Summary |
"Born and raised just fifteen minutes from old Three Rivers Stadium, it was in Crafton where the foundation of Cowher's work ethic, passion for teaching, and love of football and the Pittsburgh Steelers were built. Here Cowher takes readers on his journey from childhood to the undersized North Carolina State linebacker, to fighting for a spot with the Browns and Eagles, before injuries ended his playing career. He shares never-before-told anecdotes and candid thoughts on the biggest games, players, and moments that defined his fifteen-year Steelers tenure"--Adapted from jacket |
