Download or read book Once A Coach written by Mick Peterson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-11-19 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hillsdale is a typical Midwestern town whose high school has a rich football tradition and a favorite eatery, The Cabin. After a long, successful career, Coach Ben Reynolds’ plans to retire after the upcoming season get interrupted when the State Athletic Association, under the direction of newly named assistant Jason Stone, investigates Reynolds over allegations that he illegally recruited a player from Willow Brook High School, Jack Norton. Bubba Brown, whose son Brad had fumbled in a critical playoff game the year before when he had lived in Hillsdale, has moved his son to nearby Valley Forge because he blamed Reynolds for not naming his son co-captain for the upcoming season. Valley Forge is the opening game for Hillsdale, and Brown feels the best way for his son to get a scholarship is to beat Hillsdale and get even with Reynolds. As the investigation continues through the summer, Bubba suddenly returns to Hillsdale one morning to The Cabin to taunt the patrons. When he insults his waitress, Rachel Sawyer, and then Coach Reynolds, his breakfast is dumped on his lap by Jeff Fairchild, a member of the Hillsdale team and a cook at The Cabin. The embarrassed Brown leaves and gets involved in a hit-and-run accident with Coach Reynolds’ wife, Julie. Reynolds is then faced with the challenges of his wife’s recovery, the rumors and innuendos regarding the Norton situation. Also, despite the evidence collected by Stone, the State’s decision forces him to watch the opening game from behind the fence, making him wonder if everything he has worked for has been worth it, while Bubba Brown sits in the Valley Forge bleachers cheering his son. The result of this opening game provides a huge impact on the coach’s future.
Download or read book Football and American Identity written by Frank Hoffmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn the value of football to American society No sport reflects the American value system like football. Visitors to the United States need only watch a game or two to learn all they need to know about the American way of life and the beliefs, attitudes, and concerns of American society. Football and American Identity examines the social conditions and cultural implications found in the football subculture, represented by core values such as competition, conflict, diversity, power, economic success, fair play, liberty, and patriotism. This unique book goes beyond the standard fare on football strategy and history, or the biographies of famous players and coaches, to analyze the reasons why the game is the essence of the American spirit. Author Gerhard Falk, Professor of Sociology at the State University College of New York at Buffalo, examines football as a game, as a business, and as a reflection of the diversity in American life. Football and American Identity also addresses the relationship between football and the media, with much of the game’s income generated by advertising and endorsements, and examines the presence of crime in football culture. The book discusses the development of the game—and those involved in it—at the Pop Warner, college, and professional levels, examining the social origin of players, coaches, cheerleaders, and owners. In addition, Football and American Identity analyzes the game’s fans and their devotion to “their” teams, examines why Pennsylvania is considered the “mother” of American football, and looks at the National Football League and its commissioners. Football and American Identity examines: how individualism and achievement can lead to mythological status why a person’s occupation is the most important indicator of prestige in the United States what the consequences are of earning more in a year than most Americans make in a lifetime why equality is vital to the ethnic make-up of American football teams why teamwork is important-in football and in industry how freedom is essential for taking the risks necessary for success and much more! Football and American Identity is an inside look at football as an American cultural phenomenon. Devoted and casual fans of the game, as well as academics working in sociology, will find this unique book interesting, entertaining, and thought-provoking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noted baseball historian Norman L. Macht brings together a wide?ranging collection of baseball voices from the Deadball Era through the 1970s, including nine Hall of Famers, who take the reader onto the field, into the dugouts and clubhouses, and inside the minds of both players and managers. These engaging, wide-ranging oral histories bring surprising revelations—both highlights and lowlights—about their careers, as they revisit their personal mental scrapbooks of the days when they played the game.
