Jackie & Kevin Freiberg are this week’s guests here to talk about their brand-new book Bochy Ball! The Chemistry of Winning and Losing in Baseball, Business and Life. For those of you trying to catch up, Bruce Bochy was the manager of those 2010 World Champion Giants.
Let me brag on this book for just a minute. This book is beautiful. Designed like a coffee table book, with large glossy pictures, a forward by Chris Berman and an afterward by the great Willie Mays. This book defies convention for a business book as it unpacks the career success and gutsy leadership behind the San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy – a 3-time World Series champion. Bochy Ball! is a playbook for coaches, athletes, sports fanatics and business leaders who want strategies for building team chemistry and performing like champions.
