 Rating:  - A Worthwhile ReadNot one to buy positive motivational books I gave this one a try because I admire the author. There is a load of ideas one could adapt for personal use in this book. he author does not try and sell you on 'his program'. He is just sharing what has worked for him and his programs over the years. You pick and choose what you want to do with it. It is also a good insite into a major college football program. Rating: - Jim Tressel, you are my hero.I almost stopped reading this book after the first hour because I was afraid I would have to rethink my perspective. I might have to change my ways.

My 16 year old son started reading this book and realized it was full of great ideas to become more successful in life and not just about Ohio State Football! This book is a WINNER. Rating: - It's a WinnerThis book was a joy. It's one of those that you savor, reading a little at a time. There isn't a page that doesn't have a story or anecdote that will touch your heart. I especially liked the section on hope where Maurice Clarett was mentioned. Coach Tressel is a treasure. Thank you for writing this. |
