I am amazed with how much this book contains. I have purchased over a dozen football coaching books simply to find all of them updated and summarized in this masterpiece. I could go on forever with many more compliments but you get the idea.

Coaching Football Successfully is the most informing book on how to coach football I have ever read. This book focuses on not only the x's and o's of football, but also on how to build strong character for a football team. My team went from a 2-8 record to 7-3 in one year and I owe it all to Bob Reade. He has gained much respect from myself and my assistants from his views illustrated in his book.
