F° the past ten years, ‘Bernie’? Bierman has been one of the
country’s outstanding football coaches, turning out winning teams
with amazing regularity. In this practical manual, the famous mentor
describes how he whips his raw football material into the finished,
balanced elevens which he always sends on the field. It is written to
appeal to coaches and players, and also to interested fans. It deals
primarily with strategy and technique.

Bierman describes his methods of teaching fundamentals such as block-
ing, passing, kicking, training, plans of battle, etc. All important points
are fully illustrated with diagrams and photographs. The author
stresses particularly the creation of successful offensive and defensive
plays. A detailed schedule for an entire season’s practice is included.

The book represents a new approach and pays full attention to modern
advances in the game, including material and topics never before pre-
sented in such a volume. There are chapters on the physical and mental
conditioning of players, and on the value of the game in the light of
modern society. The reader will get an entirely new viewpoint on foot-
ball as seen through the eyes of probably the ablest coach of football
today.
