Publisher's summary

As a two-time Super Bowl champion, three-time Pro-Bowler, first round draft pick, and former Jim Thorpe Award recipient, Malcolm Jenkins knows a thing or two about winning.

Over the course of his thirteen-year NFL career, the now retired defensive back’s triumphs extend beyond that on the football field. As a successful entrepreneur, he has seen the blossoming of his business ventures with an eponymous company named Malcolm Inc., and a media conglomerate named Listen Up Media. As a philanthropist, he strives to make a positive difference in the lives of young people in underserved communities through The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation. And as the father of two daughters, he understands the challenges of loving his children, and preparing them for an often unkind and hostile world. But for every triumph, there is a tragedy, for every loss, a lesson.

In What Winners Won’t Tell You, Jenkins share with readers the insight he’s gained from winning and losing alike. One moment, Jenkins is riding high from being the only NFL player to have Super Bowl victories against Hall of Fame quarterbacks, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady and then he’s navigating the harrowing low of a divorce from the mother of his children. In another moment he’s advocating for the advances of Black people in America, and then feuding publicly about the direction of this advocacy.

Providing fans and readers alike with an intimate portrayal of life on and off the field, detailed breakdowns of his greatest moments against the games premiere players, and poignant reflections about what it means to straddle the narrow line between victory and defeat, What Winners Won’t Tell You is the best kept secret for those who want to know what it takes to be a champion.

I thoroughly enjoyed this and can’t recommend this enough to friends and family who love the game. Enjoy!

Wonderful story and insight

This is by far one of the best books i have ever invested time in reading or listening to. I am blown away by the depth of insight and value of story presented. As a former resident of NJ and a Philadelphia sports fan to the core. It was a special read for me. Thank you Malcolm for everything.

Authentic and entertaining listen.

This book gives you a lot of insight into insecurities, self-doubt, anxiety and familial pressures that even professional athletes deal with. You experience the highs and lows of his career. Because there were so many highs as a fan we often forget the lows. Malcolm does a great job being vulnerable, sharing those lows and how he overcame them. It’s hard to believe that at one point he was rated the worst starting safety in the NFL. Malcolm’s dedication to competition and drive to gain the respect of his opponents is inspiring. The NFL legend gives a lot of insight into his personal and professional life on and off the field which is filled with life lessons, the fight for social justice and the importance of making the right decisions along the way. 2 of my favorite quotes from the book “If you want to lead the orchestra, you must turn your back to the crowd” and “What about Dallas? Absolutely not! I will retire before I play for Jerry Jones”. Authentic and entertaining listen. Highly recommend it.
