ABove Average Lou Greatness
Lou Holtz is one of the all time success stories. Coming from nothing and overcoming all sorts of adversity, he is living proof that perseverence wins the day.
In this book, you are walked through any number of days with Lou and are made to feel what it's like to be rejected, stepped on and downtrodden by life and the cruelty of others.
BUT, Lou doesnt let you wallow in any of that. Instead, he offers practical ways that he and others have overcome such things to triumph. He also shares with you his stellar leadership philosophy - one that will enable you to stop blaming life and people fior what happens to you and take your own life by the horns and make beneficial changes.
That, in effect, is the crux of ALL Louisms - you are in control and what you do about your problems and challenges. Doing the right things and seeing them through to the end will determine your results.
Oh, did I mention that Lou Holtz is one of the winningest footbal coaches in history? His ways of motivating players and working his opposition are brought clearly to life in his wonderful recounting of his years as a leading sports figure. If you also love sports and sports stories - you will thoroughly enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at the Gridiron game.
I have had the pleasure of personally hearing this powerhouse of a man speak and I can say that this book is all of what he is, condensed. This is among the great works of inspiration and is all you'll ever need to motivate you in life. However, DO NOT waste your money if your greatest aspiration is to sit on the couch and watch Jerry Springer. This one belongs on the shelf of those persons who intend to DO something with themselves.
