Given the tough sanctions recently imposed on the USC football program for rules violations in 2004-05, when Carroll was the program's highly successful head coach, it's understandable if fans consider this book as much about damage control for Carroll, now the new head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, as a primer on how to win forever. Such as it is, Carroll and Roth's book explains how, through decades of coaching in the college and pro ranks, he developed his successful philosophy of winning, which, in a nutshell, is Do things better than they have ever been done before. Readers might well find inspiration in Carroll's coherent philosophy, along with fresh ideas on bringing out the best in players. They might also find Carroll's credibility hard to square with the NCAA's penalties.--Moores, Alan Copyright 2010 Booklist

Seattle Seahawks football coach Carroll (www.petecarroll.com) and on-air sports analyst/host Roth present Carroll's "Win Forever" philosophy (among the tenets: always compete), drawing on his own experiences playing and coaching the game, lessons he's learned from coaching legends such as Lou Tice and Tim Gallwey, and the soul searching that followed some significant professional failures in his adult life. As Carroll says, his job is to "create situations where players develop the confidence to set their talents free and pursue their potential to its full extent." No rest needed between discs, as Carroll's narration is no-nonsense and accessible. For leaders interested in the linkage between business improvement and sporting success.-M.
