I highly recommend this book for any football fan or football coach. Let me explain.
After adding another book to my football coaching library I can honestly say this provides great insight into the mind of the legend Bill Belichick. While I didn't expect much when I first bought this book as a gift, when I started to read through the question and answer sessions, I was so impressed that I bought another book for my assistant and kept one for myself.
My favorite parts were understanding his decision making process and how he reads each situation. As a coach, we face many different situations and the ability to be a clear headed decision maker is invaluable. This book helps reduce the clutter in decision making and I think this is the most valuable part of the book for any coach.
Some of the parts of the book were a little too in depth for the average football fan, but those parts were limited. Belichick does a deep dive into some topics, so those parts may need to be read twice to break down into what he really means.
Another part that I enjoyed, but some may not is Bill Belichick's sense of humor. I laughed at some of his responses because I can him deadpan a response to a question that he didn't want to answer or felt was an irrelevant topic. His response to what he would say to the young football player Bill Belichick is funny and typical of his response to personal questions.
Overall, I highly recommend this book to football coaches of any level and especially for those New England Patriots fans! Thanks!
It would feel terrible to write a bad review about a Bill Belichick book, but this is not a Bill Belichick book! Don't believe the title! The while book is a series of questions and answers, and I'm pretty sure the author (if you can call him that) simply took the transcriptions of years of Bill Belichick press conferences, chose which ones he liked, and stuffed them into a book! I gave it two stars only because there were some good things Bill said, but as a book, it's an absolute joke!
