Fisher DeBerry is the winningest football coach in service academy history. But as Coach would tell you, success in coaching is not measured by the number of wins and losses. Real success in coaching is measured by the kind of people your players become. Faith, family and football–these are the priorities in Fisher DeBerry’s life and the themes of his book, The Power of Influence.

Coach DeBerry shares the secret of his success–his coaching philosophy hinged upon the life-changing lessons and character values he worked to instill in his players. In his humor and practical wisdom, Fisher DeBerry will prompt you to reflect on your power as a role model and the legacy you will leave behind.
