Whether breaking tackles dancing with the stars or building his businesses - photo 1

Whether breaking tackles, dancing with the stars, or building his businesses, Emmitt has always striven to be excellent in all he does each day. Readers of this book will learn just what it takes to be a champion in every aspect of life, including the all-important areas of faith and family.

Bishop T. D. Jakes

Senior pastor of The Potters House of Dallas and CEO of TDJ Enterprises

When Emmitt came to the Cowboys, he told his teammates that when he retired, he would be the NFLs all-time leading rusher. I watched him pursue his dream with relentless determination, overcoming adversity on several occasions and never once wavering from his goal. If anybody is qualified to write a book about daring to dream, it is my teammate and my friend Emmitt Smith.

Daryl Johnston

Former Cowboys fullback and commentator on NFL on Fox

I may have helped Emmitt Smith become a great ballroom dancer, but he taught me about living like a champion in all aspects of life, respecting yourself and others, and always reaching higher to make the most of your talents while using them to benefit those around you. This book is a great gift to us all, and so is Emmitt Smith.

Cheryl Burke

Champion of Dancing with the Stars

Table of Contents

Welcome to Game On

Ive written this book to share with you the many lessons Ive learned as well as the mistakes Ive made in my life and my career. I hope what I have to say will help you pursue and achieve your dreams in whatever game you play.

I am often asked to speak to students, corporate leaders, and organizations because of my successful journey from a Pensacola public housing development to the Pro Football Hall of Fameand there was a little televised dancing championship somewhere in there too. I enjoy telling my story, even as I am still writing its latest chapters in pursuit of opportunities in business, sports, and entertainment.

What I hope youll remember as you read is that I didnt begin life as a Hall of Fame running back or a television celebrity. There were many who doubted I would ever make it in the National Football League (NFL). You will have your doubters too. When they come around, tell them what I told mine:

Game on!

I have always been determined to achieve my dreams no matter what anyone else might say or think. I was willing to do whatever it took to become the person I needed to be so I could claim the goals Id set for myself. You can do the same.

Like me, you wont do it alone. My faith, my family, and my friends have made a huge difference in my life. I stood on the shoulders of many wonderful and helpful people when I accepted my Hall of Fame award. They believed in me because they saw I believed in myself and was committed to being a champion.

Where you start doesnt matter. Its where you finish that counts. And how you end up in this life depends on what you do every day to accomplish your goals. Each day is a step toward building a legacy, a life of meaning and fulfillment. I didnt break the NFL rushing record by running 18,355 yards in one game. I did it by setting the goal to gain at least four yards on every carry of every NFL game.

And I didnt achieve every goal I set for myselfat least on the first try. Sometimes I fell short. You will too. But sometimes I exceeded my goalor I kept trying until I achieved it.

You will do that too.

If you put your heart into it as well as your mind and body, I believe you will have a championship-caliber life. This book offers a practical, step-by-step plan based on my personal experience. Heres a quick summary of what it takes:

Step 1. Envision what you want, and then dream of the best possible life.

Step 2. Turn your dreams into goals, and pursue your highest possible purpose as defined by Gods gifts within you.

Step 3. Build a strong moral character based on your own values and principles.

Step 4. Pursue your dreams and highest purpose with unrelenting commitment and unfailing consistency.

Step 5. Be courageous even when faced with the worst of your fears and the greatest of challenges.

Step 6. Seize and create opportunities that match up with your long-term goals and principles.

Step 7. Build a championship team of supporters, role models, and mentors.

Step 8. Maintain a winning attitude even during setbacks and defeats.

Step 9. Make wise decisions, and reduce risk to keep yourself on track.

Step 10. Return Gods favor with your heart open to him and your hand open to your fellow human beings.

This plan does not offer a magic pill or a secret formula. I dont make any claims that these are original concepts. Most are taught in the Bible and in the writings of both ancient and modern philosophers. They have been tested over time and in the lives of many, and they have certainly made a difference in my own life.

But simply reading the steps wont result in a life-changing transformation. The rewards you reap will be directly related to the effort you make in following these steps and making them a part of your life.
