We believe that little things add up to big things, says Harte

NO manager of a successful GAA team has ever bared his soul as much as Mickey Harte has done through the diary he kept in between his appointment in Tyrone and their magical All-Ireland triumph last September.

The book he has co-written with Sunday Tribune's Kieran Shannon provides a remarkable insight into what can best be described as an ultra-professional approach. It also a fitting tribute to what he and his players achieved.

In many ways, Kicking Down Heaven's Door could be regarded as a handbook for any manager with aspirations for success, at club or inter-county level. To say that his approach was methodical would be an understatement. It was absolutely meticulous in its planning and implementation.
