Bill Walsh was perhaps the most influential and successful coach in NFL history, transforming the San Francisco 49ers from the worst franchise in sports to a dynasty that won five Super Bowls. He is acclaimed not only for his strategic brilliance but also for his advanced approach to leadership. His teams sustained a consistency of excellence rarely seen in sports or anywhere else.

Drawn from a series of deeply revealing conversations with coauthor Steve Jamison, The Score Takes Care of Itself offers Walsh's best leadership principles illustrated by anecdotes from his entire career. Additional insights and perspective are provided by his son Craig Walsh. The book will delight football fans and guide the vast business audience eager to learn how Bill Walsh motivated individuals and crafted winning teams.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this audiobook, I'm not an NFL fan. But what I can say as a soccer coach is it had as many coaching lessons and insights as Alex Ferguson's "Leading" book.

It is perhaps one of the most complete writings I have come across regarding the coach as a leader.

Every coach, in any sport, would benefit from the timeless wisdom of Bill Walsh.

Amazing and valuable insights on coaching
