Championship (Hardcover)
by Mack Brown, Bill Little
Editorial Reviews
Salvador SeBasco, Literary Director and host of Inside View broadcast, book critic,
on staff with a CNN affiliate
". . . this book is uplifting and will help teach leaders how to be at their
best!"
Book Description Mack Brown: One Heartbeat II chronicles some of the life and times of Mack Brown in
his journey from Cookeville, Tennessee—where as a child he rode the team bus with the
high school football teams his grandfather coached—to Austin, Texas, where today he
is head football coach of The University of Texas Longhorns.
Poignantly crafted with award-winning writer Bill Little, Mack Brown: One Heartbeat
II is an anthology of pieces from the heart; thoughts and stories from Brown, who, in
following his dream of coaching, has built winning football programs everywhere he’s
coached.
Brown’s commitment to "win championships with nice kids who graduate" is
woven throughout the book and the reader is shown clearly why this commitment is important
to Brown and how he accomplishes this goal. Each chapter opens with a photograph depicting
a person or an experience that has helped shape Mack Brown’s life, values, and
philosophy.
As Darrell Royal, University of Texas football coaching legend, writes in the foreword,
". . . parts of the book are touching and . . . parts . . . have just common-sense
advice for anybody. This book is for the young and the old, the teacher and the high
school coach, the mom and the dad, the players who’ve made it on the field and those
who want to."
This book is not only for football fans. Successful businessman Red McCombs who is the
owner of the Minnesota Vikings, writes in the preface that ". . . every chapter
contains principles . . . as significant to the executive as it is to the young
coach."
Mack Brown’s personal guide to successful coaching entitled "Developing a Top
Ten Program" is included as an appendix in concise outline form and will prove to be
an invaluable tool to new coaches and veteran coaches alike.
Mack Brown was recently named American Football Coaches Association Regional Coach of
the Year for 2005.

I'll Do It Tomorrow: How to Stop Putting It Off and Get It Done Today
by Jerry Newcombe, Kirsti Newcombe, Johnny Hart (Illustrator)
Zig Ziglar and D. James Kennedy recommend the book. I'LL DO IT TOMORROW features more than
80 cartoons from Johnny Hart's B.C. comic strip. Master
motivator Zig Ziglar says of I'LL DO IT TOMORROW: "A down-to-earth, easy-to-read,
practicul but humorous approach to getting into action and staying there until you reach
your objective. Good stuff."
Dr. D. James Kennedy (with whom Jerry Newcombe has co-written 4 books, including
the best-seller, WHAT IF JESUS HAD NEVER BEEN BORN?) says: "Though we usually joke
about it, psychologists tell us that procrastination can be a very harmful addiction with
disastrous consequences. A welcome help to overcome this problem is I'LL DO IT TOMORROW by
Jerry and Kirsti Newcombe. I recommend it."

How to Make Luck: The Seven Secrets Lucky People Use to Succeed
by Marc Myers
Author Marc Myers, also the executive editor of "Bottom Line/Personal" and
editor-in-chief of "Moneysworth," takes his unique talent, resources, and
investigative and research skills to the subjects of luck and success and tells readers
how they can make them work in their lives.
If you want to be lucky, throw away that lottery ticket. How to Make Luck by
Marc Myers lets you in on seven secrets of successful and lucky people, from former
Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee and the Today Show's Matt Lauer to money manager James
O'Shaughnessy and poker champion Barbara Enright. Myers believes that people make their
own luck. "The people we think of as lucky behave in ways that are so special and
seductive that nearly everyone they meet feels compelled to offer them great
opportunities. And it is this wealth of opportunities that allows them to continuously
improve their good luck," he writes. Luck, advises Myers, means mastering one or two
of these lucky behaviors: Make life look easy, but don't rub it in; make yourself
appealing; be as curious as a child; improve the lives of other people; let power brokers
own a piece of
you; don't burn your bridges. The book includes chapters on each of these secrets as well
as interviews with successful people and tips for limiting bad luck. Myers is a fortunate
person himself, having risen quickly at the New York Times, Adweek
and elsewhere. He is now editor of two national consumer newsletters, Bottom
Line/Personal and Moneysworth. The book could be a
lucky charm for anyone looking to get ahead, in business and in life.
