Summary of Nick Winkelman's The Language of Coaching

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The NFL Scouting Combine is a yearly event that takes place in Indianapolis, Indiana, two months before the NFL Draft. Over the course of three grueling days, an average of 330 of the country’s top prospects are invited to complete an extensive battery of physical and mental tests.

#2 I had the privilege of working with the coaching elite’s of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Luke Richesson, Darryl Eto, and Joe Gomes. I saw the immense responsibility each of them had, and how they tirelessly worked to improve the program year after year.

#3 I was a chronic over-communicator, which led to me providing my athletes with so much information that they would not be able to remember it all. I was also unaware of what my athletes were focusing on.

#4 The NFL Combine is a testing ground for athletes, who must endure two days of intensive interviews and medical assessments. From drug testing at daybreak to meetings at midnight, athletes have their character tested, knowledge assessed, and health screened.
