One Yard Short- Why I Chose This?

                I chose the book “One Yard Short” by Les Steckel. I do not like reading so for me to read a book is awesome. I am a very picky reader and only like certain types of books. If I read a book it has to be either about sports, or a real life story. So the reason I chose this book was because it is about both.

                When I picked up this book it looked and sounded very good. I know the old saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” well let’s just put it this way, I’m guilty! I did judge this book by the cover but I guess I did a good job. I was intrigued by the title and the picture. But when I turned the book over I was only that much more pulled in. The summary of the book sparked my mind. This book was written by Les Steckel; who was coach at the time of the play that was “One Yard Short.” The book is about his real-life struggle and how he got through it.
