There are very few coaches held higher esteem than Bo Schembechler. As coach of the University of Michigan football team, he won 13 Big Ten titles and finished as the winningest coach in their storied history. But beyond the wins and losses, Bo is best remembered for the remarkable impact he had on his players and fans alike.
In Bo's Lasting Lessons, the coach draws on his years of experience, using first-person anecdotes to deliver timeless lessons on leadership, motivation and responsibility. His distinctive gruff voice leaps from the page.
With pithy language, Bo explains that true leadership requires the compassion to actively listen to your people, and then to have the courage to do what is right every time.
A big believer in peer pressure and in always making his players accountable for their actions, Schembechler has coached athletes who went on to become professional football players, doctors, lawyers and CEOs.

I was at law school when Bo coached at Michigan. I knew some of the players and they all echoed "Boism's" all the time. No wonder Michigan was a team you didn't want to play. They were schooled by the best. "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions" was Bo's mantra, promise and way to motivate a team to win.
This book should be on everyone’s bookshelf and read thoroughly and implemented. What a fantastic work and labor of love.
This is from a Woody Hayes fan. I loved the book...you could hear Bo`s growling voice as you read through it. Great insight into a great man`s thinking about how you treat people and get things done...he was also a coach for the ages.The world is a smaller place without him.
Great book on leadership and life’s lessons. Everyone who leads any organization should read it. Especially in the feel good society we live in today. Not ever decision a leader makes is going to be popular but it is about doing what is right and wrong. True to the points he made in the book
If you're a Michigan fan, you're going to love this book. If you're a college fan in general, you'll at least like it- but might love it. Dang, even an Ohio State fan might appreciate this book.This book has football situations as a reference of course, but it's not really a football book.
