It reveals how determination took him from an impoverished home in the mountains of North Carolina to the very pinnacle of coaching success, culminating in the 2009 NCAA National Championship (his second in five years). It is an inspirational story of what can be achieve by anyone who commits themselves to their dreams. AnnotationNorth Carolina men's head basketball coach Roy Williams describes his unlikely rise to success, detailing his destitute childhood in the Carolina hills and the trials he endured at the bottom of the coaching totem pole. After being abandoned by his abusive alcoholic father, Roy and his mother lived hand-to-mouth, but the tough life forced him to develop diligence, resilience, and a fierce competitive spirit which would serve him well in later life. Williams humorously recalls his first job at the University of North Carolina, as a glorified gopher to legendary coach Dean Smith, but he soon found himself helping to recruit superstars like James Worthy and Michael Jordan. Williams has plenty of anecdotes about the numerous talented players he has coached over the years, including his 2009 championship team, led by All-Americans Ty Lawson and Tyler Hansbrough. Coach Roy Williams, one of the most successful basketball coaches in the nation, tells the story of his life that few people know, from his turbulent family life as a child to the North Carolina Tar Heels' National Championship victory in 2009.
