Swing Your Sword: Leading the Charge in Football and Life

The legendary college football head coach tells his captivating story—from rural Wyoming to law school to the upper echelons of the SEC. A New York Times Bestseller Swing Your Sword is the first ever book by one of the most fascinating and successful coaches in sports. A maverick who took an unlikely path to coaching through law school, Mike Leach talks about his unorthodox approach to coaching and the choices that have brought him success throughout his career. A lover of football who started creating formations and drawing his own plays as a kid, Leach took his Texas Tech Red Raiders to numerous bowl games, achieving the #2 slot in national rankings and being voted 2008 Coach of the Year before being unceremoniously fired at the end of the 2009 season. The scandalous nature of his dismissal created a media frenzy and began a personal battle between Leach and his accusers that remains unresolved. "Mike Leach is a renaissance man through and through . . . He's a real maverick and an inspiration."-Peter Berg, filmmaker, director Friday Night Lights
