Goals: The Life of Knute Rockne is a biography written by Huber William Hurt that tells the story of one of the most legendary figures in American football history. Knute Rockne was a Norwegian-American football player and coach who revolutionized the game of football with his innovative strategies and coaching techniques. He is best known for his tenure as head coach of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team, where he led the team to five national championships and helped establish the university as a football powerhouse. The book chronicles Rockne's life, from his early days growing up in Norway and his family's immigration to the United States, to his time as a student-athlete at Notre Dame and his eventual rise to coaching fame. Hurt provides a detailed account of Rockne's coaching philosophy and tactics, including his famous shift formation, which helped Notre Dame dominate opponents in the 1920s and 1930s.The book also delves into Rockne's personal life, including his marriage to his wife Bonnie and their family life, as well as his involvement in other sports and his contributions to the aviation industry. Throughout the book, Hurt paints a vivid picture of Rockne as a man of integrity, hard work, and dedication, who left an indelible mark on American football and inspired generations of players and coaches.Overall, Goals: The Life of Knute Rockne is a fascinating and comprehensive biography that offers a unique perspective on one of the most influential figures in American sports history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
