He was named “Coach of the Century” by ESPN. The Super Bowl Trophy is named in his honor. And almost forty years after his death, legendary coach Vince Lombardi’s words still ring true: “Running a football team is no different than running any other kind of organization – an army, a political party or a business. The principles are the same.” His classic words, along with vintage photography, are presented in a beautiful gift book and movie titled What It Takes to Be Number One. Whether your team plays on the field or in the boardroom, this timeless message will inspire you to be number one.

Just click here to watch our What It Takes to be Number One movie and hear excerpts of Lombardi’s most famous speech. It gave me “goose bumps” the first time I heard it!

Also, today, to celebrate next weekend’s Super Bowl XLIV, we’re pleased to offer What It Takes to be Number One book, our 3 minute movie and the 20 minute audio CD of Lombardi speaking to a live audience, for only $12.00 (regular price is $19.95, a 40% savings). This also makes a treasured gift for any sports fan you know!

Note: This offer expires at 11:59PM CST on Monday February 1, 2010.
