From the Sideline to the Bestseller List
Nixa High School’s head football coach John Perry has added author to his résumé with the release of “Never Stop Getting Better,” a collection of stories and lessons drawn from decades on the gridiron.
Perry, who has led the Eagles for more than ten years, weaves together memories of championship seasons, locker‑room breakthroughs and the day‑to‑day challenges of shaping young athletes into disciplined leaders.
The book’s central message is simple: growth is a daily choice. Perry explains how the same principles that helped his team clinch multiple state titles can be applied to business, education and personal development.
A Milestone Event in Nixa
Fans and community members will have the chance to meet the coach in person at a book‑signing ceremony on June 15, 2026, inside the Nixa High School library. The event promises a casual conversation, a chance to ask questions and a limited number of signed copies.
Perry hopes the signing will spark dialogue about the importance of mentorship and the role of sports in teaching resilience, teamwork and lifelong learning.
“Never Stop Getting Better” is now available through major retailers and online platforms, where readers can explore the coach’s philosophy and discover practical strategies for fostering improvement in any setting.
