  • Additional Information
    • Abstract:
      Summary: Ot only will these well-crafted guides give future football players a concise overview of each team position, but they're good resources for report writers as well. Each title makes good use of graphics, with well-labeled charts and photos. Terms such as line of scrimmage are defined, and accompanying photos also add further explanation. In simple, straightforward language, each book sets out the basic strategy and goals of different positions. Insets offer interesting facts ("NFL teams look for cornerbacks who can run the 40-yard dash in 4.4 seconds, weigh 180 to 190 pounds, and stand 6 feet (1.8 m) tall or taller"). Volumes conclude with a chapter on good sportsmanship ("Handshakes after the game, helping opponents up off the ground, and following the rules of the game all go a long way towards building respect").
