Synopsis

As a two-time Super Bowl champion, three-time Pro-Bowler, first-round draft pick, and former Jim Thorpe Award recipient, Malcolm Jenkins knows a thing or two about winning.

Over the course of his thirteen-year NFL career, the now retired defensive back’s triumphs extend beyond that on the football field. As a successful entrepreneur, he has seen the blossoming of his business ventures with an eponymous company, Malcolm Inc., and a media conglomerate called Listen Up Media. As a philanthropist, he strives to make a positive difference in the lives of young people in underserved communities through The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation. And as the father of two daughters, he understands the challenges of loving his children, and preparing them for an often unkind and hostile world. But for every triumph, there is a tragedy, for every loss, a lesson.

In What Winners Won’t Tell You, Jenkins shares the insight he’s gained from winning and losing alike. One moment, Jenkins is riding high from being the only NFL player to have Super Bowl victories against Hall of Fame quarterbacks, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady and then he’s navigating the harrowing low of a divorce from the mother of his children. In another moment he’s advocating for the advances of Black people in America, and then feuding publicly about the direction of this advocacy.

Providing fans and readers alike with an intimate portrayal of life on and off the field, detailed breakdowns of his great moments against the games premiere players, and poignant reflections about what it means to straddle the narrow line between victory and defeat, this “thoughtful memoir” (Kirkus Reviews) is the best kept secret for those who want to know what it takes to be a champion.

Goodreads review by Kris

Malcolm Jenkins is an iconic force to be reckoned with both on and off the field. His memoir provides the in game details that football junkies crave, but doesn’t write like he left it all on the field. For instance, his divorce is spoken about only briefly, and discussions about other players or ho......more

Goodreads review by Ben

I didn’t know much about Malcolm Jenkins before this but I like sports memoirs and wanted to give this one a shot. Jenkins is a defensive player and much of his book involved his thought process during games as a defensive back. I was impressed by how smart and cerebral Jenkins is, especially as he......more

Goodreads review by Sharon

I am an OSU fan, and I really wanted to LOVE this book and this man. Didn't happen. There were sections that I did enjoy. I loved hearing the behind-the-scenes talk of college and pro football. I wanted to understand how that special chemistry is developed on a team that can lead to excellence. All......more

Goodreads review by Nikki

Loved it! Early on when Malcolm mentioned how much he wanted to write a memoir I was fascinated. I mean this guy is a pro football player- and a defensive player at that. I always pictured defense as fierce competitors but not really interested in writing or reading. He shares his life story- altern......more
