Book excerpt: Acclaimed essayist Mark Edmundson reflects on his own rite of passage as a high school football player to get to larger truths about the ways America's Game shapes its men Football teaches young men self-discipline and teamwork. But football celebrates violence. Football is a showcase for athletic beauty and physical excellence. But football damages young bodies and minds, sometimes permanently. Football inspires confidence and direction. But football instills cockiness, a false sense of superiority. The athlete is a noble figure with a proud lineage. The jock is America at its worst. When Mark Edmundson’s son began to play organized football, and proved to be very good at it, Edmundson had to come to terms with just what he thought about the game. Doing so took him back to his own childhood, when as a shy, soft boy growing up in a blue-collar Boston suburb in the sixties, he went out for the high school football team. Why Football Matters is the story of what happened to Edmundson when he tried to make himself into a football player. What does it mean to be a football player? At first Edmundson was hapless on the field. He was an inept player and a bad teammate. But over time, he got over his fears and he got tougher. He learned to be a better player and came to feel a part of the team, during games but also on all sorts of escapades, not all of them savory. By playing football, Edmundson became what he and his father hoped he’d be, a tougher, stronger young man, better prepared for life. But is football-instilled toughness always a good thing? Do the character, courage, and loyalty football instills have a dark side? Football, Edmundson found, can be full of bounties. But it can also lead you into brutality and thoughtlessness. So how do you get what’s best from the game and leave the worst behind? Why Football Matters is moving, funny, vivid, and filled with the authentic anxiety and exhilaration of youth. Edmundson doesn’t regret playing football for a minute, and cherishes the experience. His triumph is to be able to see it in full, as something to celebrate, but also something to handle with care. For anyone who has ever played on a football team, is the parent of a player, or simply is reflective about its outsized influence on America, Why Football Matters is both a mirror and a lamp.

This book was released on 2022-07-22 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the struggle of the author raising his youngest child and his need for total dependence on his Lord to make it to this point and to meet future struggles. His son was cute and a socialite but also a con artist. McCade was brought up in the church but never really grasped the concept of Christianity. He spent most of his life acting out because he felt abandoned by his biological mother. After having many skirmishes with the law, leading to several placements and jail time, McCade was let out of detention, only to return to his life of crime. Finally, on August 20, 2021, he was arrested and booked for something, which led him to pray through and accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior. The prodigal son had returned to his home. Through all his adventures, his father learned about God’s wrath on his children for their disobedience. God punishes his children because he loves them, and this author learned that the wrath shown to the Israelites was God’s love, not true wrath. And because God never abandoned them or the author when they sinned, how could the author abandon his son?

Download or read book The End of Autumn written by Michael Oriard and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of Michael Oriard's education took place outside the schoolroom of his native Spokane, Washington, during "slaughter practices" on high school football fields. He was taught to "punish" and "dominate," to rouse his school spirit with religion, and to "tough it" through injuries, even serious ones. At the age of eighteen he entered Notre Dame and walked onto the football team, where studying hard was never harder. By his senior year, playing for Ara Parseghian's Fighting Irish, he was the starting center and co-captain of the team. After graduating, he signed with the Kansas City Chiefs and head coach Hank Stram. There he learned what it meant to be "owned." He rediscovered the game as it was played by grown men with families who were still treated like children and who dreaded nothing more than the end of their football careers. And without their fully realizing the consequences, every hard tackle inflicted its injury, some gradually growing into chronic conditions, some suddenly cutting a player's career short and ushering him off the field to be soon forgotten. In this thoughtful narrative, Oriard describes the dreams of glory, the game day anxieties, the brutal training camps and harsh practices, his starry-eyed experience at Notre Dame, and the cold-blooded business of professional football. Told from the inside, the book leaves aside the hype and the pathos of the game to present a direct and honest account of the personal rewards but also the costs players paid to make others rich and entertained. Originally published in 1982, The End of Autumn recounts the experiences of an ordinary player in a bygone era--before ESPN, before the Bowl Championship Series, before free agency and million-dollar salaries for NFL players. In a new afterword, Oriard reflects on the process of writing the book and how the game has changed in the thirty years since his "retirement" from football at the age of twenty-six.

Download or read book Women's American Football written by Russ Crawford and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2022-11 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tackle football has been primarily viewed as a male sport, but at a time when men's participation rates are decreasing, an increasing number of women are entering the gridiron--and they have a long history of doing so. Women's American Football is a narrative history of girls and women participating in American football in the United States since the 1920s, when a women's team played at halftime during an early NFL game. The women's game became more organized in 1974, when the National Women's Football League was established, with notable teams such as the Dallas Bluebonnets, Toledo Troopers, Oklahoma City Dolls, and Detroit Demons. Today there are two main professional leagues in the United States: the Women's Football Alliance, with nearly seventy teams, and the Women's National Football Conference, with eighteen, in addition to a number of smaller leagues. The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics and the NFL have recently begun sponsoring flag football teams at the college level, and the game is growing for high school girls as well. In 2021 more than two thousand girls played on mostly boys' teams, and there are currently four all-girls leagues in the United States and Canada, in Manitoba, Utah, Indiana, and New Brunswick. In addition to the rapid growth of women playing football, there have been advancements in other areas of the game. Beginning with Jennifer Welter in 2015, several women have earned positions coaching the professional game. In 2020 ESPN aired Born to Play, a documentary on the Boston Renegades, the 2019 champion of the Women's Football Alliance. Based on extensive interviews with women players and focusing closely on leagues, teams, and athletes since the passage of Title IX in 1972, Russ Crawford illuminates the rich history of the women who have played football, breaking barriers on and off the field.

The Boy Who Skipped tells three intertwined stories: Jeff Mason auditions for the school play as a favor to his older sister. He is a bright science geek, looking for his place in the universe as well as in the hallways of his school. Lynn Anderson is a gifted actress and cheerleader, seeking something to make her life meaningful in her new rural school far from the suburban life she had expected and the suburban life she feared. And young teacher Carol Caudill is determined to bring the beauty and power of theater to a town that would just as soon live without it...and heaven help anyone who stands in her way. The story is set in a small town in 1970's Eastern Kentucky. Based on real events, it tells stories about how these three people and a group of young actors set out to do what everyone told them was impossible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007, as the fiftieth anniversary of the fight to integrate Little Rock Central High School approached, veteran sportswriter and native son of Little Rock Jay Jennings returned to his hometown to take the pulse of the city and the school. He found a compelling story in Central High's football team, where Black and white students toiled under longtime coach Bernie Cox, whose philosophy of discipline and responsibility and punishing brand of physical football had led the team to win seven state championships. Carry the Rock tells the story of the dramatic ups and downs of a high school football season and reveals a city struggling with its legacy of racial discrimination and the complex issues of contemporary segregation. In the season Jennings masterfully chronicles, Cox finds his ideas sorely tested in his attempts to unify the team, and the result is an account brimming with humor, compassion, frustration, and honesty. What Friday Night Lights did for small-town Texas, Carry the Rock does for the urban South and for any place like Little Rock where sports, race, and community intersect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Torrential Mist, Sean Bellamy Rice Sr. gives voice to painful diseases that many people around the world have experienced and are experiencing right now. Sean's life and his painful memories about his extreme situation and how he dealt with them, I think, will help anyone who finds themselves in traumatic situations. The book covers his life from the time he was twelve years old, all the way until the present. As his big brother, I have known him all his life, and I am in awe of his positiveness in the face of all his pain and disease. Even though he is younger than me, I have to say he is my hero. The book is so compelling and interesting, I could not put it down. Although I haven't gone through what he has experienced, it even encouraged me, with my small problems. I believe anyone who is going through trauma, disease, pain, or even mental anguish will be helped and encouraged, with God, to live a happy and triumphant life by reading Torrential Mist. -Edgar L. Rice IV Sean writes, aEURoeIt was a herculean effort trying to come up with a name for this project, but one day I was reminded of a scripture. This particular scripture has always had a profound impact on my life. In James 4:14, James, the brother of Jesus and the author of the book, reminds us that our life is but a mist that is here for only a little while then vanishes. Consider the anxiety of a pending test or a report that's due or the anticipation of an upcoming wedding or the birth of a child or perhaps the death of a loved one. During these times, life doesn't seem like a mist.aEUR When we are enveloped in those moments, in time you don't think about your mortality. Only when time passes, and you can look back on events that have transpired in our lives can we fully appreciate how true James's analogy was. Life has an uncanny ability to provide us with people, experiences, and circumstances that can turn each and every one of our lives into a aEURoeTorrential Mist.aEUR
