Book excerpt: Coach B Fearless By: Lamont Bryant (Coach B) Chronicling Lamont Bryant’s childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, Coach B Fearless: Beating All Odds tells the story of inner-city basketball life in Chicago. At times educational, at times historical, Bryant tells his story: the story of how he rose from humble beginnings to become the man he is today. It’s a profound tale of both his personal and professional journeys. Bryant has played alongside, coached, and worked with some of the top names in basketball in high school, the NCAA, and the NBA. Both of the documentary movies Hoop Dreams, in 1994, and its sequel, Hoop Reality, in 2007, were filmed on his courts, about his boys. Just as each of these are must-see movies, Coach B Fearless: Beating All Odds is a must-read book.
Download or read book Fearless written by Doug Pederson and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does an underdog become a champion? One of the most innovative, gutsy, and dynamic head coaches in the NFL reveals the strategies behind building the Eagles team that shocked the world by winning the Super Bowl. Doug Pederson is the very definition of an underdog. He was an undrafted rookie free agent who would go on to play fourteen years in the NFL as a backup quarterback. He was cut five times, yet kept getting back up and into the fray. He would win one Super Bowl, with the Green Bay Packers. When he retired, he decided to coach, but not at the pro level. Instead, he was head coach of Calvary Baptist Academy in Shreveport, Louisiana. After a successful four-year stint there, he returned to the NFL as an assistant coach under Andy Reid with the Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs, where he was instrumental in the development of quarterback Alex Smith and his string of 3,000-plus-yard seasons of passing. When he was offered the job as head coach of the Eagles, he jumped at it, though few thought he would succeed. In the first season, a year of rebuilding, they finished 7-9. Some doubted his abilities, and before the 2017 season, one "expert" called Pederson the least qualified coach in thirty years. Plagued by the sidelining of seasoned players and devastated by quarterback Carson Wentz's season-ending knee injury, the Eagles managed a 13-3 record and home-field advantage in the playoffs. Yet they were still the underdogs in every single game, including the Super Bowl, against the New England Patriots, one of the greatest dynasties in the history of the NFL. It wasn't until they stunned the Patriots that people finally believed in Pederson and his team. In Fearless, Pederson reveals the principles that guided him through the ups and downs and tough times of his career, and what it took to become a champion. Through it all, Pederson sustained himself with his faith and the support of his family. He shares the defining stories of his life and career, growing up with his disciplinarian Air Force dad and his tender-hearted mom, developing friendships with Dan Marino and Brett Favre, and learning from mentors, such as Don Shula, Mike Holmgren, and Andy Reid, who helped mold him into the man and coach he is today. Fearless captures Pederson's coaching and leadership philosophies and reveals the brilliant mind and indomitable spirit of a man who has entered the pantheon of great coaches.

Book excerpt: On paper, Coach Rob Mendez sounds like any other football coach on any other field across America: passionate, authoritative, knowledgeable. But he’s unlike any other coach you know--in fact, he’s probably unlike any other person you know. Born with an extraordinarily rare condition called tetra-Amelia syndrome, Rob has no arms or legs. He moves with the assistance of a custom-made, motorized wheelchair that he operates with his back and shoulders. Many people look at Rob and see limitation, yet Rob sees opportunity: Opportunity to pursue his passion for football. Opportunity to change the way people perceive physical disability. Opportunity to serve as a role model for the hundreds of kids he’s coached over the years. Told with both humor and frankness, Who Says I Can’t? takes readers on Rob’s incredible journey, from his birth to loving parents who wanted to afford him every chance for happiness, to the emotional and physical hurdles he faced while seeking independence, to receiving the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance at the ESPY Awards in 2019. Each day, Coach Rob rolls onto the field and shows his players that dreams are achievable when you show up, do the work, and believe in yourself. And after reading this book you, too, will believe that anything is possible.

Download or read book God s Coach written by Skip Bayless and published by . This book was released on 1990-08 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is Tom Landry? The great football coach whose tireless efforts on behalf of Christian causes led Billy Graham to hail him as "like a John the Baptist to me"? Or the distant, befuddled figure who would send in goal-line plays at midfield, blame others whenever his team lost, and whose players called him "steely," "cold-blooded," and "a liar"? God's Coach is a scathing look at the football franchise that dared to all itself America's Team, and the coach whose Christian charity extended to strangers everywhere, but rarely spoke to the players who labored under him. Skip Bayless, the controversial columnist for the Dallas Times Herald, strips away the image created by the most powerful PR machine in sports and takes a sharp, clear-eyed look at the men behind it. Why was this coach and celebrated motivational speaker wholly unable to motivate his team? Why did a man so dedicated to spreading the word of God's love have to rule through fear? Skip Bayless deflates the myths and punctures the self-importance in which the Cowboys wrapped themselves for nearly thirty years. We see the team president who ruled like an owner despite controlling only 3 percent of the team; the Draftmaster who, according to his chief scout, did not study film and "never learned the details of the game"; the star quarterback who never said a word against his coach publicly, but who changed Landry's call on virtually every important play during his career. Bayless shares with us the words and views of insiders who are finally willing to break their silence, including former players, front-office personnel, assistant coaches, and the men who owned the team. He paints an unforgettable portrait of a man reveling in his image as God's chosen football coach, but also trapped by it--unwilling to confess error or share responsibility, unable to change or adapt to change, either in his team's personnel or in the game itself. He shows us the Landry who reserved his highest praise for those who played despite injuries, leading players to take dangerous painkillers before games; who seemed oblivious to the shady dealing and immoral and illegal escapades of those all around him; and who devoted large chunks of his time to speaking before Christian groups, but far less to coaching and planning than NFL coaches. And in the final, spectacular irony, Bayless shows how Jerry Jones's solution to what even Tex Schramm recognized as "the Landry problem" freed Landry to become his image--to be God's Coach without burden of actually coaching. As entertaining as it is revealing, as thoughtful as it is though provoking, God' Coach is compelling reading, a stunning experience for anyone who embraced the myths of The Man in the Hat.--From jacket flap.

Download or read book Giants written by Pat Summerall and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2010-11-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One the greatest NFL broadcasters distills the wisdom of two of the greatest coaches As both a tight end and a place kicker for the 1958 Giants (back when special teams were part of the defense), Pat Summerall was the only person to be coached by both Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry, the team's offensive and defensive coaches, respectively. In telling the story of that legendary season, which ended with the Giants losing to the Colts in the NFL championship game, Summerall explores the wisdom that was passed along to him that made him a better player, and later a better broadcaster and better a man. The wide range of lessons covers personal behavior (react like a football player; training doesn't end in training camp; don't dwell on your success), work relationships (the boss keeps time, they can get somebody who wants to play) and winning (believe in your heart that you'll win, try to win every game, but focus on one game at a time) The book also lays out the Lombardi Code (Speak Confidently, and Prepare) and the Landry Code (Faith, Family and Football) Summerall tells vivid and inspirational stories about the game on and off the field that bring the lessons to life

If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better. Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honor, and courage. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments.
