Pat Riley on Dr. Jerry Buss

PAT RILEY - One of the most successful coaches in NBA history, Pat Riley understands the keys to gaining a competitive advantage -- and winning. Current president and head coach of the Miami Heat, Pat Riley is the consummate competitor who knows the exhilaration that comes with winning. He guided the Heat to the playoffs in each of his first three seasons with them and led the team to win the 2006 NBA Championship -- the franchise's first title. Riley most recently won the 2012 and 2013 NBA championships with the Miami Heat as their team president. He is the first (and so far only) North American sports figure to win a championship as a player, coach (both assistant and head), and executive. He received the Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award from the NBA Coaches Association on June 20, 2012. During four years with the New York Knicks, Coach Riley posted four 50-plus win seasons and led the Knicks to the NBA Finals for the first time in more than two decades. Riley shares his strategies for winning and outdistancing the competition on the court -- and off. Riley is not only one of professional basketball's winningest coaches, but his speeches before hundreds of corporations have earned him the title of "America's Greatest Motivational Speaker." He has been rated by Success Magazine as "The best in his field." He is a consummate competitor who knows the exhilaration that comes with winning. His philosophy is based upon winning, leadership, mastery, change, and personal growth as well as understanding and controlling the shifting dynamics of a team--any team, whether it is a small company, a giant corporation, a city or a group of athletes. He is author of two best-selling books, Showtime and The Winner Within. Book Pat Riley at Speakers.com. www.speakers.com/Pat-Riley-spe...
