 A Worthwhile Read September 1, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Not one to buy positive motivational books I gave this one a try because I admire the author. There is a load of ideas one could adapt for personal use in this book. he author does not try and sell you on 'his program'. He is just sharing what has worked for him and his programs over the years. You pick and choose what you want to do with it.
It is also a good insite into a major college football program.
Jim Tressel, you are my hero. August 26, 2008

I almost stopped reading this book after the first hour because I was afraid I would have to rethink my perspective.
I might have to change my ways.
I'm going to set some life changing goals and its all because of Jim Tressel.
I thought this was going to be a "Book of quotes", but its not, its deep.
I actually feel like a better person.
To be a championship team, you must first become a group of individual champions.
It has a religious feel to it, but in a broad and general "Be a good person, find inner peace, be the best you can be in whatever you do, go do good things in your community" type of way.
I already knew Jim Tressel was some kind of super human, i just had no idea how super he was.
Review from a Penn State Fan August 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Apparently Jim Tressel has been a huge impact on my life without me even knowing it. Imagine how hard this was to accept for a Penn State Graduate. My high school football coach was on Jim's Youngstown State Penguin teams before he started coaching us in the late 1990s. Apparently my former coach learned from one of the best as hundreds if not thousands of these ideas and quotes from the book were used all through out my high school football career. This book was a nice trip down memory lane. My former coach was one of the most influential people in my life so I guess I owe a lot to Jim for passing on such great teachings.
I can still remember running across the width of the football field 53 yards and then turning and running back 53 more yards during those scorching June and July conditioning drills. We had to do it 20 times before we could make the team. This is all detailed in the book. Jim's website is also great allowing you to print out some of the goal setting pages in the book.
I think it must be weird for people to read that Jim didn't get upset after losing the national championship. It really puts things in perspective when the coach of such a big program stays humble. Granted i still don't understand the sweater vest, but like I said I am a Nittany Lions fan. Anyone (PSU fans included) will appreciate this book and it might even help you put some things in your life in better focus.
Just ask yourself: "If the game of life ended tomorrow would you consider yourself a winner?"

The Winners Manual is a guide for living one's life but the emphasis is throught sports so it appeals to folks who normally would not want to read a self-improvement book. My 16 year old son started reading this book and realized it was full of great ideas to become more successful in life and not just about Ohio State Football! This book is a WINNER.
It's a Winner August 6, 2008

This book was a joy. It's one of those that you savor, reading a little at a time. There isn't a page that doesn't have a story or anecdote that will touch your heart. I especially liked the section on hope where Maurice Clarett was mentioned. Coach Tressel is a treasure. Thank you for writing this.
