1: cohn-head rev
This book was a good read. I admire Linda's honesty and her conviction to her career.
She should be proud of want she has accomplished.
|
2: Linda is very down to earth
I was able to meet Linda in person on a Disney Cruise. She is very down to earth and inspirational. It was great meeting a woman who is a great inspiration for others.
|
3: Linda bares all for her fans...
COHN-HEAD is a candid look into the life of Linda Cohn as a woman, a mom and a female in the "Boys' Club" of sports, ESPN.
I shared in Linda's trials and triumphs as she made her way into the male dominated world of sports casting and contending with the "jock" ego.
For those interested in an entertaining behind the scenes look at a TV anchor woman's life in the world of sports from a knowledgeable, intelligent woman who bares all for her fans, this is the read for you.

4: Linda Cohn is a real person
I've been watching SportsCenter almost daily since 1993 (college). Linda Cohn has been my favorite anchor since 2000-ish because she exudes humanity and an appreciation for sports without any overt attempts at being too cool for school. This book carries the same tone. My wife and I met her at a local signing - Linda was as generous and open as we had expected.

5: VERY ENTERTAINING!
I was so excited when I received my copy of this book, that I couldn't wait to read it! Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down!
Cohn-Head is a very motiviational & inspirational book. Linda teaches us that once you realize your dream, keep going for it! Don't let obstacles stand in the way. I saw a little bit of myself in Linda, and flashed back on my own career, and how I achieved my dream with lots of determination, even when I thought I coudn't get there!
Linda kept me laughing through quite a few parts of the book - My mind is still boggled by the fact that her duaghter was once too young for a babysitter, but not too young to see Roseanne Barr! She also touched our hearts a little bit by delving into her personal life, telling about her not-so-perfect childhood, to her own struggles with relationships as an adult. Yet, through it all, she remained strong, and kept a smile on her face.
This book adds a little more personality, and gives that human touch to the Sportscaster we watch on a regular basis.....even if she is a die-hard Mets fan!
