Just some thoughts and ideas on some of my favorite books that can help shape the way we think about our role as a Quarterback. The more knowledge we can explore from various backgrounds the more holistically we can serve the team we lead. As always, hopefully there is a nugget here and there that resonate with where you are at, adding a tool of understanding to your tool belt. -Coach Nate Longshore
