So often, we are told that legacy is measured in terms of material success-winning, acclaim, trophies, wealth, or personal happiness and satisfaction. In "The Legacy of Leadership," however, Coach Tom Osborne discusses how leading with the end in mind is the only way to leave a legacy that truly matters. Through personal stories and teachings, Coach Osborne shares the foundational actions (accountability, priorities, and strategy) and foundational values (values and vision, love, integrity, humility, patience, self-control, and loyalty) that lead to impactful outflow (serving, mentoring, and empowerment) and impactful outcomes (confidence, unity, perseverance, excellence, transformation, and success). "The Legacy of Leadership" also includes topical stories from some of the people that know Coach Osborne best (Trev Alberts, Turner Gill, Frank Solich, Ron Brown and Jim Pillen, e.g.) to highlight how he has lived these principles out as a coach, congressman, athletic director, mentor, family man, and follower of Christ. Most importantly, this book will help you better understand that the true legacy of leadership is not about you. It's about honoring God through your leadership and serving those that you lead. Tom Osborne is a renowned college football coach, respected politician, and accomplished athletic administrator. From 1973 to 1997, he served as head coach at the University of Nebraska, leading the teams to unprecedented success. Under his guidance, the Cornhuskers claimed three national championships and 13 conference titles. Beyond football, Osborne co-founded the non-profit TeamMates Mentoring program with his wife Nancy in 1991. In 2000, he ventured into public service and was elected to the United States House of Representatives. Osborne also served as Nebraska's Athletic Director from 2007 to 2013. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1999.

There was no experience like playing football for Frosty Westering. For anyone unsure of that bold claim, read the words of his former players to understand just how unique and life-changing this legendary coach was. "I Played For Frosty" contains inspiring stories about how Frosty personally impacted his players and everyone who was a part of every football program he led throughout his illustrious career. This book also includes hundreds of historical photos that capture Frosty's impact that started in Iowa and ended at Pacific Lutheran University, where national championships were simply a byproduct of the coaching style and leadership philosophy far ahead of its time.

Throughout the New Testament gospels, some of Jesus' most effective teachings were presented through the vehicle of parables--fictional stories that utilized relevant scenarios based on the current day and age. In Sports Parables, Coach Ron Brown shares powerful modern-day analogies to help athletes, coaches, parents, and ministers deliver biblical truths from the practice field to the pulpit. Topics include fear, motivation, focus, unity, salvation, discipleship, evangelism, determination, deception, and spiritual hunger.

With more than 60 million athletes involved in sports in America, it is estimated that one coach will impact more people in one year than the average person does in a lifetime. Today's coach could be one of the greatest authoritative figures in the life of today's adolescent. So the question isn't whether coaches leave a legacy, but rather, what will that legacy be? Current trending research shows that only 15% of coaches are intentional about coaching beyond the skills and strategies of the game (1st Dimension). A 3-Dimensional Coach understands and harnesses the power of the coaching platform to coach the mind (2nd Dimension) and transform the heart (3rd Dimension). They can be the catalysts for internal transformation that guides both the coach and the athlete on a spiritual journey to finding purpose in our performance-based culture. Now that's a legacy! In 3D Coach, National Coaches Training Director Jeff Duke shares his own journey through the three dimensions of coaching and how it has impacted his life and those around him. He also shares the personal stories of coaches from all levels who have implemented the 3D concept into their own programs and who have pointed to Jesus Christ, the Master Coach, as the ultimate example of how to lead athletes to true significance.

After 55 years of operating a racetrack in the beautiful Colorado foothills, one can only imagine the stories that need to be told. That is why this book was written, to capture some of the history of the Bandimere Family. Living It Loud is about faith, family and the pursuit of speed. But it is even bigger than that. It is about a man who had a vision for impacting the lives of young people through car performance and racing and how his children and grandchildren have carried his dream to greater heights than he could have ever imagined. This inspirational history lesson will challenge you to revisit biblically sound characteristics such as passion, boldness, trust, integrity, kindness, focus, determination, forgiveness, courage, endurance, loyalty, patience and selflessness. But most importantly, it will serve as a reminder that, just like the Bandimere family, there is a divine purpose for your life as well.
