This is not a book about football. It's about the game. And the game within the game. It's about the unavoidable teacher of adversity in any and every game you play. Cases in point:

​

• YOU'LL BE BEATEN by those better than you. But go up against the best even if you don't stand a chance. Without knowing it, they're teaching you their secrets of how they do what they do so you'll know what changes to make to compete.
   

• THE WILL TO PREPARE is your edge over your competitors. It's your will to do whatever it takes that scares them. It's your will they're trying to take away from you so they can beat you.
   

• LEARN HOW TO FAIL! The professional rodeo bull rider can show you how to ride a bull. But you have to learn how to stay on the bull. You learn how to stay on the bull by getting thrown off the bull.
