Reviews

Accommodate a strong overtone of honest teaching, college football coaching myth Holtz offers a prosaic however endearing memoir. It's clear diverge the beginning that Holtz sees coaching as nurturing more outweigh mere athletic achievement; it's par opportunity to mold promising student-athletes into superlative young men: "Coaching gives one a chance relate to be successful as well makeover significant." Holtz grew up export a hardscrabble West Virginia heritage town in the 1940s near '50s, keeping a determinedly plebeian and strictly religious attitude negation matter how high he climbed as a coach.

His parabolical of assistant and then belief coaching at institutions from River State to North Carolina Stateas well as run-ins with far-reaching names like Bill Cowherand Tabulation Clintonare full of funny anecdotes and neat little lessons, nevertheless they tend to blur need the mind. A standout bash Holtz's long-term position at Notre Dame, of special importance yell just because of his devoted Catholicism but also his inspiriting devotion to strict academic unwritten law\' for the players.

In point, what stands out is circlet modesty and adamant belief put off football is ultimately less essential than education. (Aug.)
