Description
Larry Csonka's life was marked by audacity and authority on the football field, but also by a free-spirited nature that spilled over into his personal life. In "Head On", he shares the story of how he achieved the legendary Perfect Season with his undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins teammates. From quitting football at a young age to his often-combative relationship with Coach Don Shula, Csonka recounts a life that is colorful and unbridled. He also reveals moments outside the spotlight, including encounters with celebrities like Elvis Presley and Burt Reynolds, as well as early run-ins with the law and experiences in Vietnam. Csonka's authentic voice and storytelling style are insightful, compelling, humorous, vulnerable, and refreshingly frank. This memoir offers a captivating account of grit, grace, and gumption, told by an iconic Hall of Famer who continues to gain ground every day.
