Dad's Playbook isn't just for Dads. It is a "must read" for all managers, especially those that manage in a blue-collar environment. All too often it is the lack of "positive coaching" that causes disdain and diminished productivity in our workforce. I am an HR Manager, raised by a father that mentored and motivated me all of my life......I don't get football (and don't really care to) but I get Tom Limbert's message. Tom, I hope that you sell millions of books and that every person that buys or receives Dad's Playbook, reads it and learns from it. Surely, the world would be a better place.
Bought this thinking it would be more substantial than it was. It turned out to just be a picture book with small quotes on one page and a picture of the coach on the other.
I can't really comment on the content of the book because it was a gift and I did not read it personally, but I gave this to my husband as part of a "First Time" Father's Day gift as we are expecting our first child in August. He loves sports and is excited about her arrival, so this seemed to be a perfect fit for both areas. He was genuinely surprised and excited with the book once he realized what it's contents were. I think it was a perfect gift for a new dad or expecting dad and can't wait to hear his thoughts once he's had the opportunity to read it!
I bought this as a baby shower gift for a member of my staff who LOVES sports. This book is really cool because these are all quotes from some of the most successful coaches from the NFL, NBA, NHL, etc. All of the quotes about leading a team are just as powerful when used to describe the leadership skills and strategies needed to be a loving, balanced parent. My employee loved this book and even his wife (who is also a huge football fan) really enjoyed it, too.
Not just for dads! Awesome quotes of wisdom, teamwork, motivation & practicality found in this book. Also, you don't have to be a sports lover to enjoy this book. The quotes are NOT cheesy sport slogans. Highly recommend.
I saw this at a friend's house and flipped through it a little. Right away I was smiling along with the cool quotes. Went straight to to get a copy for my house. Once I saw the price on this thing, I went ahead and bought copies for all the dad's on my block just to pass out at the next birthday gathering or whatever. It's cool how the chapters are set up, the pictures are sweet, and the quotes are right on. People coming over to my house are always picking it up and leafing through it and smiling. Highest recommendation!
This is a must have for any father that loves sports...which is about 90% of them!! Its such an easy read since you can just browse the pages and quotes. Inspiring advice from very well known people in the sports industry.
I gave this book as a gift to a fellow coach (as my coaching mentor did for me). This is a great book with a lot of insight into both running your own family and running your sports team. Great coaches make great parents!
