Book Reviews of Education of a Coach, The
Book Review: A waste of Halberstam's ability.
Summary: 1 Stars
It is a measure of just how dull and unintersting a person Bill Belichick seems to be that not even David Halberstam can make him interesting. The trajectory of Belichick's life goes something like this: son of a coach, never wanted to be anything but a coach, surrounded himself with others who wanted to be coaches, became a coach. There just isn't much else there, and without additional insight into his personality, the book is basically an extended version of Belichick's resume. Halberstam's writing is, as always, very readable, but the editing of the book seemed a bit weak. There are several sections that are repeated almost verbatim in different parts of the book. Perhaps when the subject is as dull as Belichick, one has to repeat what few good anecdotes are available to try to make the book more interesting...
