Story4.5 out of 5 stars 44
The National Football League's current dominance has obscured how professional football got its start. In The League, John Eisenberg reveals that Art Rooney, George Halas, Tim Mara, George Preston Marshall, and Bert Bell took an immense risk by investing in the professional game. At that time, the sport barely registered on the national scene. The five owners succeeded only because at critical junctures in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, each sacrificed the short-term success of his team for the longer-term good of the League.

In the world of strength and conditioning, learning how to move others not just physically, but also psychologically and emotionally is paramount to getting the most out of them. People are the ultimate performance variable, and understanding how to effectively blend knowledge of proper training with the nuances of human behavior is integral to helping athletes achieve their ultimate goals. Unfortunately, while much attention has been given to the science of physical training, little attention has been given to the science of communication.

Publisher's Summary
An inspirational guide for leaders by the two-time Super Bowl-winning coach of the New York Giants
Preparation is easy to praise but very hard to master. No modern coach, in any sport, understands that better than NFL veteran Tom Coughlin. He led the New York Giants to two Super Bowl victories (2008 and 2012) with his system of relentless preparation and old-school tough-mindedness.
He teaches his players that you can never guarantee a win, but you can always earn the right to win - with focus, consistency, hard work, and anticipation of obstacles. And if you’ve earned the right to win, you can sleep soundly before a big game and take the field with confidence.
Now Coughlin brings his best advice and anecdotes to a wider audience, and shows how they apply beyond the gridiron. As he likes to say, the more you sweat, the less you bleed. He explains his attention to detail and his passion for knowing even the smallest bits of information that might affect a game. He also shows how to build flexibility into your plan and prepare for the unexpected.
Coughlin blends insider stories with practical insights from his 40-year career, creating a powerful guide for leaders in any field.

Great Stuff
First and foremost I’m a Cowboys fan, but that didn’t keep me from reading Coughlin’s book, and I’m glad I did. Even though I didn’t know much about him, I always respected the man and thought he was a great coach. If you’re a football fan and love quotes, you’ll enjoy the stories and references in his book. They’re great and are all relevant. He does repeat a couple of stories, but the message’s are still clear. This book is full of nuggets that we could all use and apply to our lives.

Looking for a book to get you prepped and pumped? Look no further.
If you are a New York Football Giants fan then this might be a self help bible. If you are not then is definitely a good philosophy and guide book for success. I see this as a good refresher and one you should read once or twice a year before a "rush season" or if I am in a slump.
Regardless a solid man and good principles to live by.
