In the golden years of professional football, one team and one coach
reigned supreme: the 1960s Green Bay Packers, and the fiery Vince
Lombardi.Run to Daylight! is Lombardi's own diary of a week at the helm
of that magnificent club. Together with legendary sports-journalist,
W.C. Heinz, Lombardi takes us from the first review of game films on
Monday right through the final gun on Sunday afternoon. We see the
planning, the plotting, the practice and the pain as forty-plus men come
together to form that precision unit that makes for winning football.
Lombardi gives us his views on life, the game, coaching, success,
family, and the famed "Lombardi Sweep." Now, in this anniversary
edition, with a special foreword by David Maraniss, we are once again
reminded of the passion and power behind America's greatest game.
Written in W.C. Heinz's inimitable style, Run to Daylight! is part
diary, part philosophy text, part coaches manual. Here, is professional
football at its best.
