Drawing on his years of playing football in high school and college as well as the National Football League, one of the game's outstanding players reveals how everyone can play at the top of their ability. He analyzes and explains the essential skills players need. Breaking down the action into the passing game and the running game, he gives expert tips for every position, based on his own experience and that of many of his famous team-mates. An honoured member of American football's Hall of Fame, Joe Namath is widely recognized as one of the greatest players in the game's history. An outstanding quarter-back, he was the first to pass for 4,000 yards in a season, and his MVP performance in Super Bowl 111 lead the underdog New York Jets to one of the competition's most stunning victories. Several times during his career he was chosen for the "All-Pro Team". For the past 16 years Namath has been teaching the game at his famous football camp. He has also been an actor, broadcaster and writer since his retirement from football.
