This review is from: Baby Steps to Success: 52 Vince Lombardi-Inspired Ways to Make Your Life Successful (Paperback)

In the preface I learned some things I didn't know about Vince Lombardi, Sr., the famous NFL coach, at 34 he was a high school coach, at 46 he was just one assistant coach among many. At 57 he was gone. He left a legacy, however and this book captures some of the wisdom that quickly took him from obscurity to fame.

His son, one of the coauthors, tells us "Success isn't in reading. It's in doing. It's in action." The issue of bouncing back after failure is included in the discussion. We're told it's integral to the process of achieving one's goals. True success is viewed as a lifestyle, not an event. Vince Jr. writes, "Change your belief and you will change your performance." He reminds us that his dad had to wait until he was 47 years old before he became a head coach.

These brief excerpts give just a glipse of the jewels in this wonderful book. Principles from the Bible are used throughout the whole work. Both authors are excellent at what they do. This book should be in the "positive thinking" section of any achiever's library.
