From the publisher: "The celebrated coach shares his philosophy of football, profiles players he has coached, recounts key moments in his career." From the dust jacket: "Bill Walsh is perhaps the most famous and the most respected football coach in the world. And for good reason: in 1979, he took the head coaching job for the San Francisco 49ers, a team with a dismal record and no prospects for future success. Just two years later he led the team to its first Super Bowl triumph; three more would follow during the 1980's, as Walsh's creative game strategy and meticulous front office planning shaped exciting teams that won, and won, and won again. IN BUILDING A CHAMPION, Bill Walsh shares for the first time his unique insights into the game of football. Here he reveals in fascinating detail the thinking, both short-and long-term, that changed the 49ers from losers to champions. Fans, coaches, and young players will learn from Walsh's discussions of various aspects of football…". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by Bill Walsh. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover.

About this title

Synopsis

A new generation is evolving together through the passage of eldership. In Audacious Aging, we collect their voices, full of wisdom, fierceness, compassion and gentleness. They are the graceful and eloquent transformative agents our communities and our planet are now seeking. This book brings together voices from medicine, psychology, business, government, the media, and entertainment, to articulate a brilliant new vision of the possibilities of the second half of life. Some are in their nineties, others are in their twenties, yet they share a common vision of aging. Not content with "going gently into that good night," they all see midlife and beyond as a gateway to changing the planet, and accelerating their personal transformation. They expect to live long, healthy, active and influential lives. They are profoundly engaged at the crossroads of crises and opportunities on Earth, and in this inspiring book, they paint a brilliant new picture of the opportunities that come with aging audaciously.
