In the Shadow of the Goalposts - Series

Synopsis:
Arne Viimets loves opera, talks to his dog, and spouts philosophy. He also has a brilliant football mind. Ten years after being fired, he is back on the sidelines, motivated by a desire to regain control and meaning in his life and his marriage, both of which have been devastated by recent tragedy.

Kevin Willister is an undersized walk-on, trying to earn a dressing spot with toughness, heart, and a visceral love of contact. He is floating through university with no idea what he would like to do with his life, other than “make a difference.”

In the Shadow of the Goalposts is the story of two individuals, a coach and a player, both intent on winning, both struggling to maintain a moral compass amidst what they perceive to be the insipid and unguided principles of modern society.

This is college football. Buckle your chinstraps.
