About the Author
Joe Theismann is a household name, having built his reputation playing quarterback. A collegiate All-American in football and academics, he graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1971 before embarking on a fifteen-year professional career, twelve with the Washington Redskins in the NFL. An entrepreneur at heart, after a career-ending injury in 1985, Joe leveraged his knowledge and expertise as an elite athlete into two decades as an NFL analyst on ESPN and The Sports Network. His accomplishments include being runner-up for the Heisman Trophy in 1971, earning the NFL's most valuable player (MVP) award in 1983, the year he led his team to a victory in Superbowl XVII, holder of multiple Redskins records- passing yardage (25,206), completions (2,044), and attempts (3,602)-being selected to the Pro Bowl twice, earning the Pro Bowl MVP award once, and being named 1982 NFL Man of the Year for community service and his commitment to the health and welfare of children. In 2003, he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and in 2013 received the Walter Camp Foundation "Distinguished American" Award. All these achievements can be traced back to his infectious positive spirit, which uplifts and improves the lives of those around him.
Reviews
"In football, executing the details is often the difference between winning and losing. Joe identifies the key strategies and work ethic that made him successful over the past several decades to help you become a champion in your own life."
Bill Belichick, Six-time Super Bowl winning head coach
"How to be a Champion Every Day transcends sports and is a playbook that defines a path for athletes and business leaders alike to, both in their personal and professional lives, increase their own success and positively impact their 'teammates.' Joe's thoughts are guided by his vast on and off-the-field experiences and strong character which has kept Joe relevant over 5 decades."
Jonathan Thomas, President and CEO of American Century Investments
"Joe was one of the toughest players I coached. He loved to compete and always met every challenge head on, even when injury cut his career short. How to be a Champion Every Day relates the lessons he learned on the football field and shares his beneficial insight on a number of topics important to our daily lives."
Joe Gibbs, Pro Football Hall of Fame '96
"One of the toughest and most resilient athletes in the history of sports shares his secrets to success. An inspiring and highly personal read to guide you every day on the field, in business, and in life."
Kevin Plank, Founder and Executive Chairman of Under Armour
"While many may have seen Joe's injury as the final act of a great career, those people didn't know Joe. From an undersized high school kid to a true NFL legend, chasing success and seizing opportunity have been the hallmarks of his life and career. We are all lucky enough to get a fifty-yard line view of all that's gone into Joe's winning ways, on and off the field."
