Life lessons from life stories of football GOATs
It would not be an overstatement to say that Football is not just a sport in the US, it is part of the national pop culture, part of most people's childhood and youthful memories. Fall and winter seasons don’t pass without people engrossed in following football games of their favorite teams. Teenagers, and college kids are particularly interested in this sport and several dream of playing professionally sometime in their future. “For many Americans all over the country, it’s a way of life,” writes the author in the introduction.
Logan Hayes, a comprehensive 132-page information-rich volume titled Inspiring Football GOATs Stories: Amazing Facts and Trivia Questions. Presented as the complete football gift book for kids and teens, this book is full of facts, stories, trivia, and history of the greatest football legends. A book that provides subtle insights and stories peppered with life lessons on building mental toughness, fortitude, courage, and confidence.
I picked this up to gift it to my nephew, an avid football fan and he was thrilled to read the stories of Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Josh Allen, Kurt Warner, and a whole bunch of other football legends. My hope is that he will learn some life lessons such as the importance of discipline, consistency, strength, perseverance, etc. The unique feature of this book is that readers tend to imbibe these lessons without even having to try, the stories instill them as they continue reading the life and times of different football players.
I particularly liked the section titled “Incredible Records that Still Stand” in which Hayes details some of the greatest football moments featuring achievements that are yet to be surmounted. Such as the Jerry Rice’s receiving records over his long career spanning two decades. At 40, Rice played for the Raiders and managed to catch 92 passes for 1,211 yards. Did not this incredible feat of Rice.
This book serves as an instant knowledgebase of football trivia, inspirational stories, and life lessons. I’d say a must read for all football fans, not just teenagers and kids, even adults can come away with a few lessons.
