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.

In the storied history of NASCAR auto racing American race car driver Jimmie Johnson is one of the most accomplished and decorated professional athletes of his era and is the only race car driver ever to be named Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year. His historic seven NASCAR Cup Series championship titles are shared with NASCAR Hall of Famers Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt as the most all-time. One More Lap, Jimmie Johnson and The #48 memorializes the record-breaking career of this extraordinary athlete who began racing motocross at five years old in his hometown of El Cajon, California with a laser focus on becoming a racing champion. After switching from dirt bikes to off-road vehicles, Johnson quickly graduated into pavement racing, receiving mentorship from another NASCAR legend, Jeff Gordon. By 2002, Johnson was competing in NASCAR s Sprint Cup Series as part of the fabled Hendrick Motorsports racing team and began to capture the imagination of racing fans across the globe. Over the course of his career, Johnson recorded 83 wins, 232 top-five, 374 top-10 finishes and 36 pole positions en route to seven championships, including five in a row from 2006-2010. Johnson ranks sixth on the NASCAR all-time wins list and is a two-time Daytona 500 winner. Johnson s life changed in 2004 when he married Chandra Janway, later welcoming daughters Genevieve Marie in 2010 and Lydia Norriss in 2013. Chandra had a keen interest in art; the two began collecting, and in 2015 she opened the SOCO contemporary art gallery in Charlotte, North Carolina. Johnson began exploring his passion for art and photography by hiring photographers such as Andrew Moore and Danny Clinch to record behind-the-scenes at many of his races. With forewords from racing and sports legends, Jeff Gordon and Troy Aikman, this volume captures photographs from Johnson s early life and the beginning of his illustrious career and also features exhilarating racing snapshots by renowned photographers, Sebastian Kim and Peggy Sirota, as well as images taken Johnson himself. Revelatory, inspiring, and truly thrilling, Johnson s story will appeal to NASCAR enthusiasts, sports lovers, photography fans, and anyone interested in the story of a childhood dream that came true.
