It`s The Will, Not The Skill

"The will is as, or sometimes more, important than one`s skill. That by preparation, persistence, and an ever-present positive approach to life one can, and will, succeed," asserts Jim Tunney. In this inspiring new book Tunney clearly proves this point through the true-life success story of NFL Head Coach Herm Edwards.

An Afro-American, who as a boy shined soldiers` shoes for thirty-five cents a pair, Herm Edwards had gone a long way. From his growing up years in a notorious neighborhood to his days as a student athlete, from playing professional football to becoming the New York Jets` head coach, Edwards has ceaselessly shown that the path to success is always through one`s will.

A work of valuable insight and encouragement, It`s the Will, Not the Skill is the perfect book for parents, teachers, coaches, and managers who seek to improve the self-confidence and performance of others. Emphasizing the importance of willpower, Tunney has revealed the secret behind success and how you too can achieve it.
