{"product_id":"9781776363322","title":"Resilience","description":"In this no-holds-barred authorised biography, record-breaking globetrotting soccer coach Ernst Middendorp opens up like never before. In his thirty-eight-year career, this two-time league champion coach has called out match-fixing; taken charge of three huge clubs for free; been the subject of a protest, found himself in a war zone and become the man the media love to hate. With unprecedented access to this German South African coach, journalist Saul Kamionsky charts Middendorp's rise from a humble upbringing in Germany to coaching 22 different teams in seven countries across three continents. Middendorp recently led Kaizer Chiefs from being in ninth position to topping the table at the Covid-19 break before infamously losing the league title on the final day of the season for his second time as a coach. Middendorp has unashamedly poured his heart out on this and much more during the many hours of interviews he has dedicated to this well-researched, educational and occasionally humorous book. He also shares worldly coaching advice and the secrets behind his success, while his wife Bronwyn and soccer icons who have worked with him reveal what he is like behind the scenes. This book will appeal to sportspeople, fans and managers from all walks of life. Middendorp's experiences, stories and insights will fascinate and inspire readers, but also occasionally make their blood boil. -- Publisher's description.","brand":"BOOKSITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45358886682739,"sku":"9781776363322","price":238.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/files\/12505423482820.jpg?v=1788969069","url":"https:\/\/readerswarehouse.us\/products\/9781776363322","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
