The book that I am reading is called GYM CANDY. At the beginning of the book Mick’s dad made Mick start school one year late because he wanted Mick to have an upper hand on the team so he would be bigger faster and stronger than all the other running backs on the team. Mick’s second year playing tackle football there was a new coach. The coach didn’t like Mick’s dad that much because Mick’s dad made the coach look like a fool because Mick’s dad played running back ran over the coach who played on the other team and ran him over to score the winning touchdown.
So during practice he would make Mick be the model and do everything the coach wanted him to do and he would make Mick be the tackling dummy sometimes. One day after practice when his dad picked him up Mick said he wanted to quite football. But the dad said that he shouldn’t because you will have coaches that yell and make you do things you do not want to do so just get use to it. Then when Mick was a freshmen in high school after his football season ended he got a call from the Varsity coach asking if he wanted to practice but not garneted to be playing on the team. Mick said yes and he and two of his friends went to practice in the spring not knowing what will happen.
