Book
Out of the pocket : football, fatherhood, and College GameDay Saturdays / Kirk Herbstreit ; with Gene Wojciechowski.
The face and voice of college football, in this riveting and revealing memoir, takes readers behind the scenes, describing how a combination of hard work, perseverance and a little luck landed him on the set of ESPN's iconic College GameDay.
"A powerfully intimate, plainspoken memoir about fathers and sons, fortitude, and football from the face and voice of college football, Kirk Herbstreit. Kirk Herbstreit is a reflection of the sport he loves; a reflection of his football-crazed home state of Ohio, where he was a high school star and Ohio State captain; and a reflection of another Ohio State football captain thirty-two years earlier: his dad, Jim, who battled Alzheimer's disease until his death in 2016. If there's a string that runs the length of Herbstreit's life it is indeed family, fatherhood, and, of course, football. Jim passed the love of the game on to Kirk, who passed it along to his own sons. Now, for the first time, Kirk will pass along his story to other fathers and sons; to parents, players, and fans everywhere. Herbstreit will share his life -- the dark moments, the trying moments, the triumphant moments, and the moments that define who you are and what you can become." -- From publisher's description.
