Brian Cody is the most successful manager in modern times in the GAA having claimed six All-Ireland Championship titles with Kilkenny over the last decade and now, in 2009, Brian Cody is targeting an historic four in-a-row!
In the autumn of 2009, at the end of what promises to be a pulsating year of hurling, Brian Cody will also be launching his autobiography, ‘Cody’ which will bring sports fans into the hearts and minds of the most successful team in Ireland.
Cody will reveal his beliefs and philosophies, which have been central to the creation of the most successful GAA team since the turn of the millennium, and he will share the experiences as a player and a manager which have helped define him as the Kilkenny team boss.
Cody will surprise and inspire GAA fans throughout the country, and will also unveil a winning formula which is necessary for success in business, as well as sport.
“This is a hurling book,” explains Brian Cody, “but, I believe it will also be a book for sports people and business people, and people in every walk of life. I know that the difference between winning and losing can be minute, and I hope that in my book people can see what exactly has made the difference for the Kilkenny hurling team.
“This book is about pride, it is about self-belief, and it is about ambition. More than anything else, however, it is also about humility and the absolutely vital importance of understanding that every single day of your life, whether you are a sports person or not, is a day to be discovered and challenged.
“This book, I suppose, is really the story of a man who has had the privilege of leading an extremely talented group of people – on the field and off the field – in search of a unique achievement. Leading those great people, helping them, and being helped by them, that’s my story in Cody. The book will hit stores this Autumn.
