Follow on Google News |  Motivational Football Coach Jeff Young Hits Amazon Best-Seller List With “Power Principles v2"Coach Jeff Young recently hit two Amazon.com best-seller lists with the new business book, “Power Principles For Success – Volume 2,” co-authored with best-selling author and speaker Brian Tracy.
By: Celebrity Press Publishing On the day of release, Power Principles for Success reached best-seller status in two Amazon.com categories - reaching as high as #3 in the “Direct Marketing” category. The book also reached best-seller status in the “Marketing” Coach Jeff Young is an inspirational writer and motivational football coach. A former college running back and rock guitarist, Jeff began having trouble holding a guitar pick in 1983. This led to an Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) diagnosis and medical prognosis of death within three to five years. Thirty-one years later, not only does he continue to befuddle medical experts, but he has turned his tragedy into a triumphant role inspiring people the world over. With arms, hands, and legs nearly useless, and a progressive and fatal neurological disorder hanging over his head, Jeff has spent three plus decades creatively developing ways to remain positive and optimistic. He learned just how individualistic happiness, motivation, and optimism are when he saw individuals getting everything they wanted in life and were still unhappy pessimists, while many in wretched circumstances remained cheerful optimists. He made it his mission to learn as much as he could about how to be happy, motivated, and optimistic, and to share this knowledge with as many others as possible. He began sending out Jeff’s Inspirational Quotations, a biweekly inspirational email message of his findings and philosophy, and quickly received feedback from nearly every corner of the world in the form of praise and from those seeking advice. Impressed with Jeff’s writings, in 2004, legendary high school football coach Steve Coury asked Jeff to join his coaching staff for motivational and inspirational reasons. When both saw the incredible impact his message had on the lives of Coury’s athletes, his role increased from a weekly inspirational letter to the team to include mentoring individual players and teaching leadership skills to team leaders. About Coach Jeff, Coury says,“I have been coaching for 30 years with aspirations of making a difference in young men’s lives. Coach Young has a profound impact on every life he touches.” After many bitter “close, but no cigar” playoff losses, in 2011, amidst tears of joy, the state championship trophy was presented to Coach Jeff in one of the great moments in Oregon high school football history.
