Book Review: Game Plan For Life by Joe Gibbs

Recently I was able to get my hands on a very intriguing piece of literature entitled Game Plan For Life by none other than the historic coach Joe Gibbs.  In this novel, you’ll find no wizadry, intense action sequences, or thrillers.  No, instead you’ll find 100% real life experiences and beliefs.  Throughout the book, Gibbs manages to keep you hooked through interesting tale after interesting tale and the book also presents you with a certain in depth view of a football locker room that can be provided by none other than a historic coach such as Joe Gibbs.

To sum it all up, the book revolves around Gibbs experiences over his lifetimes and how he has been able to deal with it (usually dealing with his problems through a religious aspect).  Now I know a lot of people tend to roll their eyes at the mention of a whole novel filled of religious beliefs (believe me, I’m one of them), but the pace, style, and context Gibbs uses in the book will have you more into the book than you would care to think.  Game Plan For Life covers several big events in Gibbs’ life, one of which being the death of Pro-bowler Sean Taylor.

Overall, I found this to be a very enjoyable book that is a must have for any reader in general.  Joe Gibbs will have you pondering your own life and finally understanding the ways of one of the greatest coaches in the history of the game.
