Books I’m Reading this Summer

Beyond the Final Score

By Tom Osborne

Amazing book by the prolific Nebraska coach and congressman, Tom Osborne. It chronicles his life after retiring as the head football coach of the University of Nebraska. After ending his stellar career of 25 years, including 25 straight bowl games, never less than 9 wins in a season, and 3 national championships, Osborne became a U.S. Congressman and eventually returned as the University’s Athletic Director.

Great stories sprinkled with superb leadership insights.

I think one of my favorite quotes from the book was:

“I can continue to serve the outcomes I desire or choose to serve the people I am called to lead.”
