Coach Bryant's Legacy is Enhanced by This Book
3 Aug 2005
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Originally published as "Building a Championship Football Team" in 1960 by Coach Paul W. Bryant, "Bear Bryant on Winning Football" is an updated revision by Coach Gene Stallings, no slouch, either, when it comes to building championship teams.
In "Winning Football," Coach Bryant gives his reasoning and philosophy for practically everything he did when organizing his football teams. The book reads easy, as if he had dictated it staight to his secretary because it has a tendency to echo the way he delivered his commentary on football seasons recap films, with regressions to points he meant to stress or a momentary attention deficit regression.
A master at organization, he knew how to develop players, and coaches, too, as evidenced by this short quote, "I do not think it is advisable for a head coach to do group work with one of his assistants. If an assistant is directing a group and the head man comes over to help out, he takes the lead away from the assistant. As a result the assistant coach is likely to lose his initiative--the very trait you want him to develop."
In reading this book, I developed a greater understanding of what it takes to be fully committed to achieving the best. Full of "X's" and "O's," it probably isn't for anyone except the die-hard football fan or coach who wants to take their program and life to the next level.
In closing, let me say this, if you can find a copy of this book, buy it. After reading it, you won't regret whatever you paid for it.
