An extract from the synopsis of the book:

At the heart of Humanball lies the story of a team that is more than just the sum of its parts. It’s a story about getting the very best out of those around you. It’s a story about defying expectations—both those imposed by others and the ones we set for ourselves.

Performance coach Tom Dawson-Squibb tells the entertaining and inspiring story of his five years as the head coach of the University of Cape Town’s Ikey Tigers rugby team. Tom reveals how the most potent teams connect and inspire individuals to give effort far beyond what’s expected–and even what we believe to be possible at the time. He shows us how to find joy, meaning, and connection in our work and how to see much of what we call “work” as a serious form of play.
