"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour--his greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear--is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle--victorious."

These words of Vince Lombardi, head coach of the Green Bay Packers during the 1960s, still ring with the same force they did when first spoken over forty years ago. Countless speakers still use these words to move and inspire millions.

Now, through the incredible insight of the great coach's son, readers will get an inside look at the man behind these words. In nine chapters named after Lombardi's top values--commitment, discipline, excellence, mental toughness, habit, faith, passion, results, and truth--Vince Lombardi Jr. provides powerful motivation to chase down victory and claim it for yourself.

Review:
"Winning is not a something thing, it is an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit, unfortunately so is losing...."---Vince Lombardi, June 22, 1970
From the Back Cover:

The First Step-by-Step Guide on How Anyone Can Develop Lombardi-Like Leadership Skills --Now In Paperback!

Legendary coach Vince Lombardi--loved by some, feared by others, but respected by all--was first and foremost a winner. His unparalleled ability to inspire greatness, and mold disparate groups of individuals into dominating championship teams, made Lombardi an icon both on and off the playing field. In What It Takes to Be #1, the one person who could truly understand Vince Lombardi's unrelenting passion for winning--his son, acclaimed writer and professional speaker Vince Lombardi Jr.--explores the fundamental leadership qualities that Vince Lombardi considered essential to success, then shows how anyone can skillfully apply those qualities to achieve breakthrough success in virtually any endeavor.

Praise for What It Takes to Be #1

"[Vince Lombardi Jr.] distills the substance of the famous coach's utterances and his living example into lessons that anyone can use to become a better leader and better person. . . . [What It Takes To Be #1] may inspire you to start a process of self-discovery that could enrich your life and make you more effective at whatever you do."

--Fort Worth Morning Star

"Interpreting his father's advice for businesspeople, Lombardi hangs this book on the framework of the famous coach's much repeated speech on leadership. . . . the basic "winning model" says to know yourself, build your character, earn your stripes, think big picture, and understand that leaders are made, not born."

--The Business Reader
