Overview
The most famous strength and conditioning coach in college football uses his story of hitting rock bottom and clawing his way back to success to inspire audiences in life, business and sports.
Few names in college football command respect like Scott Cochran, affectionately known as "Coach Yeah," the 8-time National Championship-winning strength and conditioning coach whose booming voice and relentless energy turned boys into champions at Alabama and Georgia. But behind the rings, ESPN appearances, and hall-of-fame-level hype, Cochran faced an opponent far tougher than any SEC rival: addiction.
Skull Session is his no-holds-barred account of rising to the top, falling hard, and clawing his way back with faith, grit, and the unwavering belief that champions are built in the mind as well as on the field. If Cochran is known for anything, it’s using his distinct voice to turn go-getters into champions. In this motivational self-help book, Cochran blends raw personal testimony with the essential principles that have shaped some of the NFL's greatest stars, including Derrick Henry, Julio Jones, and Minkah Fitzpatrick.
This is a playbook for life. Each chapter centers on a core principle learned in what Cochran calls "skull sessions"—mental-development meetings that taught his players (and himself) to confront their fears, failures, and ambitions head-on. From his near-fatal overdose to his spiritual reawakening, Cochran reveals how he rebuilt his life one day at a time.
Perfect for sports fans, self-improvement readers, and anyone seeking redemption, Skull Session is the ultimate underdog story. It's a testament to the truth that no matter how many times you fall, you can rise again—and rise stronger.
