Product Description
Powerful and positive leadership lessons from one of today's most admired coaches "You Play to Win the Game" is the rallying cry of the comeback New York Jets and their visionary coach, Herman Edwards. Affectionately known as the Energizer Bunny of the NFL, Coach Herm is a perpetual motion machine, a breath of fresh air who used his boundless energy and talent for combining hard work with good fun to guide his team to back-to-back play-off appearances in the 2001 and 2002 seasons. Now, in this leadership playbook, Edwards shares with you the wisdom and insight he counts on to motivate and sustain himself, his team, and the thousands he has inspired. In writing this book, Edwards turned to his personal bible--a favorite black notebook filled with life lessons he has collected over the years from the people he has admired and respected the most. Here, with his signature one-of-a-kind style, he distills these philosophies and beliefs into wise and witty "Winning Points." Each point: - Includes an anecdotal history of how Edwards came to develop that lesson
- Shares the wisdom of Edwards's teachers--from top NFL coaches to philosophical locker-room janitors
- Reveals insider details from Edwards's seasons with the Jets and other NFL teams
- Provides an unprecedented look into the inner workings of football's top motivational coach
- Shows you how you can chart your own path to success--in business and in life

 New Favorite Book! July 25, 2006
This book deserves a lot more credit than it is recieving here. Yes, Edwards does speak a lot about periods of success from his lifetime, but I do not believe for one moment that he is doing it with any attention to boast his successes. As great a coach as he has been he does deserve some credit. Still, the book is about finding success, yes, winning. He lays out an excellent "map" to building success in life that is applicable to any situation, and he does it through the periods of a football game (before, 1st quarter, etc.). I was simply reading this for fun and ended up taking notes and quotes down throughout the whole book. This is a great help for anyone looking to improve who they are as an individual and in the direction of building success!
 This book is mistitled. January 9, 2006

As an avid jets fan I would recommend that Herm read his own book. Some better titles for this book would have been:
- You play to win the game but I play not to lose it.
(I guess that is a little long winded)
- Why play to win the game when losing 75% of the time can get you a new 4 year contract?
- You play to RENEGOTIATE!
- Just give me the damn contract

So far, so good. I had read that this was a "self-promoting" book by Herm Edwards. I guess I'm not sure how one can write a book about life experience they've gained without talking about ones self. I think he has insight on people skills and how to influence people. I saw a reference to John Maxwell, a leading leadership skills teacher, in his book. That tells me he's also a student of leadership skills. In my opinion, leadership can be learned, but it comes more naturally to some than others. Herm Edwards seems to be a natural...buy the book if your at all curious.
 Perfect gift for any Jets fan August 2, 2005

J-E-T-S, JETS! JETS! JETS! If you hear that constantly around your home, this might be the gift for that person. Can't say that I have read more than the first couple of pages, however, the Jets fan who got it said it was on his must read list and I haven't heard any complaints.
Terrific Book....Best Read in a long time. April 22, 2005
