This audiobook represents the first time in the modern era that a writer has got this close to one of the elite teams of world football. At the invitation of Pep Guardiola, he shadowed the Catalan, his staff and his superstar players during training and on matchdays. Bayern smashed domestic records on their way to the double, but were humiliated by Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final.

Several years ago, Sam Walker set out to answer one of the most hotly debated questions in sports: What are the greatest teams of all time? He devised a formula, then applied it to thousands of teams from leagues all over the world, from the NBA to the English Premier League to Olympic field hockey. When he was done, he had a list of the 16 most dominant teams in history. At that point he became obsessed with another, more complicated question: What did these freak teams have in common?

Real Madrid is the most successful sports team on the planet. The soccer club has more trophies than any other sports team, including 11 UEFA Champions League trophies. However, the story behind the triumph goes beyond the players and coaches.

How did Real Madrid achieve such extraordinary success? Columbia Business School adjunct professor Steven G. Mandis investigates.

Publisher's Summary
New Zealand rugby is a dynasty that transcends all national barriers. As a culture and a model of humility and consistent success, which have led them to three Rugby World Cups, the world of rugby continues to look to the New Zealand model for guidance.
Traditionally, the renowned All Blacks and those charged with guiding them have kept their rules of engagement close to their chests. However now, New Zealand Rugby has agreed to open their doors to rugby writer Peter Bills to consider the reasons behind their dominance of the world game in the build-up towards the Lions Series in 2017 and Rugby World Cup 2019 in Japan. Through this audiobook, Peter Bills draws on case studies and interviews of officials, coaches and players as well as people involved in all elements of rugby right across New Zealand. The Jersey tells an extraordinary story with unprecedented access and insight and explores the basic requirements and immense challenges required not only to become number one in the world but to remain consistently at the top.

Incredible insight
I bought this audio book for insight and inspiration that can be brought into the business world. As a Springbok supporter, I found the story of the All Blacks incredible.

An enjoyable read. More than just rugby
A well-researched and well written book. As well as rugby, it delves into the culture and mindset of the New Zealand nation and you are then able to connect the dots from their psyche all the way through to the All Blacks itself, gaining a better understanding on why they have remained peerless for decades. A very honest account of NZ rugby, not afraid of criticising the All Black if needed. Well narrated and enjoyable.

worth a listen for rugby fans
I wish the narrator could correctly pronounce maori and Samoan names. he also does funny accents when speaking on behalf of south African and Ireland legends. It's a bit cheesy.

Was an interesting listen. Pulling together all the strands of what makes a New Zealander and New Zealander and ultimately those that go on to become an All Black.
