It wasn't enough that, as a high school coach, Homer Rice won 1961's "Winningest Football Coach in America" Award. It wasn't enough that invented the triple-option offense,but as a college coach, he earned 1976's "Master of the Passing Game" Award. It wasn't enough that Homer Rice came to Georgia Tech and miraculously resuscitated the school's moribund athletic program, culminating in the 1990 National Football Championship. Because for Homer Rice, winning football games was never enough. Rice has left an enduring mark on NCAA football, and on collegiate athletics in general, but perhaps his greatest achievement is his creation of the Student-Athletic Total Person Program. Instituted at Georgia Tech, this program is now helping young men and women achieve their full potential at close to two hundred other colleges and universities. Using his own story as a compelling case study, Rice shows in Lessons For Leaders how his innovative "Attitude Technique Philosophy leads to total success, whether on the gridiron or in any other of life's endeavors.
