Swagger

A SWAGGER can't be acquired by material objects. It comes from a source deep within that you may have never known you possessed. The swagger never lets circumstance or criticism interrupt the mission. But what happens when your uncommon dream doesn't go as planned -your business fails, tragedy hits, you make a bad decision, your marriage goes down hill, your athletic aspirations don't pan out, or you're in a job that just doesn't do it for you? You see with every little hiccup in life you lose energy, excitement and drive. YOU LOSE YOUR SWAGGER! These are the stories rarely discussed by the mainstream sports media - stories that will empower your walk through life, show you what mental toughness really means, and give YOU a SWAGGER!

FOX NFL Sunday analyst and legendary Hall of Fame head football coach Jimmy Johnson—the first to win both a college football championship and a Super Bowl—shares his long-awaited, intimate, no-regrets memoir recounting his extraordinary life and insightful lessons on winning, at every level. Hall of Fame football coach Jimmy Johnson’s house isn’t on the way to anything. Yet, his private sanctuary on the Florida Keys’ Islamorada islands is a popular destination to which college and professional coaches, general managers, and team owners regularly trek to seek advice—how to build a positive team culture, draft elite players, balance work and family life, and lead a team to win. Why? Because Jimmy Johnson has done it all—rising through the college coaching ranks to lead the University of Miami Hurricanes to a national championship, winning two consecutive Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys, and handling public triumphs while dealing with private adversity. Now, written with veteran sports journalist Dave Hyde, Johnson shares a candid account of his life experiences that have turned him into a legend in the coaching world. From his early days on the college football fields at Louisiana Tech to his arrival as the Cowboys’ coach in 1989, Swagger traces the history of Johnson’s career, and his lifelong mission to win. His larger-than-life personality and hard-driving, tough-talking coaching style led him to become one of only six coaches in NFL history to win back-to-back Super Bowls. Swagger shows the behind-the-scenes details of his professional conflict with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his personal revelations following his mother’s death and his son’s struggle with addiction. It reveals Johnson’s formula for winning, including his criteria for identifying talent, his core beliefs, how he replaced legendary coaches like Tom Landry and Don Shula, coached stars from a young Troy Aikman to an aging Dan Marino, and established the ever-elusive sense of “culture” that every team leader hopes to achieve. More than a highlight reel, Swagger reveals the hard-won lessons Jimmy Johnson has learned both as a man and as a coach through a lifetime dedicated to excellence.

This book started out as a journal reminder. I was in a state of reflection, looking back on my financial achievements and errors. I began to realize that when I achieved financial success, I followed a set of guidelines that I’ve been able to rely on throughout my adolescence and adult life. When I made errors and failed, I didn’t follow those guidelines. I somehow neglected to connect the dots until I started to just capture my thoughts in a journal. These thoughts were for me to read and make a practice of so that I wouldn’t conveniently forget when I needed to recall them the most. I realized quickly that a lot of these practices are not discussed openly, and more importantly, I realized that the information that I was writing down for me could help many others. I have always wanted to do something to help people financially, and this is the first step. A set of seven primary principles that, when practiced regularly and incorporated into daily thinking and living, will have great impact to many. This book is a guide. It’s a map. The true journey begins when you read the map and take the first step. There will be more financial discoveries along the way. I wrote for an easy read. I believe in simple brilliance. Lengthy reading has a way of losing people. We live in such a fast-paced world in which new information is out around the clock, and many times, we overcomplicate things because the content goes against the pace and flow of the world we live in. This book aims to provide the right blend of information and stay in sync with the pace of the world, fast but plentiful.

Stop being a poser. Start being a Christian. Is your faith for real? How about your walk? If everyone who claimed to love Jesus actually did, this world would be pretty close to paradise. Yet we live in a time when being a poser is not only easy, it’s rewarded—especially where Jesus is concerned. But claiming to love Jesus without following him is bogus, fraudulent, and—frankly—it’s not you. God has called you to be set apart, to live authentically, to walk a genuine Jesus Swagger. He wants followers, not pretenders. From Christian blogger Jarrid Wilson, Jesus Swagger is about calling out the phony, showing the pretender the door, and letting Jesus in instead. If you are suspicious of your own motivations, your own talk, or even your own Christianity, it’s time to be honest, come clean, and get real. It’s time to take the Jesus Swagger litmus test and start walking the walk.

This book should come with aloe vera gel and a handle, because you might get burned and you will need to hold on to something. Urban Swagger is not for the faint hearted, but is not devoid of hope. Peace, Hope and Love are still the message, however in Urban Swagger the message is grittier and wounded many times. These poems are what you may have thought / would have liked to say out loud, but may find it wiser to keep these thoughts to yourself. With time and distance, I think it is safe to share these raw emotions in a place where they may do more good than harm. Consider it food for thought. These potent poems range from irreverent to relevant, from profane to profound, from celestial to terrestrial. Urban Swagger loves life, if it didn't love it wouldn't care, if it didn't care it wouldn't bother. This is based in love, not disdain. It is meant to give a close up picture of life among people; Earth's own human beings, in this place and time.

I, Sniper Recruited by the FBI to examine the data, retired Marine sharpshooter Bob Lee Swagger penetrates the new technology of the secretive sniper world to unravel a sophisticated conspiracy run by his most ruthless adversary yet—a marksman whose keen intellect and pinpoint accuracy rival his own. But when the enemy and his deadly henchmen mistake Bob for the hunted, it’s clear that some situations call for a good man with a gun . . . and the guts to use it. Night of Thunder Woe unto he who crosses Bob Lee Swagger, especially when his daughter's life is at stake. Forced off the road and into a crash that leaves her in a coma, clinging to life, reporter Nikki Swagger had begun to peel back the onion of a Southernfried conspiracy bubbling with all the angst, resentment, and dysfunction that Dixie gangsters can muster. An ancient, violent crime clan, a possibly corrupt law enforcement structure, gunmen of all stripes and shapes, and deranged evangelicals rear their ugly heads and will live to rue the day they targeted the wrong man's daughter. It's what you call your big-time bad career move. All of it is set against the backdrop of excitement and insanity that only a weeklong NASCAR event can bring to the backwoods of a town as seemingly sleepy as Bristol, Tennessee. 47th Samurai Bob Lee Swagger and Philip Yano are bound together by a single moment at Iwo Jima, 1945, when their fathers, two brave fighters on opposite sides, met in the bloody and chaotic battle for the island. Only Earl Swagger survived. More than sixty years later, Yano comes to America to honor the legacy of his heroic father by recovering the sword he used in the battle. Bob Lee finds the sword and delivers it to Yano in Tokyo. On inspection, they discover that it is not a standard WWII blade, but a legendary shin-shinto katana, an artifact of the nation. It is priceless but worth killing for. Suddenly Bob is at the center of a series of terrible crimes he barely understands but vows to avenge…

Elvis Presley's clever manipulation of his numerous interests remains one of the music world's great marvels. His synthesis of country, rhythm & blues and gospel resulted in an inventive mixture of hair-raising rock & roll and balladry. This book focuses on the music of Presley's groundbreaking early years and includes a comprehensive analysis of every Presley recording session from the 1950s. Chapters show how Presley, with one foot in delta mud and the other in a country hoedown, teamed with Scotty Moore and Bill Black to fuse two distinctly American musical forms--country and blues--to form what would come to be known as "rockabilly." Also detailed is Presley's influence on music and how his contributions are still celebrated today.

Poetry. Richard Fox weaves lyrical magic in his SWAGGER & REMORSE, a book-length series of poems at once intimate ('I'd rather be a river than anything else') and richly metaphysical ('Trees look inside the houses, see all the wood & cannot look away'). They help us to consider grief -'I'll always / think of you as I pretend to eat the living air or pull / an origami swan out of nowhere / or out of someone's ear' - with humor and mystery and an elegant humanity. I recommend these distilled and powerful poems, with their birds and trees and houses and fires and rivers and hands and salt and blood to anyone who would like a fresh pair of eyes - 'Once a year the flowers on this very porch take wing / as if they just remembered something' - and a whole new landscape to marvel over -Maureen Seaton.
