About this title

Product Description:

Rare Book

From the Back Cover:

What does it reallymean to be a winner? Are there certain qualities that winners inherently possess that make them natural difference makers? How can you measure such a thing? The book you're holding is my attempt not only to answer these questions but also to distill the heart of a nearly four-hundred-page handbook I have been handing out to my players on the first day of spring practice for more than twenty years. We call it The Winners Manual-a personal playbook for success, filled with insights on what it takes to be a winner in the game of life from some of the greatest coaches, athletes, writers, thinkers, and leaders in the world. We developed it to help our athletes become the best players and people they can possibly be. The principles in this book have been passed down to me from my father; from coaches I have had the privilege of knowing, working with, and competing against; and from hundreds of former players, who have taught me a great deal about success, adversity, winning and losing, hope, love-basically, the stuff of life. I think you'll find the information in this book is not so much about football as it is about life and what it really takes to succeed-physically, emotionally, spiritually, and professionally. These principles have been absolutely invaluable to me over the years, and I hope they will be for you as well. A portion of the proceeds from this book will go to the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library campaign at The Ohio State University.
