Great Book about Patriots Championship.

An insiders look at the goings and comings and issues surrounding the best team in sports.

A fantastic look inside the world of the NFL

Even if you are not a fan of the New England Patriots, this book has a lot to offer. I am biased, being a season ticket holder and fan, but if you are looking to find out about being a coach in the NFL, this is the book for you. Pepper Johnson has been there as a player and as a coach, and he fills the pages of this book with stories from both his playing career and his time as a coach with the Patriots. Obviously this book focuses on the incredible run to the Super Bowl that that Patriots made in 2001, but more than that it talks about the inner workings of a team, motivation, and the importance of teamwork. Teamwork was the key to the Super Bowl victory and by reading this book, you can see that it was much more important than some might have thought. This Patriots team had to overcome many obstacles during the season to win it all, and this book describes how the team came together and won as a unit.Pepper Johnson also describes the rigors of being a coach in the NFL, the long hours (5am to midnight or longer) and hours of watching game tape. If you have ever wondered what NFL coaches do to game plan, you can find out right here. Pepper also talks about the importance of the scout team, something that I think many people over look.All in all this is a great football book, not only for Patriot fans, but for all football fans.

Get a behind the scenes look at the world of football

Pepper Johnson does a great job of letting you see the makings of a Superbowl champ as well as giving you a look at what really goes on Monday-Saturday in preparation for Sunday. You also get an interesting feel on the difference between what it took to win his first Superbowl rings as a player (1986 and 1990) and this Superbowl ring as a coach in (2001)......This is a must read for any sports fan.

A MUST READ FOR ALL FOOTBALL FANS

Owning a hotel and sports pub a 1/2 mile from the patriots stadium , I thought I knew all about the game.. Pepper johnson`s account of the Patriots Superbowl season taught me more about the games behind the scenes stratigies, theories and work ethics . The endless hours of films , meetings , practice and planning that are a daily part of a coaches life. And ofcourse the players... Pepper johnson played the game with intensity , pride and spirit, when he wrote this book he did the same.... Jim Meade Owner End Zone Motel and Sports Pub
