In Cohn-Head, one of America’s most successful female anchors lays bare her hard-fought rise to the top of the sportscasting boys’ club and her life inside the ESPN empire, talks candidly about sports personalities she has met, and reveals her personal top ten lists plus much, much more. After tracing her upbringing in a dysfunctional family, Linda Cohn tells how she became a diehard sports fan and a goalie on her high school (boy’s) hockey team—setting the stage for college hockey stardom, when she was affectionately known as “Cohn-Head” by her teammates. From here she moves on to her first break in sportscasting. Along the way she describes her close encounters with the likes of Michael Jordan, Matthew McConaughey, and Jay Z. Written with verve, Cohn-Head is a riveting read—a must for sports fans male and female alike, as well as anyone who seeks insight into how one woman made a man’s world her own.
