However, the book is far more than that. Preston Pearson, after an exciting intro depicting the story of the famous Super Bowl III game he played in, takes the reader on a fascinating journey through his life. As I read of Pearson's upbringing, I am inspired by the accounts of hard work, sacrifice, and struggle that he and his parents experienced. This man didn't even play college football, yet was drafted by an NFL team! There are a lot of books out there written by former top collegiate athletes who received bulging contracts and went on to NFL stardom. This book depicts the unglamorous, intriguing story of a rugged competitor who learned what it took to succeed in pro football. And, unlike many other players, he showed wisdom in preparing for life after football. His narrative is well written, honest, and quite candid (he admits to asking himself several times if the pain of playing in the league was really worth it). Pearson also shares some inside stories and vivid descriptions of several star teammates he played with over his long career. As you read Pearson's narrative, you will find principles that you can apply to your own life. You will see the price he paid to eventually reach a place of prominence in football--and how that price would adversely affect his own family. I think you will find this book a great pleasure to read."; 9.2 X 6.1 X 1.3 inches; 303 pages .

About Dr. Bookman - All Books Tightly Packaged in Cardboard
We have an eclectic array of used and out of print books for you in our inventory. Service is key to our relationship with you. You get \"Old School\" service with Dr. Bookman. We can\'t look at each other in the eye, shake each others hand, or walk into the shop the next day if we\'re disatisfied. I understand that vulnerability. You are purchasing a product sight unseen. That means I must be honest with you about exactly what you are buying. You might find my descriptions more detailed than most others, but when purchasing online, I want you to know exactly what you\'re buying. I don\'t want you to feel surprised when you open the box. And by the way, almost all of our books are shipped in cardboard packaging designed just for books. That means you get it the way it left here.
