Coach: Lessons on the Game of Life
Coach: Lessons on the Game of Life | Michael Lewis
2 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
The coach's message was not simply about winning, but about self-respect, sacrifice, courage, and endurance. In some ways, and even now, thirty years later, Lewis still finds himself trying to measure up to what Coach Fitz expected of him.

A short essay about how a good teacher /coach can help shape a kid's life and a look at how nowadays parents are reluctant to push their kids into the uncomfortable.

Strong, novella-length (what's the nonfiction version of a novella? a long-form essay?) examination of Lewis's high school coach and the way parental expectations of easy lives for the children impacts his career. I've become quite a fan of Lewis's work, and this encompasses so many of the qualities that make his writing so great.

UnabridgedPod There's a consideration of the state of the world, an acknowledgment of what we've lost, and a serious analysis of the reasons behind the changes. I highly recommend Coach: Lessons on the Game of Life. 6y
