Now, for the first time, Cowher shines a light on a life filled with success, achieved through will and resilience in situations which, often times, appeared to be hopeless. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHeart and Steel\u003c\/i\u003e, Cowher takes you on his journey from childhood to the undersized, mohawked, disco-dancing North Carolina State linebacker, to fighting for a spot as a \"bubble player\" with the Browns and Eagles, before injuries ended his playing career. Bill explores how that same drive led to his big coaching break, running Special Teams for Marty Schottenheimer and the Cleveland Browns at just twenty-seven-years-old, before taking over the Pittsburgh Steelers seven years later. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut this is more than a \"football story.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 2010, Bill lost his beloved wife, Kaye, and father, Laird, within three months of one another. It forced him, yet again, to summon that resiliency to unearth a stronger version of himself--not only so he could march on, but to add a deeper level to the loving, supportive father his three daughters had always known. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCowher's learned many lessons in his life; as a father, grandfather, husband, coach, and broadcaster. He shows you how you can continue to grow by embracing change, personally and professionally, through renewed perspective and social consciousness. You can, too, with the same heart and steel.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBill Cowher coached the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1992 through 2006, winning Super Bowl XL.
