Huddle Book PDF Summary
"This is a very personal book, a shared remembrance, about sports and sons and fathers, about youth and lost youth and teamwork - written by a former little boy who watches his own son captain a school football team. Huddle is about the ultimate home team: the touching story of three generations of one family linked by the game of football. Contrary to some popular notions, Huddle shows that modern male bonding is possible through play, not battle. Indeed, nowhere in this intimate account does anyone incite aggression with "Football is war." Football is, instead, life. The players here are boys. Their guides and mentors are men, who huddle with their eager, padded charges to pass on the rules of life through a game. The task at hand is doing your best, which, like as not, is better than you thought. From that beautifully simple formula comes highly complex behavior: cooperation, daring, open admissions of self-doubt, even creativity. Sometimes winning. Sometimes not." "But more importantly, this is a book about learning how to be a person, and how those lessons are passed from father to son, to son, to son. For the author, the process began on the blurry screen of a tiny black-and-white Dumont television in the 1950s with Ohio State - the good guys - defending their turf. Here was something new. No bats. No bases. It took Dad, the engineer, to disassemble this bizarre and foreign ritual in a kind of Socratic sports seminar. Before long, a young Andrew Malcolm had found his own way into the linebacking corps of the team at high school. And a generation later, other young Malcolm males take to familiar fields to begin the process anew. And so on."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
