I know you come here expecting X's and O's and specifics about the No Huddle, but today I thought we should take a brief aside to discuss a book. If you are anything like me, reading is a bit of a chore. I would rather do almost anything than read. So the only thing that can keep me reading is football. Two years ago I was given the book Seasons of Life by Jeffrey Marx. I was skeptical, but there was a football on the front and that was enough to pull me in. From there I was pulled in to the story of Marx's journey into HS football and the main character Joe Ehrmann. The book follows the team through a season and looks at the philosophies that guide Joe and his fellow coaches as they seek to mold young men. This was a great read. A must for any coach of any sport. It will profoundly change the way you view your role on the football field and in the end you might find yourself telling your players that you "love them."
