Coach Dale Brown on Coaching the Underdog

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, you have to go with others,” says retired Louisiana State University basketball coach Dale Brown, a Hall-of-Famer who devoted himself to players’ off-the-court needs first. The renowned speaker shares his philosophies with former SUCCESS magazine Publisher Darren Hardy in this one-on-one matchup.

This interview appears on the SUCCESS Talks Collection, available in the September 2015 edition of SUCCESS magazine.
