Scoring Points: Love and Football in the Age of AIDS available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Gary Gerson led an uneventful life growing up Jewish in East Tennessee. This changed when he decided to walk onto the Vanderbilt football team with no prior experience, beginning a lifelong love for the game with four years of exhilaration and heartbreak. After juggling the challenges of infatuation, a bowl game, a major steroid scandal and ultimate dishonor at Vandy, Gerson's journeys brought him close to danger in Africa and India, a brush with the Yeti in the Himalaya, and more football in Amsterdam. When he fell in love with Shelley while teaching at the prestigious Cranbrook Kingswood School in Michigan, his journey for meaning took a sharp turn as she revealed her painful secret. Using his wife's triumphs and challenges as motivation, Gerson stepped back onto the football field at the age of 31 in Canada, scoring points along the way to his final personal victory. This book contains frank discussions about sex, relationships, love, AIDS, and death, but it is appropriate for all ages.

Gerson. This book was released on 2012-09. The Worst Season available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Gary Gerson found great success as head football coach at Crownlake, leading his academically-charged team to an unlikely undefeated regular season in 2004. Four short years later, he found himself out as coach, pushed aside by a wealthy and well-connected assistant. The administration was powerless to intervene since the survival of the school was at stake. Alma mater to a Heisman Trophy winner, a Pulitzer laureate, and many giants in technology and the arts, Republican Presidential candidate Mink Rodgers graduated from Crownlake in 1965. While much has changed over the last 50 years, the plight of Crownlake, and all private schools, remains in a fine balance between idealism and solvency. With football is a subtext, this book is about men who take what they want and the institutions that must tolerate them. This true story is Gerson's search for understanding.
