Ten Men You Meet in the Huddle: Lessons from a Football Life, Revised

No sport rivals football for building character. In the scorching heat of two-a-days and the fierce combat of the gridiron, true leaders are born. Just ask Bill Curry, whose credentials for exploring the relationship between football and leadership include two Super Bowl rings and the distinction of having snapped footballs to Bart Starr and Johnny Unitas. Curry shares the wit, wisdom, and tough love of teammates and coaches who turned him from a next-to-last NFL draft pick into a two-time Pro Bowler. Learning from such giants as Vince Lombardi, Don Shula, Ray Nitschke, Bubba Smith, and Bobby Dodd, Curry led a football life of nonstop exploration packed with adventure and surprise. As our country has grown more and more divided in the last decade, the sport of football has taken on added significance as a builder of constructive relationships between people from varied environments. Curry proves that football is much more than a game. It is indeed a metaphor for life.
