Book Reviews of Inside the Helmet: Hard Knocks, Pulling Together, and Triumph as a Sunday Afternoon Warrior
Book Review: NFL Wishes Depend On This Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really interesting and exciting book. The audience for this book is people who admire the sport of football and wish to learn more about what goes on in the National Football League. I am personally a die-hard Giants fan and Michael Strahan my favorite player of all time, so I highly enjoyed reading this book. This book talks about what goes on in the NFL on and off the field. Most of this book is in Michael Strahan's perspective of issues between the coaches and players and sometimes the grudges between two or more players. He also talks about what happens during a game and what he thinks during a game. There are many things that happen in the NFL that are surprising, and this book explains what happens. I highly recommend this book if you like football and you dream of being in the NFL.

Summary of Inside the Helmet: Hard Knocks, Pulling Together, and Triumph as a Sunday Afternoon Warrior
Following a magical season that ended in Super Bowl glory, one of the NFL's biggest stars delivers a no-holds-barred, hardhitting hitting account of life in the league.Michael Strahan is one of the NFL's most talented players, and he is also one of the game's most vocal personalities. In Inside the Helmet, Strahan exposes all of the pressure, pain, and glory of life in the NFL, venturing into territory no previous football author has had the nerve to tread.
Bringing the reader right into the middle of the action, Strahan recounts exhilarating victories and reveals the hair-raising details of the ruthless grit required for every win. He gives an honest account of the brutality on the field and the myriad injuries from which he continues to suffer. He describes the relationships among teammates (including an account of his well publicized feuding with Tiki Barber), the practical jokes players use to preserve their sanity and the violent blow-ups that occur when the pressure gets too intense, and the challenges of taking orders from head coach Tom Coughlin and his squadron of assistant coaches.
Strahan also writes about dealing with the relentless media coverage, rabid and demanding fans, and the struggle to live up to a multimillion-dollar salary.
Finally, in two new chapters for the paperback edition, Strahan writes about the ups and downs of a truly sensational 2007 season that saw the Giants overcome the odds to win the Super Bowl. For the millions of rabid NFL fans, Inside the Helmet is an all-access pass into the huddle, the locker room, and the minds of the warriors on the field.
