Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Having watched Kim Mulkey in her early carrer coaching Baylor all I can say is: "WOW". Mulk is a true inspirration to those on and off the court. Just a wonderful story of her journey. And so much more to come.
A must for fans of Women's College Basketball!

I am a great admirer of Kim Mulkey as both a player at La Tech and as a coach at Baylor! She has been a "winner" where-ever she's been and her book is also a "winner"!
What Makes Kim Tick
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Reading this book was enjoyable because it gave me a deeper insight into what makes Kim Mulkey tick. The background from childhood through coaching was excellent--not too detailed, but just enough info to explain things. Reading Kim's coaching philosophy and current stance at Baylor was interesting. I highly recommend this book.
Sounds just like her

I've heard Kim Mulkey speak in person as well as seen her in action coaching and this book sounds just like her. She is very forthright and as always, tells it like she sees it. Except for a few repeated or inserted sections that seem to interrupt the flow, the book is a very good read.
Informative

Kim Mulkey wrote an interesting auto biography, which helps us know how she became so succesful in her career. It is great reading for any fan of women's basketball and working mothers who in spite of the demands on their time, keep family first.
