Wins, Losses, and Lessons: An Autobiography Book

With a strong overtone of moral teaching, college football legend Lou Holtz offers a prosaic but enduring memoir in this Wins, Losses and Lessons book. It's clear from the beginning that Holtz sees coaching as an opportunity to mold promising student-athletes into superlative young men: "Coaching gives one a chance to be successful as well as significant." His stories of assistant and then head coaching at institutions from Ohio State to North Carolina State, as well as run-ins with big names like Bill Cowher and Bill Clinton, are full of funny anecdotes and neat little lessons. A standout is Holtz's long-term position at Notre Dame, of special importance not just because of his devout Catholicism but also his refreshing devotion to strict academic standards for the players. In fact, what stands out is his modesty and adamant belief that football is ultimately less important than education. Lou Holtz has hand signed his amazing memoir on the inside front cover page and a Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included.Officially licensed NCAA productRead More
