I am a school counselor and this book is by far the most effective anger managment approach I have ever used with students. They are interested in the football part of it and that part of it alone helps them to learn the skills. The author's no-nonsense "coaching" writing style also helps to give my students a blast of reality. How about a workbook to go with it!

Thank you! I always knew my husband needed to read something on anger but I never wasted my money on a book he would never read. But mixing football with anger management made me think he would go for it and he did - he took one look at the cover and he was willing to give it a try. Now he walks around the house using his same old boring football talk when he's getting angry - who would have thought I would have enjoyed that! I would recommend that every wife with a sports nut husband get this book for him - if for anything for your own sanity.

I purchased this for my 15 year old son who refused to read anything about anger management. We went over the names of the chapters and the first one titled "Opening Kickoff" set the tone and got his attention. He's a football fan and became interested in what the author had to say. It's a start and I would recommend this book to anyone with a son who has an anger problem.

The skills are easily related to boys who are football fans. Very good resource for my bookshelf.

This unique book still remains one of a kind in self-help approaches. Its solution-focused approach with football analogies makes the topic of anger management less threatening to men and boys who really need to learn about it. Please read the following review by Dr. Ed Beck and purchase one today to add this valuable resource to your bookshelf:

"This is a very important book. It takes the most popular sport in America - football - and one of the most pervasive and difficult clinical problems facing society today in epidemic proportions- anger management - and comes up with healthful and helpful strategies and drills to control anger impulses. This is an excellent resource for therapists working with people who consider themselves athletes and sports fans, which many persons with anger management concede is an interest."
