Football is the only thing that has ever really mattered to Mick Johnson, who works hard for a spot on the varsity team his freshman year, then tries to hold onto his edge by using steroids, despite the consequences to his health and social life. - HoughtonâLook, Mick,â he said, âyouâre going to find out from somebody in the gym, so you might as well find out from me. Those supplements youâre taking? They might get you a little bigger, but just a little. If youâre after serious results, thereâs other stuff that produces better results much faster, stuff that a lot of guys in the gym use.â âWhat other stuff?â âYou know what Iâm talking aboutâgym candy.â
Runningback Mick Johnson has dreams: dreams of cutting back, finding the hole, breaking into the open, and running free with nothing but green grass ahead. He has dreams of winning and of being the best. But football is a cruel sport. It requires power, grace, speed, quickness, and knowledge of the game. It takes luck, too. One crazy bounce can turn a likely victory into sudden defeat. What elite athlete wouldnât look for an edge? A way to make him bigger, stronger, faster?
This novel explores the dark corners of the heart of a young football player as he struggles for success under the always glaringâand often unforgivingâstadium lights.
