A while back, I'd read a thread in this forum regarding how the co-author of Bill Walsh's Finding the Winning Edge would bring extra copies of the book to Glazier clinics, and sell them for ~$100. I was wondering if anyone has his contact info, as I'd like to buy a copy. I've looked high and low online, and the best price I've ever found is ~$300. If anyone knows of a way to get in touch w/ him, I'd greatly appreciate you letting me know. Thank you.

someone scanned it and made it available here via pdf. I don't know if this is a book that is a must-have in your library. There is a lot of good information in it, but mostly because it just illustrates what good analytical organization does for football. It is a reach to apply more than 50% to a HS program.

Agreed 100%. I think it gets a little overrated by coaches. Definitely has some great stuff, but also a ton of stuff that has zero application to high school football. If you want the good stuff from Walsh check out The Score Takes Care of Itself, going for under $10 on Amazon. |

Dr. Jim Peterson who owns Coaches Choice wrote the book for Bill Walsh. They are typically sold at the Coaches Choice booths at Glazier Clinics for $40.

hard cover copies start at around 300 since it is out of print, NFL coaches consider it a must have.

Thank you for all the responses. I do have a .pdf copy, but I was hoping to obtain a print version. However, given the much appreciated feedback, it appears that I might be overvaluing the book. Then again, for $40, it might be a nice addition. Thanks, again!

what is that? Is that the ASCII version of the book? because it isn't a scanned copy of the book, which is what I thought. the original has tons of pictures and diagrams I think that was Walsh's articles he wrote for the WSJ before he wrote the book. |

I think it's out of print Dr. Peterson owns the rights and always has them available at clinics. I bought a copy two years ago at the Texas High School Coaches Convention. I bought a buddy of mine a copy at the Glazier Clinic in Dallas last year. I will be at the Glazier Clinic in Greenwich, CT in March, and I will see if he has more available there. |

I got mine for $25 bucks aT Glazier clinic in Pittsburgh in 2011 I paid $40 at a Glazier a couple of years ago. It's an interesting read but I do agree that very little in it is applicable to a HS situation. If, however, somebody wants to offer me $200 for it they can feel free to PM me. |
