Inhaltsangabe:

"Coach" is one of the most endearing words in the English language. From childhood on, everyone remembers the names of their mentors and coaches--and the powerful advice and encouragement they provided. In this unique collection of original and previously published essays, notable authors and writers Jonathan Ames, Thomas Beller, Ira Berkow, Buzz Bissinger, Christine Brennan, Benjamin Cheever, Bud Collins, Pat Conroy, Frank Deford, John Irving, Jane Leavy, Robert Lipsyte, David Maraniss, Charles McGrath, John McPhee, George Plimpton, Francine Prose, Lauren Slater, Andrew Solomon, Darin Strauss, E.M. 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.
