This quarter I have chosen coaching at the highest level, particularly the NFL, as my topic. I will be reading two books about different successful coaches, compare their styles, and learn what it takes to be a coach in the NFL. I chose this topic because I love football, and I believe that one day I could be a coach, depending on how my life goes.
Books:
War Room, by Michael Holley, 346 pages
Quiet Strength, by Tony Dungy, 317 pages.
Win Forever, by Pete Carrol, 250 pages.
My essential questions for this quarter are:
1. What does it take to be a coach in the NFL
2. How does one go about being a coach in the NFL
3. What kind of tole does being a coach take on one and his family?
4. What qualities make coaches Hall of Fame worthy?

It will be neat if you do someday coach and can look back on this reading.
ReplyDeleteI like the multi-media peace. great movie. I would also suggest maybe including a few other movies to go along with it.
ReplyDeletefor the media piece, maybe you could have your favorite movie clip added or the trailer so people could have a visual of what the movie is based off of
ReplyDeleteI think you would be such a great coach! It would be funny to compare how you thought you would become one to how you actually do become one. I think your plan is really nice and organized. I like your movie idea.
