An Improvised Moment of Glory

There’s a beautiful story about great jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis in The Atlantic Monthly written by David Hadju. In the article, Hadju described a time that he was at the Village Vanguard & watched Marsalis play, “I Don't Stand a Ghost of a Chance With You.” When Marsalis reached the climax of the song, he began playing the final phrase of his performance when someone's cell phone went off, fully wrecking the moment. Marsalis paused, put his trumpet down at his side & after a few seconds he took the rude interruption & did something amazing.

My First Coach: Untold Stories of NFL Quarterbacks and Their Dads by Gary Myers

In his book, My First Coach: Untold Stories of NFL Quarterbacks and Their Dads, author Gary Myers writes “Tom Brady’s father is an estate planner. Jim Harbaugh’s father had a long career as a college coach. Archie Manning played 14 years in the NFL and never made the playoffs, but his sons Peyton and Eli won a combined four Super Bowls. Joe Montana is considered by many to be the greatest quarterback of all time, but his two sons bounced around college football with limited success. Jameis Winston’s father supported his family working overnight highway construction in Alabama. Derek Carr’s father moved the family to Houston after Derek’s older brother, David, was drafted by the Texans…There is more than one way to raise a quarterback. Some fathers want to be involved in every aspect of their sons’ athletic lives. Some like to coach. Others take a step back. Even others are overbearing—confronting coaches and complaining about playing time. Indifference is not a trait I found in football fathers. Indifference is not what their sons wanted.” My First Coach tells the compelling, real-life stories of some of the country’s most famous quarterbacks and how they took advantage of or overcame their relationships with their fathers.
