by Bobby Bowden
First published 2004
Bobby Bowden opens up about his decades coaching the Florida State Seminoles in this collection of personal stories from the sideline. The legendary coach reveals his philosophy through anecdotes and reflections on his career. Bowden admits he enjoys telling stories as he gets older, but he makes clear he's not ready to retire to a rocking chair just yet. He compares himself to someone who would rather play golf than watch the Masters. Bowden wants to keep coaching rather than become a spectator. His competitive drive still burns strong after years of building one of college football's most successful programs. The book captures Bowden's voice as he reflects on the games, players, and moments that defined his time leading the Seminoles. Readers get an inside look at how one of college football's most respected coaches thinks about the game and his legacy.
