Job disappointment, relationship struggles, and quiet feelings of disillusionment all signal that something is not quite right. Life only makes sense when you realize that all of the situations, locations, and relationships of your life were not designed to be a final resting place for your hopes and dreams, but tools of preparation for a destination to come. Living without eternity puts pressure on the here and now to be what it cannot be and to deliver what it cannot deliver.
She was just a university teacher who had no power or authority to do as he pleased, but never in her wildest dreams would she imagine that the husband her mother had chosen for her would be unable to speak humanly. The wedding night was over, how could he return the goods? In any case, her interest in sex isn't particularly strong! Copy in the library:. Reviews see all peekay While it was good to gain insight into Pete Carroll's methods, he should really stick to coaching.
Coach Pete is right: comPETing lasts longer than winning. Great read through and through. The Italians. Leaders need to cultivate the strengths that are special to each member of the team — as an individual.
Leaders are teachers, and in order to teach, you have to know your student — which requires listening and observing. Spend time outside the business functions with members of the team to use that time to observe them in other than the business circumstances for a better overall understanding of the person. Remember the importance of humor and balance in work and in life. Reading the book feels very much like what I expect it would be like to hear him talk over a beer at the bar, or walking the field at the Virginia Mason Athletic Facility — if I could keep up, that is!
It was also fun to tie back the things you hear from his players in interviews to the philosophical background he lays out. One of the insights he related that made the book particularly meaningful to me was that he had underestimated how hard it was to implement change in an established organization, referring to trying to bring his approach to coaching to the New England Patriots. Carroll got fired after three years. It gave him a chance to reassess and regroup, and it was then that he realized he needed to define his philosophy.
In a way, I envy Coach Carroll — I spent over half of my career in a very traditional organization that practiced and espoused management theory that dated back to the s. I tried for most of my time in the organization to introduce new ideas about teamwork, shared accountability, the need to support the staff instead of just thinking of them as interchangeable cogs in the big wheel of business.
I had some periods of success interspersed with periods of hostility from senior leadership, but I was successful enough to be able to work on fun and interesting projects with great teams right up until the end.
Before I left, I had started to question — if I was so smart and if there was any substance to the approach I brought to leadership and teamwork, why was I ultimately unsuccessful in this organization? I was just too stubborn to get the message and leave on my own. Dale Stonehouse. Since Carroll would certainly include his experience coaching with Bud Grant for the Minnesota Vikings, this was worth reading for that alone.
Otherwise it is the usual here's how I did it football book. One unexpected anecdote concerned Carroll's recommendation of a psychic he knew to a friend. Who woulda thunk? Good presentation of a very deep topic. Self challenge is always difficult no matter the endeavor. Ben Nourai. I enjoyed this book because I got to read about the life of a coach in the NFL.
It was interesting to read about Pete Carrol's life because he has switched between many coaching positions through out his years of being in the NFL. Furthermore, his strategies to create a successful team was very intriguing to me with my experience of being an athlete.
All in all, Pete Carrol did a great job describing his life while still keeping the book interesting. This was a nice book. It's written like a coach speaks, so expect a lot of repetition of key ideas. And, not being a diehard USC or Seattle fan, I end up skimming some of the nitty-gritty stories of individual games. But i think that Coach Carroll does a good job of explaining how he got to where he is, and why he developed the philosophy that he has.
Living through a traditional Texas football program, I wish I would have had a coach as thoughtful as Coach Carroll. You may be a little bit tired of the word compete by the time you finish though.
Here are a few of my favorite quotes. Your goal should be to maximize your potential and your performance as a permanent way of being, rather than just thinking in terms of individual victories. Furthermore, one of the most important facets of the Win Forever approach is to help people see what they can become and then to support them.
We want to help our players, both at USC and now in Seattle, make the connection with their potential until it becomes real for them. I enjoyed this book, it's a relatively short and easy read, but it also didn't have quite as much meaty content or specific advice as I'd expected. I didn't know a lot about specific Carroll, other than that he successfully coached USC and the Seattle Seahawks and that he is known as a very positive happy kind of guy.
