What really happens in those split-second decisions that can change the course of a college football game? As an SEC football official and successful business leader, Chris Garner gives readers an unprecedented look inside the high-pressure world of officiating, where every call matters and every play walks the line between "almost" and "actual" infractions.

From managing heated conversations with legendary SEC coaches to overseeing pivotal plays under the stadium lights, Garner draws powerful parallels between officiating elite college football and achieving success in business and life. With candid stories from the field and the boardroom, he reveals how the principles that guide officials through high-stakes moments translate directly to sales, leadership, and personal growth.

Part memoir, part leadership playbook, Whistles and Wisdom offers readers a unique perspective on performance under pressure, decision-making, and earning respect in any arena. Whether you're closing deals or calling plays, Garner's insights will forever change how you view success, leadership, and the beautiful complexity of football.
