Beyond the Goalpost: Winning in Coaching, Leadership, & Life

By Adam Winegarden

"It doesn't read like a typical leadership book. It feels natural rather than forced. Story-driven - and that puts it in a unique space with more potential." - Ashley Stillman, Owner, Stories on Broad, Albertville, AL

From 25 years on the sideline as a coach, head coach, athletic director, and director of leadership, Adam Winegarden has collected lessons that no clinic or textbook can teach.

Beyond the Goalpost: Winning in Coaching, Leadership, and Life is a playbook for coaches, athletic directors, and anyone called to lead people - organized into three sections: Winning in Coaching, Winning in Leadership, and Winning in Life. Each chapter draws from real moments, real struggles, and real lessons from a career built on developing people, not just athletes.

At its core, this book is about people, purpose, and the responsibility we all share to lead well - building teams, practicing servant leadership, and living a life of faith that leaves a legacy beyond the scoreboard.

Includes a full Reflection and Discussion Guide - ideal for coaching staffs, team devotionals, leadership programs, and book clubs.
