Download Small Puddles: The Triumphant Story of Yale's Worst Oarsman. Ever. AudioBook Free

Small Puddles is approximately rowing, rites of passing, persistence, and trying to find your way. Michael "Zig" Danziger tasks a certain devil-may-care persona. But don't allow the larger-than-life, hail-fellow-well-met tedious fool you - there is a lot more to his report than being given birth to on third base. Zig's strong experience as a Yale oarsman is a research study on the quest itself being the praise. He was never going to help make the first varsity fishing boat, or the next. Not even the third fishing boat. But he worked well his ass off to earn a seats in the fourth fishing boat - and became a Yale Team star. Small Puddles instructs the story of those years at Yale and individuals who formed Zig's one-of-a-kind view of the world. A report of tenacity, willpower, and unrelenting sticktoitiveness. Small Puddles is a heartwarming and amusing memoir, but don't be prepared to hear about what a saint Zig is. He's no saint. And don't expect any syrupy soft-focus vignettes of New England collegiate life. Zig's raucous yarns, spun one after another, are warts-and-all, high-definition windows into the glory times. No punches drawn. Raucous, ribald, absurd, raunchy, loving, and relatable. Small Puddles has plenty for everyone, but anyone who has had the good fortune to yank an oar will feel Zig's pain. Up and down stadium stairs until you can't walk another step? Barfed after crushing an erg part? Pulled a electricity 10? Given a top? Gotten a top? Been up at five a.m. for practice after a big night out? Thought the adrenaline surge at "êtes-vous prêt? Partez!"? Stood on the bank to cheer friends at The Head of the Charles, The Father Vails, Eastern Sprints, Henley? Don't miss this booklet. Liked other rowing catalogs? If you believe you might like a version of Halberstam's The Amateurs coauthored with Tucker Maximum, or you're hoping Quentin Tarantino might lead the film version of The Males in the Sail boat, don't miss this one.
