Some of the key highlights are:

• How he describes mental toughness as the ability to execute a simple task regardless of circumstance. And the way he strctures the teams culture around effort, attitude toughness to help re-enforce this.
• The story he tells about starting up the team from scratch and taking it to be the most successful 5 year startup program in college football history.
• How the number one thing the great coaches have is the leadership ability to take a group of people from different places and backgrounds and get them to buy in to a common goal and vision.
