Description

With forewords from legendary National Championship Football Coaches Lou Holtz and Ara Parseghian. 

“Coaches, you’re going to want to give a copy of Triumph! to every one of your players. It’ll not only help them compete at a higher level, but it will also make you a better coach!” 
—Coach Ted Marchibroda, NFL Head Coach, Baltimore Colts 1975–1979, Indianapolis Colts 1992–1995, Baltimore Ravens 1996–1998

“An incredible book! The lessons in Triumph! transcend sports and are relevant to everyday life. You’ll definitely want to read it more than once. I know I did!”
—Ron Wallace, former VP of UPS International

“The lessons contained in this book may start out having to do with sports, but they apply to all aspects of life. The stories inTriumph! are entertaining, but the lessons are priceless. This is a book about winning, written by a man who is a true winner in every sense of the word.”
—Tom Annexstad, former Valdosta State QB, businessman, Vice President/Director of Development of The Annexstad Family Foundation

“If you want to not only be a great player but also inspire others to be their best, then this is a book you have to own.”
—David Phillips, former college football player and youth football coach

"So many guys in the NFL don’t realize the great opportunity that they have until it’s gone. The reality is that the NFL stands for Not For Long and they need to maximize every opportunity to give them a game plan for the rest of their life. Triumph! teaches all athletes exactly what it means to be grounded. It should serve as a blueprint for anyone who wants to play at the highest level on and off the field." 
—Renaldo Wynn, Notre Dame Team Captain, NFL 1st Round Draft Pick as Defensive End, Jacksonville Jaguars (NFL All Rookie Team), Washington Redskins (Team Captain), New Orleans Saints, New York Giants. Currently a motivational speaker and working at Joe Gibbs Racing in business development under mentor Hall of Fame Coach Joe Gibbs as well as an ESPN and ACC college football analyst.

“An excellent book! It will definitely change lives, and it may just change sports as we know it!”
—Mike McCoy, Notre Dame Football All-American, NFL 1st Round Draft Pick, Green Bay Packers, Oakland Raiders, New York Giants, Detroit Lions, President of Mike McCoy Ministries

“Having coached at the collegiate level, I can tell you that the principles inside Triumph! are priceless. Not only will this book give players a process to compete at the highest levels, but more importantly it will help prepare them for all of life’s future challenges.”
—Coach John Shingler, former Notre Dame football player and football coach at Middle Tennessee State, Georgia Southern, University of Georgia, and Urbana College

“Good teams all do the same things to prepare, yet the intangibles are what determine whether they become great. Triumph! addresses all those intangibles and will truly prepare you to be a champion both on and off the field!”
—Coach Tim McFarlin, 34-year Georgia High School football coach at Roswell HS and Blessed Trinity HS, 2006 State Champion

“The lessons I learned from Coach Matt on the football field I carry to this day with me in my everyday life. For example, if the ball doesn’t bounce your way, that’s when you find out what you’re made of. Not everything in life will be in your favor, but how you handle yourself in the face of adversity is all that matters. As you read through Triumph!, soak it all in. It will make you a champion in more ways than one.”
—Ali Rezvan, University of Georgia student, economics major, former President of Alpharetta HS Future Business Leaders of America

—Jeff Auterson, President of Auterson Baseball

“I loved Triumph! A great read for leaders on and off the field!”
—Adam Orkin, youth baseball coach, CEO Orkin & Associates, Chairman of the Orkin Family Foundation

—Chuck Pendleton, former athlete and youth football coach

"What an inspirational book! Triumph! truly reminds us what it means to be alive in mind, body, and spirit! 
—Father Jason Brooks, Priest and former college football player

“I love the game of football. However, when I was in high school I was not as tall or big as the other players on the team. My family met Coach Kunz, who had been watching me practice and saw potential in me. Since I was undersized and did not have the power or speed of other players, Coach shared and demonstrated his knowledge of football with me. This was important because it kept me mentally one step ahead of my opponent. Coach Kunz guided me through training and focused on the fundamentals of the game. His one-on-one training made me a better and more informed player. With this knowledge I became Defensive Player of the Year in my junior year of high school, and in my senior year I had the second most tackles on the team.
Matt Kunz has a passion for the game of football, and he shares his knowledge with young players. Not only has Coach Kunz been a great trainer, but he has also been a mentor for me and many other young student athletes.”
—Ryan Gehricke, junior, University of Alabama, criminal justice major

“Having coached football with Matt, I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing first-hand how his straightforward coaching philosophy has inspired passion, leadership, courage, and humility in his players. This same coaching philosophy can be found in Triumph!, a book designed for the athlete to help conquer the greatest obstacles and achieve the ultimate goals.”
—Ed Nejeschleba, former youth football and basketball coach

“I’ve known Matt and his father for many years, and I can tell you that the advice in Triumph! is sound. Anyone who reads this book will have the potential to do great things in their sport. More importantly, they will be better people for having read it.”
—Mark Smith, business owner & Chairman of the Scott C. Ratterman/C. Edward Shell Memorial Scholarship Fund, 35-year football official, 2x State Champion

“Matt’s book is a MUST READ for any devoted football fan or player and especially for parents of football players. It explains the ART of football in a new and entertaining way, but in addition, it is a primer for how to be a successful athlete, as well as a successful person.” 
—Judy Kelner, football fanatic, parent and grandparent of football players, from Pop Warner through college

“As a parent of two daughters, one a state champion high school tennis player and the other a southeast region dance champion, I only wish that we’d had Matt’s book before our girls embarked upon their journeys. Our family has dealt with many coaches, from bad to outstanding, and the choices one makes in selecting a coach, an instructor, a team, etc. Matt’s book boils it all down in a common sense way. Unfortunately, there’s politics in everything, and sports are no exception. Matt’s book should be read by all athletes over the age of 12 and their parents.”
—Michael Rosenthal, attorney at Wagner, Johnston & Rosenthal, P.C.

“Books like Triumph! don’t come around all too often, but I’m so glad this one did! Triumph! answered all of my questions about the inner workings of sports. This is a must read for the athlete who wants to bring out the most of their God-given talent, the parent who wants to understand how best to direct their child in the game they love, and the coach who wants to triumph on and off the field.”
—Van J. Kottis, former sports player, current softball coach, sports fan, and parent

“To all who read this book, you have given yourself a tremendous advantage in sports—and in life.

Kunz combines personal success and experiences as a player and coach, wisdom from professional athletes and famous coaches, inspiring stories, and practical strategies into a solid guide for navigating through life as an athlete. The question is, will you heed his advice? Don’t be the athlete wondering what could have been. Use your God-given ability to learn how to prepare advantageously for athletic competition and for life as an athlete. Regardless of whether you become a professional, you are an athlete, and the world will treat you differently. Learn how to be successful on and off the field by reading this book. If you were guaranteed victory, would you read it? Your odds of victory increase greatly if you know what to e xpect. I’m honored to be teammates with Kunz to this day, and I so value his wisdom. His trust in and obedience to God, as well as his leadership and courage to speak up enabled me to become a starter at Notre Dame, and I know his advice will help you succeed as well. Thank you, God, and thank you, Matt Kunz! Forever, I am grateful.”—Bryan Mulvena, MBA, Notre Dame BSME ’00, Notre Dame Football ’96–’97
