Just in time for Superbowl XLIII, a new book, Winning in the 5th Quarter (published by Morgan James (http://www.morganjames.com)), by Bob Beck, offers up a winning game plan on how anyone can apply football principles to create and build on a personal foundation of excellence. In its first day on Amazon.com the book reached the #1 best-seller slot in Sports.
The hardest part of playing the game of life is that most of the time, you don'st have teammates or a crowd cheering you on, says Beck. That'ss exactly why I'sve written this book - to
give players in the game of life access to the highest levels of planning, practice, discipline and determination to reach their own goal line.
Written for newly-retiring athletes, the book is also practical for armchair quarterbacks, football widows and others who are looking for a fresh approach to tap into their innate
greatness. Revealing behind-the-scenes football plays, Beck shows that the way to win on the game court of life is both a practical and ongoing journey.
A former competitive football player in high school and college, Beck is an entrepreneur who'ss taken companies from start-up to public offerings - using football strategies. It wasn'st
always this way. His most humbling experience was graduating from college, degree in hand, no pro-football prospects - and going on welfare. Today, using the principles behind football
and applying them to life, his experience is varied -- as an executive partner and board member to several firms, international consulting and a father of four.
