Riassunto

“Make your mistakes full speed.” “Always fall forward.” “There are worse things than dying.”

Todd Gerelds, author of the bestselling book and hit movie Woodlawn, believes the most meaningful life lessons he has learned have been on the playing field. The voice of his coach rings in his head when life gets tough or when his day becomes off-kilter. It just happens that his coach’s voice is also his father’s. His dad was Tandy “The Coach” Gerelds, the subject of Woodlawn and the man who led his team to victory in the racially charged atmosphere of 1970s Alabama. The Coach led his team both on and off the field, always speaking wisdom wherever he went. For him, leading his team wasn’t a responsibility he took lightly. After all, the Coach wasn’t just training these boys to be good football players—he was helping them build the foundation to becoming good men.

In Always Fall Forward, join the Coach’s son, Todd Gerelds, as he reflects on fifty-two of his dad’s most formative “coachisms.” From “Your stance is critical” to “One play at a time,” you, too, will start hearing the strong and encouraging voice of the Coach when life hits you hard. Packed with life application, Always Fall Forward challenges men each week to live the way the Coach lived—grounded in faith and willing to stand up for what he believed—no matter the cost.

You won’t want to forget these lessons—both on and off the field.

From the flap:
The voice of Todd’s dad and coach still echoes in his head:

“You don’t have to be the best; you just need to be your best.”
“Your stance is critical.”
“Leave it all on the field.”

Over the years, Todd has begun to realize that his dad’s lessons from football apply both on and off the field.

With each passing year, he treasures these life lessons even more.

“Avoid negative plays.”
“Keep your feet moving!”
“Don’t be defined by your losses or your wins.”

That’s why he wrote Always Fall Forward. He wants others to have the valuable insights he gained from his coach and dad that made success so much easier.

“Make your mistakes at full speed.”
“Every day is a good day; some are just better than others.”
“There’s worse things than dying.”

You won’t want to miss this treasure chest of wisdom from a coach who was loved and revered by so many.
