Brook Berringer, quarterback, proudly wore #18 as a Nebraska Cornhusker. During the fall of 1994, he burst into the national spotlight. In a run of eight games, after Tommie Frazier went down with a blood clot, he led the Big Red through the heart of the Big Eight schedule. He started seven of those games, finished the other, played with a deflated lung, was undefeated, and had his team poised to play for the national championship in the Orange Bowl against a powerful Miami squad. For eight months then, controversy boiled about who would be the starter for Tom Osborne in the fall of 1995. When Frazier was chosen, Berringer became the best-known backup quarterback in America. Many fans were amazed at the grace and poise by which he accepted his demotion when Frazier was chosen over him as the starting quarterback. Then came April 18. Four hours before Brook was to speak at the Annual Fellowship of Christian Athletes Banquet in Lincoln, the plane he was piloting crashed and burned in a hay field. The crash killed him and his hometown friend, Tobey Lake. Fifteen years ago, his mother along with Art Lindsay wrote "One Final Pass" which became a bestseller and inspired thousands of football fans that searched for meaning behind Brook's untimely death. This edition includes new stories since the book was published. It includes new material from Tom Osborne, Turner Gill, Ron Brown and many other football players and Husker fans that were impacted by Brook's life and death.

Whatever you do, do it heartily as unto the Lord (Col. 3:23). If what you do is athletics, how can that be done? What does this instruction imply? In this book, Coach Tolsma expounds the many lessons he has learned in over fifty years in athletics to help the reader learn how to do athletics as unto the Lord. About the Author As a youth, Brant Tolsma competed in basketball, cross-country, track and field, gymnastics, physical fitness competitions, springboard diving, and judo. As an adult, he continued to train and compete when he could in road races, triathlons, and track and field events. He twice won his age group at the Master's National Decathlon Championship and twice won the World Double-Decathlon Championship, setting five age 50, 55, and 60 world records in the double-decathlon. The double-decathlon is a twenty-event, two-day competition involving every track and field event. Dr. Tolsma coached for forty-four years, serving the last thirty-four as the head track coach at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. During that span, the Liberty teams he coached won 116 conference championships. His athletes earned 61 All-America honors and six national championships despite having no track facility when he arrived at Liberty in 1986. He and his wife, Nancy, have six children and twenty grandchildren. Educated first as an engineer at Newark College of Engineering (B.S. -'71) and the University of Michigan (M.S. -'73), Brant completed his studies in the Biomechanics of Sport at Indiana University (Ph.D. - '79). Though he loves to compete and win, the passion of his heart is to bring honor to his Savior, Jesus Christ, and to teach others to do that as well. He knows the only trophies that retain their value are those laid up in heaven.

So often, we are told that legacy is measured in terms of material success-winning, acclaim, trophies, wealth, or personal happiness and satisfaction. In "The Legacy of Leadership," however, Coach Tom Osborne discusses how leading with the end in mind is the only way to leave a legacy that truly matters. Through personal stories and teachings, Coach Osborne shares the foundational actions (accountability, priorities, and strategy) and foundational values (values and vision, love, integrity, humility, patience, self-control, and loyalty) that lead to impactful outflow (serving, mentoring, and empowerment) and impactful outcomes (confidence, unity, perseverance, excellence, transformation, and success). "The Legacy of Leadership" also includes topical stories from some of the people that know Coach Osborne best (Trev Alberts, Turner Gill, Frank Solich, Ron Brown and Jim Pillen, e.g.) to highlight how he has lived these principles out as a coach, congressman, athletic director, mentor, family man, and follower of Christ. Most importantly, this book will help you better understand that the true legacy of leadership is not about you. It's about honoring God through your leadership and serving those that you lead. Tom Osborne is a renowned college football coach, respected politician, and accomplished athletic administrator. From 1973 to 1997, he served as head coach at the University of Nebraska, leading the teams to unprecedented success. Under his guidance, the Cornhuskers claimed three national championships and 13 conference titles. Beyond football, Osborne co-founded the non-profit TeamMates Mentoring program with his wife Nancy in 1991. In 2000, he ventured into public service and was elected to the United States House of Representatives. Osborne also served as Nebraska's Athletic Director from 2007 to 2013. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1999.
