A study in tactics between two top American football coaches before 'the big game'.
Co-produced by Time-Life Broadcasts and Drew Associates
(First transmission on BBC-2)

Most people would agree that Americans take sport much more seriously than the British, and because of that they tend to do better. But are they made happier by the extraordinary dedication they bring to planning and striving for victory? Tonight's Living Camera documentary examines this question in terms of a 'needle' football match between two Florida high-school sides. Effectively, this is a duel between the coaches, Mooney of Miami High and Fowle of Edison High.
The camera follows the two coaches through the week before the match, watches tactical conferences and practice sessions, and reveals the different practical and psychological methods favoured by each man. At the end comes the game itself.
