Synopsis
Brian Kinchen was a thirty-eight-year-old husband, father of four, and seventh-grade Bible teacher whose professional football career had been over for three years when the New England Patriots called on December 15, 2003. With the Patriots riding a ten-game winning streak and the playoffs only a few weeks away, they needed a fill-in for the obscure but vital job of snapping the ball for their punter and kicker a long snapper. Brian had received similar invitations to tryouts that yielded only disappointment the teams always went with a younger guy. But could he really turn away from the chance of a lifetime? The Long Snapper chronicles Brian's remarkable journey as he and the Patriots seek the ultimate trophy. Unfortunately, the dream come true turns into a personal nightmare as Brian struggles both on and off the field, and the pressure to perform on the biggest stage in professional sports nearly causes him to walk away. Seven weeks after leaving the classroom, however, Brian overcomes his greatest fear and snaps the ball on the historic game-winning field goal with only seconds left in the Super Bowl. As told by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jeffrey Marx, The Long Snapper is the story of a man who finally achieves the success he has always wanted. Brian Kinchen's championship ring is a powerful status symbol for all to see. But his journey forces him to reexamine what really matters, and he realizes the true measure of a man has nothing to do with status: life is not about prestige; it is about passion and purpose. It is about impacting the lives of others.

Paperback. Condition: Good. "Jeffrey Marx has done it again, only better than ever. Thoughtful and inspiring, The Long Snapper is a quite simply a joy to behold." -- Chicago Sun-Times From seventh-grade Bible teacher to Super Bowl champion: the extraordinary true story of one man's improbable second chance at greatness. When the New England Patriots called Brian Kinchen in December 2003, he was thirty-eight years old, three years removed from professional football, and settled into life as a husband, father of four, and middle school Bible teacher. Then Bill Belichick came calling. Seven short weeks later, Kinchen snapped the ball on Adam Vinatieri's legendary game-winning field goal in Super Bowl XXXVIII, one of the most dramatic finishes in NFL history. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Marx brings readers inside the Patriots' dynasty era and Kinchen's story--as much about faith and family as it is about football--with nail-biting detail, delivering an intimate portrait of an athlete who found meaning beyond the game. For the hundreds of thousands of readers who made Marx's Season of Life a beloved classic, and for anyone drawn to second-chance stories, The Long Snapper is an essential read, a gripping, against-all-odds story that asks: What does it mean to live with purpose? And what happens when life gives you one more chance to find out? Seller Inventory # 00040241449
