ow do you get the best out of people? What does it take to make a team thrive?

Few people know the answers better than Emma Hayes. As the coach of Chelsea FC Women, she has led the club to 14 major trophies. She is a widely celebrated figure in sports media and has been named TV pundit of the year by both Broadcast Magazine and the Sports Journalists Association. In 2021 she was named Best Football Coach by FIFA, in 2016 she was named MBE in the Queen's 90th birthday honours list, and in 2022 was awarded an OBE for her services to football.
In her first ever book, written in collaboration with internationally best-selling author Michael Calvin, Emma shares her experience of managing a high-performance football team to draw out life lessons and techniques that anyone can use to their advantage. It's also a fascinating look into the world of women's football told by a woman at the centre of it, with frank, entertaining anecdotes from on and off the field.
