Matt Doherty, the author of the new book, Rebound: From Pain to Passion, played and coached basketball at the University of North Carolina. He started on the 1982 National Championship team coached by Dean Smith while playing alongside NBA stars Michael Jordan and James Worthy. He is the former head coach at the University of Notre Dame and University of North Carolina. He was named 2001 National Coach of the Year.

And then in 2003….he was forced to resign!

Matt wrote Rebound  to help you become a better leader. Leadership is a learned behavior. It can be studied and developed. Not everyone is a born leader, but EVERYONE can become a better leader!

Doherty provides a game plan to help you navigate the rough terrain of leadership. He shares his journey in an authentic manner that will engage you with riveting stories of tremendous successes and……failures! Coach Doherty chose to turn his “Pain into Passion”. He went on a leadership journey studying at The Wharton School and The Darden School. Along with the help of top leadership executives, Matt learned many valuable lessons that he shares with us on this episode of the Hoop Heads Pod and in his new book Rebound.
