Nick Nurse distills the wisdom, insight, and experiences that helped him lead the Toronto Raptors to the NBA championship in his first year as head coach. Foreword by Phil Jackson.NBA fans had modest expectations for rookie coach Nick Nurse and his Toronto Raptors. But what those naysayers didn't realize was that Nurse had spent the past thirty years proving himself at every level of the game, from youth programs and college ball to the NBA D League and Britain's struggling pro circuit. While few coaches have taken such a circuitous path to pro basketball's promised land, the journey-which began at Kuemper Catholic high school in Carroll, Iowa-forged a coach who proved to be as unshakable as he is personable.
On the road, he is known to bring his guitar and keyboard for late-night jazz and blues sessions. In the locker room, he's steadfast and even-keeled regardless of the score. On the court, he pulls out old-school tactics with astounding success. A rookie in name but a veteran in attitude, Nurse is seemingly above the chaos of the game and, with only two seasons on his r sum , has already established himself as one of the NBA's most admired head coaches.
Now, in this revealing new book-equal parts personal memoir, leadership mani-festo, and philosophical meditation-Nurse tells his own story. Given unprecedented access inside the Raptors' locker room, readers get an intimate study of not only the team culture he has built, but also of a rookie coach's unique dynamic with the star players-such as Kawhi Leonard, Kyle Low-ry, and Pascal Siakam-who helped trail-blaze the 2019 championship run. As much for readers of Ray Dalio as for fans of John Wooden and Pat Summitt, Rapture promis-es to be a necessary read for anyone looking to forge their own path to success.

Trimmer results
Was alittle hesitant with this being B&D
But I was surprised how great it really is.
By far way above my expectations. Works like a charm and does a great job. Chose electric because I really don't have other than a driveway to do. But it really did good around the flower beds.
Cord limits you alittle but nothing to cry about. Quiet also but still use ear plugs.

Light weight and very functional
Incredibly light and functional, this trimmer forks with either string or resin blades. I personally prefer the blades. At the time I bought the unit I couldn’t locate replacement resin blades. I finally called Black and Decker and they sent me two packages of the replacement blades for free! The shield keeps trimming from being a messy horror show. No more back soreness because of the ligh weight of the unit. I’m very pleased with both the product and Black and Decker.

Needs improvement
This trimmer really looks nice and it comes with some great attachments but what I found is that if you're going to switch from the line attachment to the little plastic attachment you have to sit somewhere where you can lay the item down because you have to unscrew one to put on the other. There is no way to easily switch from line trimming to attachment trimming without using the device that unhooks the screw. In my opinion that is really a detriment to the beauty of the overall working of this item the weight of it is good, it cuts good it automatically feeds the line out the color is nice and the price is great but then you have the issue of changing the line back and forth if this was improved I think I would definitely give it five stars I'm sorry but improvements need to be made.

This can do some cutting
So glad I purchased this for cutting thin annoying vines and really tall weeds. The resin blades have held up to cutting 1/2" stemmed vines, weeds, and tall johnson grass out on the farm. Have not had to change out the first set and it comes with 3 sets of blades, plus an allen wrench for changing out the rotating head to a wire weedeater. Very happy overall. Too, it is not heavy at all, and noticed the battery lasts longer compared to using the B&D 20v line weedeater .
