“Ironically, it was at Penn State where I discovered how much academics, not just football, mattered to me.”
-John Urschel I am excited to write about this book because it covers math and football. Before we go on to who John Urschel is, let us think about how in the world math and football relate to each other. In football, we use math. We use numbers, distance, time, statistics, and the metric system. Even on the football field there are numbers that represent the yards. That is math! Though some people like sports but hate the subject, everything requires math. John Urscehel is a mathematician, a PhD candidate at MIT who graduated from Penn State, and a former offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens. This book is a memoir where John Urschel explains about his life and passions. He also explains how math and football are related. In my words, I think he put this book in his own perspective. I think the theme of this story that it teaches and motivates its readers to be successful. John Urschel has a an intriguing life background that makes the book interesting. The way he connected math and football together was a masterpiece! I would highly recommend to everyone who reads this blog to read and check out this book. Even if you don’t know anything about football. Urschel does a great job of explaining. “Ironically, it was at Penn State where I discovered how much academics, not just football, mattered to me.”-John Urschel
