that will keep their interest long enough so they will gain something from it!
Introducing the exciting new self-help book: 4 Downs to Anger Control - Control
Anger and Strengthen Character with Football Concepts and Principles. Authored

and quotes from NFL and college coaches. New
skills developed from familiar football concepts are introduced, helping to make
the topic of anger control more interesting and less cumbersome for the angry,

understand the thought processes involved in making reasonable moral decisions
and various exercises on how to practice making those decisions.
4 Downs to Anger Control also
could be used as a primer to increase awareness of male youth who are at
risk.” "Reading 4 Downs to Anger Control is like having a personal trainer helping you to develop the specific muscles you need to manage problematic anger. Tom Letson, like all good coaches and trainers, breaks the problem down into activities and ideas that are easy to understand and use, and then kicks your butt to implement them because he believes in you." - Bill O'Hanlon, M.S. Marriage and Family Therapist, and author/co-author of 17 books, including Stop Blaming, Start Loving and Do One Thing Different. “Letson
offers his 4 down T.I.M.E. technique in readable and applied form with drills
and scoring tips as well as a special section for professionals working with
clients who have anger management problems.
This is an excellent resource for therapists working with people who
consider themselves athletes and sports fans, which many persons with anger
management concede is an interest.” "This book can help any man develop a winning plan to become victorious at the important game of anger control. This strategy will work, if you do the work. Let Tom Letson and this book be your coach and learn some "plays" that will change your life." John Q. Baucom, PhD.
