"Mike['s] bright, he's creative, and he's well organized. Above all, he has energy and a vision, the essence of what it takes to be successful." —Bill Walsh, San Francisco 49ers General Manager

"Mike leads by example with confidence, and with a track record that shows he knows what it takes to win." —Paul Tagliabue, National Football League Commissioner

Coach Mike Shanahan knows about achieving big goals. Armed with a plan, he and his World Champion Denver Broncos have elevated themselves to spectacular levels of performance. In three amazing years, they transformed a "mediocre," "aging" franchise into the most feared powerhouse in the NFL, with back-to-back Super Bowl rings to prove it.

Now, in Think Like a Champion, Shanahan opens his playbook to show the X's and O's of winning, a detailed game plan to help you storm the field with fail-proof strategies, confidence, and the indomitable will to win. Shanahan's principles of success are as deceptively simple as they are challenging:

• Preparation is key
• Whatever the sacrifice, it is worth the price of pursuing your passion
• Break down the competition's weakness and learn from their strengths
• Pick great leaders and give them the power to inspire
• Set huge goals. It's about work ethic and balance

Armed with his vision, and these proven success principles, you can improve your chances on Game Day—or any day of the week.
