"When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi" by David Maraniss is a comprehensive biography that delves into the life and legacy of the iconic football coach. Published by Simon & Schuster in 1999, this hardcover book spans 544 pages and offers readers a detailed account of Lombardi's coaching career, focusing on his impact on football and the principles he upheld. With illustrations included, this book is a must-read for fans of sports and biography enthusiasts alike, providing a deep insight into one of the most successful coaches in football history."
SynopsisBy the time he died of cancer in 1970, after one season in Washington during which he transformed the Redskins into winners, Lombardi had become a mythic character who transcended sport, and his legend has only grown in the decades since. Many now turn to Lombardi in search of characteristics that they fear have been irretrievably lost, the oldfashioned virtues of discipline, obedience, loyalty, character, and teamwork. To others he symbolizes something less romantic: modern society's obsession with winning and superficial success. In When Pride Still Mattered, Maraniss renders Lombardi as flawed and driven yet ultimately misunderstood, a heroic figure who was more complex and authentic than the stereotypical images of him propounded by admirers and critics.
