“Going Beyond: Vision, the NFL, and the 2010 Carolina Panthers is Robert G. Gilbert’s definitive e-book on the composition of NFL Football. Defining and utilizing such concepts as critical thinking, player development, the role of coaching, computer profiling, mentoring, entropy, the vital significance of vision, and more, Gilbert crafts a textbook that truly does show the reader how to go beyond, in life as well as football. His detailed critical analysis of the 2010 Carolina Panthers illustrates how to properly implement the methodologies he develops, in addition to offering the Carolina Panthers a chance for true growth.”

John Wooden, Teaching, And Carolina Panthers Head Coach Ron Rivera

Former San Diego Chargers and Chicago Bears defensive coordinator, new Carolina Panthers Head Coach Ron Rivera said, in his first press conference with Carolina, "We're looking for teachers. We're looking for guys that are going to be really good in the classroom and out on the field, and that will make that commitment to the players.”

Hiring teachers is an excellent first step towards overcoming and going beyond, but for sustained improvement, teachers must become mentors.
