Carroll has risen to be one of the most successful coaches in the NFL today. Before his rise at Seattle, he turned the USC Trojans into a legacy of champions and he did this by perfecting his Win Forever Philosophy.
Built on the premise of competition, its underlying message is to always do things better than they have ever been done before.
Not an easy message to send to elite level college athletes and highly priced NFL players but Carroll has managed to consistently convert his players into competition-hungry machines who are highly focused on up'ing their mental games.
We now see why Carroll's teams are always in the hunt and always in the game.

I listened to the audiobook so I could hear Pete read it himself. I learned a ton about Pete that I'd never known before, and I loved hearing him describe the trajectory of his career. Highly recommended for any Seahawks fan who wants the backstory on Pete!

I kind of hate self-help/leadership books, but read this to vet it as a book club book for our local juvenile jail's book club, and I think this is basically exactly what we're looking for. It's not a difficult read (and tbh I suspect a lot of the prose's readability comes from Carroll's co-author, Yogi Roth), but that actually makes it great for teenagers. And it offers a coherent, followable plan for getting good at things: develop a philosophy, articulate it to yourself and others, practice for the high level of performance you want to achieve during the real deal, visualize the win, always show up confident. The sprinkling of anecdotes about some seriously dramatic football games is the sugar on top.
