In A Coaching Life, Coach Blair offers readers a ""freeze-frame"" view of a storied career. He serves up more than a few of his favourite memories with wit, grace, and humility. In the process, he invites readers to reflect on life's wins and losses and, most importantly, what both have to teach us.
This memory and countless others form the greatest treasure of Coach Blair’s life, as he makes clear in this engaging, inspiring memoir, written with veteran sports journalist and author Rusty Burson. Indeed, as Blair says, “What I cherish the most are the memories of these players and coaches.” Beyond the trophies, beyond the impressive won-lost record compiled over more than four decades of coaching, beyond even the ungrudging professional respect he has achieved among his peers in a fiercely competitive occupation, Gary Blair values the images, moments, and memories collected during a life spent doing what he loves most: coaching and mentoring young women on the basketball court.
