Look back in your life and ask yourself this question, "Wasn’t it when you had a good coach in your life that you experienced the most accelerated growth you've ever experienced?" Then why don't you have a coach today? You'll be hard pressed to find one top athlete, Olympian, or top CEO who doesn't have a skilled expert in their life who finds and fills in their missing structures, has conversations with them that they don't want to have, makes them do things they don't want to do, so that ultimately they can become something they didn't even believe they could become. Everybody Needs a Coach in Life will show you how to bust through both your business and personal ceilings, aggressively expand your territory, and stimulate your growth in ways you can't even imagine.

Everybody Needs a Coach in Life takes three decades worth of coaching and condenses it into a book that can change the way you see every area of your life by someone that knows how to get the most out of you.

Coach Max Bass was a head football coach for thirty-two years; two years at the Boles School in Jacksonville, Florida, and twenty-nine years at Newnan High School in Newnan, Georgia. For eleven years, he also coached baseball, track, and golf. During his time in Newnan, he also served as the athletic director for all sports at the school. In football, Coach Bass’s record was 216–109–8. His team won eight regional championships and, in 1981, was the state runner-up. He was a charter member and president of the Georgia Athletic Directors Association, a member of the American Football Coaches Association, and served on the GACA Hall of Fame selection committee. Coach Bass was named Coach of the Year in 1991 by the GACA and the Atlanta Football Officials Association. He was Athletic Director of the Year from 1989 to 1990 and was inducted into the Georgia Athletics Directors Hall of Fame in 2010. In 1995, the Newnan High Athletic Complex was given his name, and in 2003, he was inducted into the Coweta County Hall of Fame. His pastimes were fishing, gardening, and just being outdoors. He loved his family, watching and talking football and bringing up politics for “lively discussion.” But above all, Coach Max Bass found his greatest mission in the development and love for all the students and young people he either coached or encouraged. He passionately wanted everyone to be the best person they could be and rise above their situation and life challenges. He was an “influencer” of his time.

Throughout his fascinating 45-year career, Coach Mike Jarvis has experienced what it feels like to be on top of the world. He also knows what it's like on the other end of college basketball's vast spectrum (and every place in between). Through it all, he has come to some significant conclusions about the true meaning of life. In the book Everybody Needs A Head Coach, Jarvis shares stories from his incredible run as a championship high school coach and his successful years as the leader of four NCAA Division I programs that have included interactions with high profile figures such as Red Auerbach, Patrick Ewing, Michael Jordan, Ron Artest, Mike Krzyezewski, Adrian Branch, Sam Jones, Rumeal Robinson, and Matt Damon. But more importantly, Coach Jarvis and co-author Chad Bonham turn those experiences into 23 life-affirming lessons that reflect relevant biblical principles such as determination and forgiveness.

At the heart of each successful leader, you will find unshakeable principles, core values, driving motivations and inspiring perspectives. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes, built on the values of integrity, team work, serving and excellence, has asked 40 leaders to share their key insights on what makes the greatest leader ever and how they live out those principles on the field, in the arena, in the classroom and at home. Coaches, athletes, sports fans and aspiring leaders will find motivation on every page, in addition to time-tested principles of leadership based on biblical values. And it will answer the question: Who is the greatest leader ever? Contributors Include Kurt Warner, Lance Berkman, Tom Osborne, Andy Pettitte, Jane Albright, Jackie Joyner-Kersee and others. It will also feature leadership success stories about the late John Wooden and Tom Landry, and an inspiring challenge from FCA president and former NFL coach Les Steckel.

What does it take to be a student-athlete at Notre Dame? Sports fans may have an idea of what it takes to play football at a Division I college: the training, the discipline, the pain, the motivation. But most of us have no idea what it takes to be a successful student-athlete at a top academic institution such as Notre Dame. In “The Men We Became: More Echoes From the End Zone,” the follow up to Lisa Kelly’s first book “Echoes From the End Zone: The Men We Became;” Lisa details what it takes to be a successful student-athlete at Notre Dame: the dedication, determination and drive that Our Lady’s student-athletes need to find success both on and off the field. She tells the stories of another group of Notre Dame football players including: • The lessons they learned in college, and how those lessons changed their lives via the Notre Dame Value Stream • Their years at Notre Dame • The end of their football careers • The new careers and dreams they followed after football "The profiles of the Notre Dame men presented in this book touch on the significant impact the University played in the shaping of these individuals after they left . Lisa does a masterful job of extracting the essence of what make Notre Dame men special. I am proud of the legacy I was fortunate enough to be a part of and grateful to Lisa for doing such a remarkable job in telling our stories.” ~Reggie Brooks “The men featured in this book are special individuals and represent all that is great about Notre Dame. These men are significant and they have strived each day to make an impact and difference in all things that they touch. They were - and as far as I’m concerned remain - Notre Dame student-athletes and I’m proud to have been a part of their lives. Lisa, thank you for your work and sharing with the Notre Dame Family what you so appropriately have named, “The Men We Became: More Echoes From the End Zone.” ~ Lou Holtz
