<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Two days before Christmas 1974, Don James seized the reins of a University of Washington football program in disarray. Immediately, James challenged players to do the hard work necessary to get to the Rose Bowl. Some players laughed, reminding James that Washington hadn't been to the Rose Bowl since 1963. James insisted on his vision. In his third season, Washington advanced to the Rose Bowl and beat the heavily favored Michigan Wolverines. In 18 years at Washington, James' compelling stories in his pregame speeches helped transform the Huskies from mediocrity to national champions. A member of the College Football Hall of Fame and twice named National Coach of the Year, James remains the most successful football coach in Washington and the Pacific-12 Conference history. Now, the inspiring stories and invaluable life lessons James imparted to his players are available to all in The Thursday Speeches.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>'Pete Has Nailed' Essence of Coach James' Speeches All of you who may be intrigued by The Thursday Speeches, having heard 18 years worth of those from Coach James as an assistant at two different universities (at least 200 speeches with bowl games), I can honestly attest to the fact that Pete has nailed these in this book. I appreciate the many great principles and life lessons that he shares from those "Thursday Speeches." I speak to many businesses and organizations around the country about "Winning, Losing and Lessons Learned," and the meat and potatoes comes from all those years of learning from Coach James! - Skip Hall, former head football coach at Boise State University, assistant head coach at University of Washington and University of Missouri, and assistant coach at Colorado and Kent State. 'This Book Is So Don James . . . a Great Coach and Teacher Until His Last Breath' This book is so Don James. He was a great coach and teacher until his last breath and passed his legacy on to every coach and player he touched. His attention to detail and commitment to excellence are here on these pages and continue to inspire those who had the good fortune to work with him, coach with him, play under him, or just be lucky enough to be a fan in his stands on game day. Thank you, Don, we love you! - Rick Redman, Seattle, former Husky All-American linebacker. Joe Steele: Book Reveals Secrets of 'The Master' "Husky football fans will want to read Peter Tormey's book for the behind-the-scenes thinking that went into development of the program from the mid-1970s, to the '80s and early '90s. The Thursday Speeches reveals the 'secret sauce' that DJ used to resuscitate the program and power the Huskies to the National Championship. Aspiring coaches at all levels should read the book to learn from 'The Master' about leadership, commitment to success, organization, teamwork, player discipline, and how to get the most from players' talent." - Joe Steele, former Husky record-breaking tailback.<br>
