Publisher's Summary

What is an elite NFL QB, and what separates that player from the others? One answer is the coach they share. In the recent history of the biggest game on earth, one man is the common thread that connects several of the very best in the sport: Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Andrew Luck, and the resurgent Carson Palmer. That coach is Bruce Arians.

A larger than life visionary who trained under the tutelage of Bear Bryant, Arians has had a major impact on the development and success of each of these players. For proof beyond the stats, go to the sources.

Known around the game as the "quarterback whisperer", Arians has an uncanny ability both to personally connect with his quarterbacks and to locate what the individual triggers are for that player to succeed. No two quarterbacks are the same. And yet with Arians, they always share success. In this book Arians will explain how he does it.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

What the critics say

"Bruce is gonna love you when you need some loving, but he's gonna jump on you when you're not doing right." (Peyton Manning)

"He coaches the way players want to be coached." (Ben Roethlisberger)

"He made players comfortable around him and let everybody have their own personality. He didn't force anybody to be someone they weren't. It may sound a little corny or cheesy, but there's merit to that. I felt comfortable being myself and I felt he had my back." (Andrew Luck)

Repetition Hampers Others Interesting Material

As a lover of football, I dig into as many works as I can regarding it. Most are quite insightful. Arians' work has its moments of joy and interest, to be sure, but they too often come sandwhiched between repeat phrases, concepts and even minor stories. This was perhaps one of the first times I listened to an audio book and found myself saying (on multiple occasions): "Yes, I know, you said that already". And this level of repetition isn't the kind that works well (like a parallel structure, for example).

It is not that I didn't enjoy the book-- I did-- especially from the standpoint that I am looking to glean every bit of insider info I can on the sport. The audio book performance itself is great too. It's just that I think, perhaps, Bruce Arians ought to have waited a little longer to make the work-- perhaps when he had a little more to say.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
