Free Kindle Wins, Losses, And Lessons CD: An Autobiography ebooks Download
When I die and people realize that I will not be resurrected in three days, they will forget me. That is the way it should be. For reasons known only to God, I was asked to write an autobiography. Most people who knew me growing up didn't think I would ever read a book, let alone write one.—Lou HoltzFew people in the history of college sports have been more influential or had a bigger impact than Lou Holtz. Winner of the three national Coach of the Year honors, the only coach ever to lead six different schools to season-ending bowl games, and the ninth-winningest coach in college football history, Holtz is still teaching and coaching, although he is no longer on the gridiron. In his most telling work to date, the man still known as "Coach" reveals what motivated a rail-thin 135-pound kid with marginal academic credentials and a pronounced speech impediment to play and coach college football, and to become one of the most sought-after motivational speakers in history. With unflinching honesty and his trademark dry wit, Holtz goes deep, giving us the intimate details of the people who shaped his life and the decisions he would make that shaped the life of so many others.His is a storied career, and Holtz provides a frank and inside look at the challenges he overcame to turn around the programs at William and Mary, North Carolina State, Arkansas, and Minnesota. From growing up in East Liverpool, Ohio, to his early days as a graduate assistant at the University of Iowa, to his national championship runs at Notre Dame and his final seasons on the sidelines in South Carolina, Lou Holtz gives his best, a poignant, funny, and instructive look into a life well lived.

This is a great book that I can not say enough good things about. All ages and genders will love this one.If you are running a business, raising a family or a kid in school this book is a great read.It is like taking an injection of a century of wisdom all at once. The author is very wise and was surrounded by very wise people his entire life.Then it is all wrapped up in an entertaining story. There is drama. There is laughs. There is tragedy. There is family loss. Job Loss. And triump through out.All in a real life story.
My husband loved this autobiography and enjoyed hearing Lou tell the story. Great for any football fan and Lou Holtz fan.
I am very happy with my audio book. It was in excellent condition and is a joy to listen to. It was package for a safe delivery.
I bought this item for my son, a football coach, and he stated that it was the best presentation that he had ever heard. Although I had heard this previously from the person who had recommended it. Haven't listened myself, but will to assure that both are correct.
