MasterClass announced this week that Mike Krzyzewski, the Hall of Fame former head men’s basketball coach for Duke University and the United States National Team, will teach a class on values-driven leadership.
MasterClass is a streaming platform where anyone can learn from the world’s best across a wide range of subjects. In his class, Coach K demonstrates how to lead from any position on a team through motivation, communication, trust and teamwork. Krzyzewski’s class is now available exclusively on MasterClass, where subscribers get unlimited access to all 180+ instructors with an annual membership.
The winningest coach in college basketball history, who led Duke to five national championship and Team USA to three consecutive Olympic gold medals, shares never-before-heard techniques to help members become more effective leaders both on and off the court. He instructs on aligning personal objectives with those of their teams and how to build culture through trust and working toward a common goal. To demonstrate the importance of teamwork, Krzyzewski welcomes in former Duke captain and NBA champion Shane Battier to reflect on the team culture and critical thinking that led to the Blue Devils’ 2001 national championship. Coach K also shares his experience keeping players like Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant focused through challenging circumstances.
Krzyzewski retired from coaching in 2022 after 47 years on the sidelines — 42 years at Duke and a five-year tenure at Army West Point — with a 1,202-368 overall record and 1,129-309 at Duke. Following his retirement, Krzyzewski continues to serve as an ambassador to Duke University.
