Above the Line: Lessons in Leadership and Life from a Championship Program

I really liked this book! The stories of what worked and what didn’t work for Urban and the team was great to read. I found great insight to add to my coaching and training of high school kids. I coach track and field but a lot of the principals in this book have transitioned for me to help kids and be a better leader and coach!

This book opens your mind and if you do some real self evaluation, it can transform your life, team, or business. Tim kight does the focus 3 program, and this book explains how that program, if implemented properly can transform your teams. I use it for the military and it has no doubt made a difference. Very few of us study and master leadership and culture and this book helps you better understand it.

Excellent story about his storybook season to the National Championship in Football at Ohio State. Many good ideas that work in many fields discussing how they methodically and conscientiously went about building a total team effort that eventually paid off. The last part of the book is pictorial about Urbans family, highs, and people that have made a difference in his life. I thought it was funny that Dabo Swinney from Clemson said he had it but hadn't finished it before the 2017 playoff against Ohio State. Clemson obviously won the ballgame and the National Championship. It was painful to watch Clemson destroy Ohio State this Year. There's always next year and I predict that both of these teams will be in the spotlight in 2018.

Really enjoyed reading inside OSU lines. Appreciate the brokenness conveyed by Coach Meyer in the book when a Coach based on performance. This is a great resource for Coaches looking to build a transformational culture. Great respect post read for Coach Meyer, his coaching philosophy and willingness to talk about his faith. Must read for Coaches and ADs

I love coaches books. They are living on the edge of societal changes. In this book Urban Meyer is transparent and honest. It is extremely well written and easy to read. He weaves in his entire career but not in an overbearing way. His life, coaching and leadership lessons are well worth the price of the book. Some people live thirty years one year at a time. Others live 30 years investing year 1 into year 2 and so on. Urban Meyer learned his lessons along the way and share them, pain and all. One of the best leadership books I've read, and I've read a lot.

Must read for any Coach, business leader or human being. I have been reading coaching and leadership books for over 10 years and this is # 1 by far.

I know there are people who hate Urban Meyer, especially Florida fans, but since I'm an OSU fan, I love him! That's football. This book is a great leadership guide. Like any leadership book, it has ideas that some people will like and others won't. And some will work for you, and others won't. I don't have a big company, so the best part was for me was E+R=O. That alone is worth the price of admission. And obviously, as a Buckeye fan, I enjoyed the team/game stories. I have it to one of my people to read, and he loved it (he's a UGA fan). In fact it underlined and highlighted my book. So he is buying me a new one.

Good book. Arrived early

Nice book, very interesting for persons that are sport Coach like me for creaing a deep colture of sacrifice and unselfish.

Really enjoyed this book, although he’s talking about how he leads a football team so many of his lessons are applicable to everyday life. Really makes one think seriously about what is achievable if you only seriously put in the effort to make the changes required.

Well written, insightful and entertaining. Worth the read

Excellent read

Superb insight into College Ball
