Beyond Winning provides true insight into the lives of some of our greatest coaches, revealing them not simply as masters of their sport, but as champions of wisdom and understanding as well. Gary Walton's selection and portrayal of Vince Lombardi, Woody Hayes, John Wooden, James "Doc" Counsilman, Brutus Hamilton, and Percy Cerutty has legitimized a new term in athletics: the philosopher coach. Here are six of the most successful personalities who made a lasting impact, not only in the world of sports, but also in the fields of teaching, psychology, planning, and organiza tion. Each one would have been at home in the company of the ancient sages and modern day leaders and scholars. Each of the coaches is a study in competitive zeal and dedication. Each one shows a fiery passion for his work and an unflagging commitment to excellence. These men have set a standard in combining relentless force with intellectual integrity. This work affords enjoyable reading with revealing examples and formulas for success. As a fellow coach, I give Beyond Winning the highest possible endorsement.
