- Twenty-five celebrated writers share the inspiring words and timeless wisdom of the athletic coaches who changed and influenced their lives and pass on the sage advice they received. Now features a new preface by David Duchovny. "Coach" is one of the most endearing words in the English language.

Swift, Touré, George Vecsey, John Edgar Wideman, and Bob Wolff reveal the experiences, both good and bad, they've had with the athletic coaches who changed and influenced their lives-and pass on the sage advice they received for future generations.
