About The Book
Quarterback John Unitas was all that America wanted in a man in the late 1950s into the 1960s. He was hardworking, humble, respectful, and true to his word. As a football player, Unitas became known for his trademark crew cut and black high-top cleats . . . which he would later wear when cutting grass because “they were comfortable and still fit.” Blessed with athleticism and a goldenarm, he had a heart that pumped ice water through his veins, allowing him to remain unemotional in the tensest moments of football games. In fact, he is credited with inventing—and perfecting—the two-minute drill; but statistics and accolades weren’t important to him—only winning.
Joe Unitas was fortunate enough to have had twenty-eight great years with his dad and he knows the essence of the man. His father's ambition, determination, and courage never wavered. The examples he set and the lessons he taught are a father's legacy to his son as Joe's biggest supporter and most incredible source of inspiration. His passion and motivation to be the best served as the foundations upon which many of Joe's successes have been built.
Unitas to Unitas offers a deeply personal reflection on John Unitas's legacy and its profound effect within every aspect of his son's life. His life lessons allowed the author to make his own dreams come true. This collection of twenty lessons informed the author's life, and in this book he shares them as inspirational wisdom from one of football's greatest leaders.

Raves and Reviews
“This book skillfully balances family anecdotes with football history, presenting Johnny not just as a celebrated quarterback but as a father and a mentor. The firsthand accounts from his son humanize the sports icon, revealing the values and life lessons he imparted to his children… The narrative appeals to sports enthusiasts and readers interested in personal growth stories, a distinctive perspective of a football star’s life, a heartfelt exploration of father-son relationships, and the human side of sports heroes. It makes an excellent companion to more traditional biographies.”
– Library Journal, Starred Review
“Unitas to Unitas by his son Joe shows a very different side so many of us have never known until now… unadulterated entertainment for any sports fan or a perfect gift for dads on Father’s Day.”
