Synopsis

Taming Mad Dog is a book about raw-bones football from the trenches (ItÕs not for the faint-of-heart), through passionate stories leading to three national football championships; deeper themes emerging in the book include, inclusiveness, bullying prevention, mental health strategies, and spiritual growth. Taming Mad Dog can be read on many different levels; from the novice football fan who wants to refer to the Football 101 Glossary, complete with diagram to increase football understanding; to the veteran fan who wants to experience the gritty street fighting in the trenches of the line of scrimmage. Excerpt from Taming Mad Dog Foreword ÒTaming Mad Dog, takes you on a trip across Canada, a personal journey under the umbrella of a family adventure. Each stop Ð starting over and fitting in Ð household lesson through boxing and the piano Ð gaining momentum while asking the question, Ôwhat would I do differently.Õ Whether one has a hummingbird in hand, or a 150 lbs. dumbbell, Jason proves if you live with a purpose, you can make a difference in the lives of others; his students, his athletes, a loyal restaurant owner, and an ailing teammate. In this book, Jason takes the reader along his journey, from Dartmouth N.S., to Port Moody B.C., playground to the podium, championship rings to championing a cause.Ó - by Patrick Tracey, UBC Defensive Coordinator
