Chad Hennings, a starting defensive end for the five-time Super Bowl champions the Dallas Cowboys, has earned the respect of sports fans of all ages. As an air force pilot in the Persian Gulf War, Hennings flew 45 missions in Desert Storm and Operation Provide Comfort, earning awards for both humanitarianism and air achievement.

In It Takes Commitment, Hennings shares the secret of his success, focusing on the key qualities that make an individual a true winner. The books follows Hennings from his early years as an Iowa farm boy to the Air Force Academy, where high demands were placed on him, to being a jet pilot in the Gulf War, where there is little margin for errors and little room for quitters, and finally to the glitter of the NFL, where there is no room for "weak stuff."

At the end of each chapter are some "Workout Drill" questions to help you identify commitments you would like to make and how you can fulfill those commitments each day.
