* InTouch Magazine *

what O'Brien captures so well is the aura of the game. He handles with aplomb the sheer fun of playing a game with grace … O'Brien doesn't avoid the bumps in the road but invests the story with a lightness that suggests not pursuing daunting projects is more burdensome than marching straight into them. A joyful approach to sports … and a salute to the importance of understanding history
