In the summer of 2006, author Daron K. Roberts was just one year away from earning a law degree from his dream school: Harvard. But that summer, in the throes of a clerkship at a Texas law firm, Roberts had a revelation - he wanted something different. Very different. Daron Roberts wanted to be an NFL football coach.

After making the transition from Harvard Law student to NFL newbie, Roberts worked as a coach for the Kansas City Chiefs, Detroit Lions, West Virginia Mountaineers, and the Cleveland Browns.

excellent book for any aspiring coach.

Darren quickly explains how to add value to an organization while building a skill set. The NFL is a difficult group to access as a non pro player. Breaking takes incredible sacrifice that cracks the will of most people from what I have read.

Great read

I was intrigued to hear about his transition from a Harvard law student to be a NFL coach and I've enjoyed it very much to hear his story. The narration added to the overall story

Great example of never giving up

This is a book is like the movie of Rudy for people who want to coach or do anything you dreamed of doing. How bad do you want something? This book explains the drive, passion and desire of his quest to be a coach. Good use of humor to offset the tough times. Really enjoyed the book.

Most Dream and Action Inspiring Book!

I read this book when it was first published, and it changed my life...listening to it narrated by the author tops even that! Coach DKR teaches us how to shift directions, find our dreams, leap out of our comfort zones, and work hard to design and build a life we love. Call An Audible shares a life map and fire we all need. Daron has the calming, strong voice of a preacher and a sage. Hearing this book through his reading will truly bless your life beyond measure. A must-read!

A damn good story of grit and determination 🤘

I was lucky enough to attend one of Daron’s courses at UT, and his impact on my life has synergized with the likes of Angela Duckworth, Steven Covey, Napoleon Hill, and others. This is that self optimization and growth put into practice, and it’s a healthy 70/30 mix of storytelling and advice. An enjoyable listen with plenty of life lessons from an incredible human 🧡

Great Story about Pivoting in Life

Life occasionally requires people to pivot or change directions. This is one of the scariest things that a human can do and goes against all of our survival instincts. Mr. Roberts does great job outlining the attitude you need to attack a these pivots (audibles) with passion and zeal. Often times, the way people handle these audibles determines the trajectory of their lives. Great read.
