I just finished this book. It wasn't so much an autobiograpy, but a copilation of learning experiences a great man of sports chose to share. Joe Gibbs, pro-football coach and NASCAR owner, talks about football and stock car racing and life. I found the book an easy read. He's very knowledgeable about what he talks about, but uses down to earth language to express his thoughts. For a reader that doesn't understand football all that well, I found the use of his imagery still very understandable.
Joe Gibbs also shares about his faith and how it has fashioned his life. He doesn't preach, but shares from his heart how Jesus has changed his perception on life and relationships. Joe talks about marriage, communication, team building, leadership and finances. He gets his material from the Bible and his life experiences. His role model for leadership is Jesus.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading about his life, and hope that one day I get the chance to meet him... this side of heaven.
