Building a football culture beyond the scoreboard

After a losing season leaves Coach Warrington at odds with his team, a meeting with retired teacher and coach Mitchell McClellen opens a different way to think about success. Their weekly conversations introduce a three-phase approach called “The Process of the ’Ship,” shifting the focus from the team’s record toward relationships and legacy. Framed as a fictionalized memoir, the book places its coaching lessons inside a football program’s effort to rebuild its culture, giving the sports premise a focus on leadership and the connections between a coach and players.

Book overview

More than the Game: Building Relationships for a Winning Culture is a fictionalized memoir in which Coach Warrington finds himself struggling. At the end of another long season, he's lost the locker room after several defeats. Worried about his team's record, he vents at his players, saying that they should "commit to getting bigger, stronger, and faster, or they might as well quit." When the Titans lose their final game, the school's athletic director suggests that Coach Warrington meet with a mentor to improve the program's culture. At first, Warrington is offended-he can't admit to needing help, but he also can't resist the opportunity to regain his edge, so he agrees to meet once a week with Mitchell McClellen, a retired teacher and ball coach. Mitchell shares his three-phase formula for winning: The Process of the 'Ship. Coach Warrington learns to view success as more about legacy than just winning. Can Coach Warrington heed his mentor's advice and change his program forever?
