As far back as he can remember, New York Jets head coach Herm Edwards has kept a notebook of ideas and observations he refers to as Life Lessons. Whether they are philosophies gleaned from his closest friends or snippets of knowledge taken from people he’s never met, these carefully-chosen lessons provide Edwards with a consistent and dependable source of knowledge and insight on how to shoot for and reach the highest levels of achievement. His Life Lessons have served him well.

You Play to Win the Game combines these lessons with coach Edwards’ personal experiences on and off the field. Edwards presents each lesson, then relates how the lesson has helped him to address difficulties and conquer adversities that stand between him and his goals. He also discusses how he has used the lessons to help fellow coaches, players, family, and friends reach their own goals.

The result is a compelling guide to achievement in any field, whether you are starting from scratch or wondering how to take that all-important next step. Featured Life Lessons include:

Make the will stronger than the skills
Don’t waste energy on the unknowns
When you see opportunity, seize it
Understand that winning matters
