The end of college football is more than just a milestone, it's a reckoning. As athletes prepare to leave campus life behind, they're forced to confront the harsh realities of their profession.
On the field, coaches and players alike are confronted with an uncomfortable truth: football is not just a game. It's a brutal, high-stress lifestyle that demands sacrifice and dedication. The weight of expectation can be crushing, and the pressure to perform can take a devastating toll on mental health.
Behind closed doors, whispers of substance abuse, concussions, and anxiety have long been lurking in the shadows. But with each victory and each game day, the cracks begin to show. Athletes are being pushed to their limits, their bodies worn down by repeated injuries and wear-and-tear.
This book is a candid exploration of the human cost of college football. It's an investigation into the lives of those who play the game, and the consequences that follow. Through intimate interviews with athletes, coaches, and others involved in the sport, we examine the complex web of pressures, expectations, and sacrifices that define this all-American profession.
