A Tribute To Unsung Heroes

Whether you're an athlete, a weekend warrior, or just in need of a little inspiration, there's bound to a story in here that will move you to tears. This book of real-person anecdotes on coaching chronicles the invaluable life lessons a caring coach imparts to his or her kids. Much more than a collection of stories, this book demonstrates the effect one nurturing adult can have on a child throughout his or her life. It is clear that coaches don't just teach you how to chase a ball--they teach you how to play fair, funnel determination, win (and lose) with grace. A wonderful gift for coaches, kids, and sports fans alike.
