Former Dartmouth and NFL quarterback Jeff Kemp '81 has written a book entitled Facing the Blitz: Three Strategies for Turning Trials into Triumphs.Endorsements for the book on its Amazon page include this from Tony Dungy:
"This book will make a difference in your life. You'll want to read, digest, and reread it. I hope you share it with friends to help them through their own difficulties and to strengthen their important teams, from family to business to sports."And this from William Bennett, former U.S. Secretary of Education:
"Former NFL quarterback Jeff Kemp knows well that blitzes can knock you flat on your back--but if you're prepared, you can beat the blitz for a huge play. In Facing the Blitz, Kemp transforms this on-field knowledge into real-life wisdom, teaching you how to beat the blitzes in your life and turn them into victories."
Dawn Bennett, host of the radio show Financial Myth Busting, did a Q&A with Kemp (LINK) with a debatable assertion by Bennett eliciting a funny response from Kemp:
BENNETT: Jeff, you graduated from Dartmouth, which is more of a hockey school than a football school. How did you wind up in the NFL?
KEMP: That's funny. I did an interview with one of the Wall Street banks when I was at Dartmouth my senior year and they were telling me about the commitment it takes to succeed on Wall Street, the hundred hour week and stuff. They asked, 'Mr. Kemp are you absolutely dedicated to this, is this the number one thing you'd like to do more than anything else?' I said, 'Oh, that'd be great, but actually I'd rather play pro football.' And they said, 'thank you very much, that'll end the interview.'
