Goodreads asked Timothy Wahl:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Timothy Wahl From teaching ESL for 32 years and my lifelong passion for American football, a sport I was precluded from playing due to a genetic neurological condition called episodic ataxia (balance and occasional loss of motor control). i found that students learned reading better when it was put into a context they enjoyed. With the growing popularity of American football and my experience and skills in teaching ESL--grammar, reading-vocabulary and the who suite of communications skills, it evolved to the idea I should write a book Actually, this came to me on a dream. I was kind of care free about sharing this idea, for their aren't many out their int eh world with the skills in teaching ESL and very good knowledge of football who could produce a highly ambitious, and really, complex project like this.
