In this revised edition of \u003ci\u003eWhen the Game Stands Tall\u003c\/i\u003e,  author Neil Hayes, who had unrestricted access to the De La Salle team, writes from  the inside about the games, the players, and their visionary coach, Bob Ladouceur,  who managed to amass the highest winning percentage in football history (.995) through  standing for something greater than winning. The book, which also features interviews  with major sports figures like Bill Walsh and John Gruden, is a revealing portrait  of the coach who believed above all in instilling basic life skills where winning  is not the goal, but merely the byproduct of playing the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Streak had become  a national story long before it ended in September 2004. In this revised paperback,  Neil Hayes catches up on the lives of the main characters and takes readers through  the final tumultuous year. What results is a timeless and inspirational story of  struggle, tragedy, and triumph.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"North Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44214356377855,"sku":"9781583941300","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781583941300_s600x595.jpg?v=1775591440","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781583941300","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
