waiting for surgery I typed to ignore the pain, about 80 pages. 8 years
later after ankle surgery I wrote 40 more. In 2009 some of my athletes
suggested I write a book and I told them I already had. The intention
was to write about teamwork, work ethic, friendship and how young
men should treat women. If you are looking for sex and profanity in
this novel, you are out of luck.
