Written in two volumes, these books include 2- and 4-bar rock and
jazz-rock beats designed for the modern drummer. Both books are
designed to develop the drummer's skill in coordinating their hands
and feet. The books also offer the drummer a repertoire of exciting
rhythmic patterns.
Woody Hayes was one of the greatest football coaches in
history---and one of the most fascinating. More than a brilliant
coach, he was a complicated, contradictory man. The former history
teacher ran his football empire as an absolute monarchy, but had a
surprisingly altruistic side, hidden from the public, . and author
John Lombardo uses his extensive sports-writing experience to craft
an accurate portrait of one of the most complex and fascinating
figures in football.
First and foremost, Woody Hayes was a coach---and his achievements
are stunning. While at Ohio State, he won five national titles, and
thirteen Big Ten Conference championships, made eight Rose Bowl
appearances, and earned two national Coach of the Year awards.
Moreover, Hayes's lifetime coaching record, 238--72--10, puts him
in the first rank of college coaching immortals. No other coach won
more games in a shorter period.
Countless interviews of former players, assistant coaches, and
friends shape the image of Hayes and his career, which spanned the
mid-1940s to the late 1970s during a tremendous period of change in
American society. "A Fire to Win" is an honest and revealing
biography of Hayes, a man who ranks in the pantheon of football
coaches. "An easy-to-read, objective look at one of Ohio's most
powerful, complex, admired, feared, and contradictory
figures."
---"The ""Columbus"" Dispatch"
"A sympathetic yet evenhanded examination of a modern coaching
giant."
---"Booklist"
"Insightful and comprehensive biography."
---"The ""New York"" Sun"
"Contradictions, of course, are what make Hayes fascinating. And
Lombardo delves into those contradictions with a cell biologist's
eye for detail and a landscape painter's eye for
perspective."
---Chicago Tribune
