Never Stop: Life, Leadership, and What It Takes to Be Great

By Ian O'Connor and Dan Hurley

Discover the inspiring life and leadership lessons of a legendary coach who turned his University of Connecticut team into back-to-back NCAA champions--wisdom that goes far beyond the basketball court.

What does it take to be truly great? In Never Stop, UConn Basketball Coach Dan Hurley and acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Ian O'Connor dive deep into this question. After leading the UConn Huskies to back-to-back NCAA Championships, Hurley faced a life-changing decision: stay and build on his legacy with the college players he loved or take the leap to coach a legendary NBA team. Here, Hurley brings you inside that pivotal moment and shares the powerful lessons that helped him build a championship culture, offering practical strategies that apply far beyond basketball.

Hurley's story is one of grit, resilience, and redemption. Born into basketball royalty as the son of a legendary high school coach and brother to a Duke Blue Devils icon, Dan's path wasn't easy. His life spiraled into a battle with mental health so severe that he once contemplated suicide. But through sheer determination, he turned his struggles into strength, stepping out of his family's shadow to create his own legacy.

In the tradition of coaching classics like Tim Grover's Relentless and Phil Jackson's Eleven Rings, Never Stop is more than an inspirational story--it's a playbook for life. Hurley's story is both uplifting and instructive, blending raw honesty and actionable advice, making it a must-read for sports fans, business leaders, and anyone chasing greatness.
