Peppered with personal stories from Coach Tressel’s storied coaching career, this book shares the fundamental lessons that he has been imparting to his players and coaching staffs for the past 20 years. A perfect blend of football stories, spiritual insights, motivational reading, and practical application, The Winners Manual provides an inside look at the core philosophy that has positively impacted the lives of thousands of student athletes and served as the foundation for two of the most successful college football programs of all time. Includes 8 pages of color photos and a foreword from NYT best-selling author John Maxwell. All of the proceeds from the book are being donated directly to the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library Renovation Campaign.

      Leo Anderson was in the middle of a baseball game when he threw a ball he had just caught, heard a crunch in his elbow and fell to the ground. That sound was a growth plate in his elbow breaking, and it ended the now-15-year-old's season last spring.

    • 5/5
      Great aspect of life and being a winner in not just sports.
    • 3/5
      This book resembles Jim Tressel's media persona: confident, competent, inspiring, yet a little bland. Like many self-help tomes, it is repetitive, though drilling core concepts repeatedly is fitting for a football coach. While the text may not crackle with excitement, it nevertheless offers plenty to ponder. The most compelling sections are the personal anecdotes that illustrate what Tressel and co-author Chris Fabry call the Big Ten Fundamentals. Also interesting is a small series of biographies of people whom Tressel believes embody those fundamentals. Of interest to Christians and other spiritual seekers is an epilogue in which Tressel discusses his faith journey and how it has impacted his life. This is as close as most of us are likely to get to sitting down for a cup of coffee with the celebrated coach for a heart-to-heart conversation about the big picture, and as such it's a worthwhile read.
