Lasting Impact

One Team, One Season. What Happens When Our Sons Play Football

Beschreibung

"At the high end of America's most popular game is the glittering NFL, a fan-stoked money machine and also an opaque enterprise under scrutiny for the physical dangers imposed on its players. Then there's high school football, unrivaled for the crucial life lessons it imparts--discipline, leadership, cooperation, humility, perseverance--yet also a brain-rattling, bone-breaking game whose consequences are at best misunderstood, and, at the very worst, deadly. What is the parent of a young athlete to make of that?"--Dust jacket flap.
