"The lessons contained in this book may start out having to do with sports, but they apply to almost every aspect of life. The stories in this book are wonderfully entertaining, and the lessons are priceless. This is a book about winning, written by a man who is a true winner in every sense of the word."
-- Steve Spurrier, football coach, University of Florida Gators
"Coach Lou Holtz has written one of the best motivational books that I've ever read on how to be successful in whatever you do in life."
Reader ReviewsI happened to notice this book one day when I took my daughter to the library. A friend of mine is a personal acquaintance of Lou's so I decided to see what 'Ol Lou is all about for myself. This is a book of (mostly humorous) stories that makes it a fun, easy read. At the same time, each story has powerful success principles and truths embedded within. If you want to see powerful leadership in action, this is a great book. If you want to get more from your interactions and relationships with people in every area of your life, this is a great book. If you find yourself doubting your abilities and potential, this is a great book. If you want to be able to learn from someone who started out as a nobody with nothing and ended up as somebody who had something, this is a great book. If you weren't fortunate enough to have a parent or adult-figure who taught you how to win at the game of life, then I heartily recommend this book to help fill in that void. If you don't see yourself in the preceding statements, or, if you have read all the success books and you are looking for something brand-new that you have never heard of before, then this probably isn't the book for you.
