‘There is so much more to the man than single-minded determination.’ Sunday Telegraph

‘His first day in the job of England coach is superbly described, and thereafter he is forever going the extra yard to make his team great.’ Sunday Times
__________

Winning! tells a remarkable story – an unforgettable journey that began in September 1997 and took the English Rugby Team team from the lower ranks of international first-class rugby to the top as World Cup Champions.

Sir Clive Woodward and his team mounted a campaign of vast change, great learning, team building and clear vision to achieve their aim. ‘We would question everything, change anything and leave no stone unturned,’ he writes.

WINNING! will talk about the team’s journey of innovation and discovery and will reveal exactly how it happened, the fundamentals of their success and how these principles can be applied to any human endeavour. ‘We changed the way we coached, the way we played and, of equal importance, how we operated off the field.’ Bringing his business management skills to the game, Woodward simplified the entire approach to the structure of the team and created new management systems both on and off the pitch.

In an anecdotal style, Clive Woodward entertains and informs while he describes the thrilling build-up to England’s World Cup triumph in 2003.

Reviews

The Sunday Times
His first day in the job of England coach is superbly described, and thereafter he is forever going the extra yard to make his team great.
Sunday Telegraph
There is much more to the man than single-minded determination.
Yorkshire Post
To the hardened rugby fan, it is incisive and required reading. To anyone involved in sports coaching or administration, regardless of the sport or level of competition, 'Winning!' is essential reading.
Daily Express
Very different to pretty much any sporting autobiography on the market... Fascinating.
The Sun
Entertaining and informative.
The Sunday Times sports books of the year
The best feature of the book is that the essential Woodward comes through so strongly.
