Title: Very poor book!!!
Product review: The author makes a few valid points about coaches who want to win at all costs, but, his logic is flawed. Boys are naturally competitive and want to win. This book personifies exactly what is wrong with politically correct youth sports today. When the score is kept the object is to win. Certainly, not at all costs, but to win nevertheless. He left out the most important element of football and that is teaching life lessons, which if taught properly will stay with them forever. Life lessons such as never quiting, mental toughness, desire, teamwork, guts and pride. Its my experience that when these things are tought properly in a positive, fun environment kids will have fun and win. Norton thinks all kids should play equally. What does that teach the better kids, if you stink and give no effort you play the same as me, so why should I try harder. And to put the kids in who don't deserve the playing time it cheapens the reward. This book is way to MAMBY PAMBY. Dont waste the money.
