The Education of a Coach - Hardcover

"Halberstam may be the first serious author--at least since Buzz Bissinger wrote Friday Night Lights--to capture what so many of us have known for years, but have never quite figured out how to say properly. Football is the new baseball. . . . And by telling Belichick's story, Halberstam has found the perfect metaphor for this theory."--The Baltimore Sun

"David Halberstam is a thorough storyteller, writing in prose both elegant and simple. Grade: A-"--Entertainment Weekly

"A fast-paced read by one of America's greatest nonfiction writers. Buy it to learn about the coach. Read it to learn from the writer."--Cleveland Plain Dealer

"Belichick to Halberstam may be football's best combination since Montana to Rice."--Bob Costas

"If you want to learn about schooling and allegiance and leadership and, most of all, football, by all means--slip inside the sweatshirt."--Wall Street Journal

"Halberstam takes the classic sports-bio formula--one stellar performer's rise to the pinnacle of American sport--and transforms it into a nuance-rich story of individual triumph and social history."--Booklist

"In describing the triumph of 'an unadorned man, ' a coach without artifice, Halberstam has created a tale of excellence."--New York Times Book Review
