"When the going gets rough, that's when we like it best. We can do it. Go! Go! GO!" With such challenging words as these, Knute Rockne, football's most famous coach, would inspire his Notre Dame teams to perform incredible feats on the gridiron.
These words serve equally well to describe Rockne's own approach to life, for with the spirited determination and constant drive for perfection he instilled in his boys, this Norwegian immigrant hurdled many obstacles on the road to fame.
Knute Kenneth Rockne enrolled at Notre Dame when he was 22. He remained there for the rest of his days, becoming a brilliant chemistry instructor, a skilled orator, and a devoted family man. But his best-known achievements were in the realm of football.
Here he displayed a fantastic memory, extraordinary ability as a strategist, plus the deep understanding, warm personality, and tremendous sense of humor that endeared him to his players-such men as the Four Horsemen, George Gipp, and the legendary figures of the undefeated teams of 1929 and 1930.
Arthur Daley, celebrated sports columnist for The New York Times, and a Pulitzer Prize winner, has captured in his lively text the magic of Rockne, along with the color and excitement of the Golden Age of Sports.”
