Synopsis

The instant New York Times bestseller

Remarkable lessons in leadership and team building from one of the greatest football coaches of our time.

Urban Meyer has established himself as one of the elite in the annals of his sport, having lead his players to three national championships. In Above the Line, he offers readers his unparalleled insights into leadership, team building, and the keys to empowering people to achieve things they might never have thought possible. Meyer shares his groundbreaking game plan—the game plan followed every day in the Ohio State Buckeyes’ championship season—for creating a culture of success built on trust and a commitment to a common purpose. Packed with real life examples from Meyer’s storied career, Above the Line delivers wisdom and inspiration for taking control and turning setbacks into victories for a team, a family, or a Fortune 500 company.

I am one of the biggest Ohio State football fans you will meet but that is not why I read this book. In the Air Force there is an emphasis on the whole airmen concept.
