It's The Will, Not The Skill

“The will is as, or sometimes more, important than one’s skill. That by preparation, persistence, and an ever-present positive approach to life one can, and will, succeed,” asserts Jim Tunney. In his inspiring new book, It’s the Will, Not the Skill, he clearly proves this point through the true-life success story of NFL Head Coach Herm Edwards.

An Afro-American, who as a boy shined soldiers’ shoes for thirty-five cents a pair, Herm Edwards had gone a long way. From his growing up years in a notorious neighborhood to his days as a student athlete, from playing professional football to becoming the New York Jets’ head coach, Edwards has ceaselessly shown that the path to success is always through one’s will.

A work of valuable insight and encouragement, It’s the Will, Not the Skill is the perfect book for parents, teachers, coaches, and managers who seek to improve the self-confidence and performance of others. Emphasizing the importance of willpower, Tunney has revealed the secret behind success and how you too can achieve it.
