1 online resource (xii, 307 pages, 16 unnumbered leaves of plates) :, \"Baylor head coach Art Briles is one of the most highly regarded coaches in college football, and this biography delves far beyond his football success and acumen. It explains how, at the age of 20, Briles lost his parents in a tragic car accident as they were en route to one of his college games. The book relates how Briles, devastated by the loss of his role models, used the catastrophe as motivation to propel him toward the destination of his dreams. As the book elucidates in detail, Coach Briles has made a career of turning failing football programs around in both the high school and collegiate ranks. His latest accomplishments at Baylor University are also chronicled in this account of overcoming tragedy and turning personal loss into overwhelming success.\"--Amazon, Print version record, Front Cover; Title Page; Half Title; Copyright; Contents; Foreword by Robert Griffin III; Introduction by Art Briles; Prologue; 1.
