CRACKBACK

this book could probly relate to alot of kids that are in high school and that play sports even if its not football. in this book Miles(main character) father is a little crazy when it comes to his kids and sports. he is constantly getting at Miles for all the little things he does during a game, and never pointing out the positives. Miles also faces very difficult problems besides just his dad getting on to him for every little thing he does. His friends are starting to experiment with steroids and he is offered some. Also his coach gets cancer and is forced to quit coaching so the back up coach is now the head coach. The problem is the new coach has no idea what he is doing, he gets nervous, and loses it alot of the time, and takes it out on his players. Miles for example makes one bad play and he is no longer a starter because of it. and his backup is clearly not as good as he is. so you should read this book to find out how Miles reacts to all of these problems. Does he take the steroids? Does him and his father work things out? Does he continue to play football for the new coach?
