Inside Football

Frank W. Cavanaugh

Inside Football is legendary coach Frank W. Cavanaugh's classic treatise on the art and science of coaching college football. Written while he was recuperating from wounds suffered during his military service in France with the United States Army during World War I, Cavanaugh's book remains an essential guide for the aspiring team builder. It is a bona fide sports classic by an old school coach of the old school game. Cavanaugh covers the basics, including uniforms, the player's diet, offense, defense, punting and kicking. He also discusses other rudimentary aspects of player training, some familiar, some perhaps less so, including tackling dummies, grass drills, the run-back and the punt-out. Cavanaugh also shares his personal outlook on coaching the game, how a coach should build and guide a team, and what he considers to be the "mystic nexus" of football. When Frank W. Cavanaugh's Inside Football was first published in 1919, the Washington Post called it "one of the best and most instructive works of its kind that has ever been printed."
