The Road to J.O.Y.: Leading with Faith, Playing with Purpose, Leaving a Legacy Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

Scott Drew, head basketball coach of the NCAA National Championship-winning Baylor Bears, rebuilt a program mired in scandal by instilling a culture of putting Jesus first. The Road to J.O.Y. is packed with leadership and coaching lessons that can equip any leader to make their team a championship team.

When Drew accepted the head coaching position at Baylor in 2003, the job was arguably the worst in all of college sports. The men’s basketball team had been disgraced by scandal: one player murdered a teammate, and the head coach who lied about the details tried to conceal illegal cash payments to his players, including a false allegation that the murdered player had been dealing drugs. It was an unprecedented story and a national embarrassment. Still, Coach Drew had a confident vision of what the program could be, even in the face of such adversity, and he guided his team to the pinnacle of success—Baylor’s first National Championship—while leading with, and living out, his faith.

The Road to J.O.Y. shares:

  • Biblical principles that have helped Coach Scott Drew lead well through challenging times
  • An insider’s look at the others-first culture that spurred Baylor’s rebound
  • Coach’s wisdom for investing in others and creating a successful organization
  • The leadership lessons Drew has learned from growing up in a famous basketball family and years of coaching
  • How faith is the foundation for everything Drew does

With equal parts inspirational memoir and personal and professional growth, The Road to J.O.Y. is perfect for anyone who is looking to better live out their faith, lead a team, achieve a goal, or mentor others.

Great advice for winning in life
I’ve been an avid basketball fan for 40 plus years and a Baylor graduate in the early 90s. What Scott Drew has accomplished at Baylor the last 18 years is nothing short of remarkable.You can sum it up with creating a God centric culture and focusing on how he can help others excel.This book gives you a look into an amazing family and basketball staff that has helped to create one of the top programs in college basketball.So many great nuggets of wisdom in this book. The more you get to know Scott Drew and what makes him tick, the better your life will be.

We might not all be fortunate enough to win national championships in front of the world but we all have an opportunity to serve God and engage in ministry no matter where we are or what we do in life. This is a powerful and inspiring recounting of a God-led, mission-driven journey.

Scott Drew is a master motivator and team-builder who gets the best out of everyone he comes across. The Road to JOY is a great roadmap for anyone who works collaboratively with others and shows why Scott Drew is one of the very best coaches in all of college basketball. The nation got to see that last year when the culture of JOY instilled by Scott helped lead Baylor to its first-ever national title.

Knew a bit about the Baylor story under Coach Drew, but it's more impressive than I realized. Such a great story, with so much wisdom in the pages. Bought copies of this book to send to every coach I know to inspire them on their own coaching journey. The world needs more coaches like Coach Drew

It shows what college athletics should be about. Team before individual. NIL is killing that. Also, as a Christian it is very a very powerful testimony in what God can do with one person.
