A Sidelined Coach

Inspired by the young people he has coached over the years, this unique memoir of Coach John White's life was designed to show learning moments along with a bit of his family's history. The story contains events and people from a life centered around sports, so most of the book revolves around things he learned along the way as a player and a coach. He uses anecdotes to promote life lessons through sports, and shows how athletes can reach success by overcoming obstacles.
