Until Victory Always

The book entitled Until Victory Always will be published on Amazon.co.uk on October 23 this year, just over a year since making the decision to end his tenure as Donegal football manager.
The synopsis of the book reads: " When Jim McGuinness took over as manager of the Donegal senior football team in the autumn of 2010, they'd been dismissed as a joke; a bunch of dilettantes too fond of the night life. When he stepped down four years later, they had won three Ulster championships, the 2012 All-Ireland title and contested the 2014 All-Ireland final against Kerry.
"This is the story of how he combined a unique vision and ferocious drive to create a powerful and disciplined team that bucked history and defied every expectation.
"McGuinness sent a shockwave through Gaelic games by devising an approach which polarised opinion and forced fans, players and managers alike to look at the game differently. From the outside, what Donegal were doing appeared mysterious, dark and fearsome.
"Here, and for the first time, McGuinness reveals what life was like inside the Donegal camp and reflects on the decisions and experiences that propelled his players to the summit of the sport.
"A moving and honest meditation on the nature of sportsmanship, dedication and what it means to lead, Until Victory Always is an honest and inspiring account of achievement in the face of incredible adversity."
McGuinness continued in his role as an adviser at Glasgow Celtic since his departure from Donegal and the Glenties man has also taken up a role as a GAA pundit with Sky Sports this year.

In the middle of his memoir now, brilliant read. He talks about his family and wife being selfless and allowing him to pursue his sporting goals, but Jim himself is a selfless, honest man, he gives his players all of the credit.
A lot of respect for him from Mayo.

i met a lot of people in ireland like him, able to discuss experiences and emotions so directly. one of the many things i loved about my visit..felt so comfortable, b/c here in usa, folk, esp men, have such trouble discussing things like loss directly....this interviewer is so good so often. gives space for the folk to talk. no one in usa like that on tele.

[@stephenmckeown448]

He’s educated in psychology. He didn’t want to drag Donegal down with outside distractions . He left while he was on top and to pursue his education
