Darren Blood is an embarrassment to the coaching profession: unrelenting, authoritative, and devoid of people skills. Twice fired and still shaking off a scandal, Blood's career seems over-until his friend, university president and emotional intelligence expert Dr. James Harding, hires him to coach the struggling women's basketball program at Virginia Central State University. Faced with a legacy of defeat, Blood must confront his flaws and embrace EQ strategies to turn around the Lady Foxhounds.

Old Dog, New Tricks is a fictional depiction of a brash coach transforming an underachieving program. By using emotional strategies that drive collaboration, build trust, and encourage resilience, Coach Barry Davis, PhD, demonstrates how coaches can win and create an enduring program using emotional intelligence.
