Críticas:
"A star coach tells his inspiring tale . . . by the end of this engaging tale, you'll realize why Williams is an unparalleled recruiter . . . He works as hard as anyone, and he knows how to tell a good story." --Sports Illustrated
"Hard Work is a successful coach's memoir not because it provides a blueprint for success but because it reveals the humiliations and insecurities that have stoked Williams' competitive fire." --Will Blythe, The Raleigh News and Observer
"If Roy Williams has a secret it is that he is the same person now that he was when I first met him as Dean Smith's No. 3 assistant many, many years ago. This book is a clear reflection of that man--hard working but loyal, dogged, self-deprecating, and, at his core, one of the world's truly good people." --John Feinstein
"A near perfect embodiment of the American Dream."--Kirkus Reviews
"Hard Work is a successful coach's memoir not because it provides a blueprint for success but because it reveals the humiliations and insecurities that have stoked Williams' competitive fire." --Will Blythe, The Raleigh News and Observer
