Summary
*Running Time => 10 hrs。*
A poignant， inspirational story about football， family， and love from Bill Cowher， the Super Bowl-winning， Hall-of-Fame Pittsburgh Steelers coach， and cohost of CBS' 'The NFL Today'。
Long before the Lombardi Trophy， the Golden Hall of Fame jacket， and successful TV career， legendary head coach Bill Cowher was simply "Billy from Crafton"。
Born and raised just 15 minutes from old Three Rivers Stadium， it was in Crafton where the foundation of Cowher's irrepressible work ethic， passion for teaching， and love of football and the Pittsburgh Steelers were built。 Now， for the first time， Cowher will shine a light on a life filled with success， achieved through will and resilience in situations which， often times， appeared to be hopeless。
In 'HEART AND STEEL'， Cowher will take you on his journey from childhood to the undersized mohawked， disco-dancing North Carolina State linebacker， to fighting for a spot as a "bubble player" with the Browns and Eagles， before injuries ended his playing career。 Bill will discuss how that same drive led to his big coaching break， running Special Teams for Marty Schottenheimer and the Cleveland Browns at just 27-years-old， before taking over the Pittsburgh Steelers just 7 years later。 Cowher will reveal exclusive， never-before-told anecdotes and candid thoughts on the biggest games， players， and moments that defined his 15-year Steelers tenure。
But this is more than a "football story"
In 2010， Bill lost his beloved wife， Kaye， and father， Laird， within three months of one another。 It forced him， yet again， to summon that resiliency to unearth a stronger version of himself—not only so he could march on， but to add a deeper level to the loving， supportive father his three daughters had always known。
Cowher's learned many lessons in his life; as a father， grandfather， husband， coach， and broadcaster。 He will show you how you can continue to grow by embracing transition， personally and professionally， through renewed perspective and social consciousness。
"Billy from Crafton" has come a long way。 Through love and conviction， Cowher's achieved more than he ever could have dreamed of。 You can， too， with the same heart and steel。
