The final book in the series looks at playing the game and deals
with the difficult issue of winning and losing. The best use of
this book and the first two books is in conjunction with parents or
teachers.
Each of us has challenges, obstacles and situations to overcome.
Some, more than others. Until we can step into the lives of others,
it is difficult to appreciate the opportunity that our own
situation offers. This story is my own story. I never knew that it
was in any way "inspiring" to others. My wife, Teri has always used
me as an example to others what perseverance, guts, and character
can do in overcoming difficulties. She has always wanted me to tell
my story as a testament to the power of individual will. As I
reflected on the elements that have shaped me, most of them
occurred when I was very young. As accurately as possible, based on
my own recollections and from information given to me by my
relatives, I tell my story to you, kind reader. I have a passion
for track and field, for running. I also have a passion for
coaching. Not until I finally put in writing my experiences, have I
understood the real underlying reasons for wanting to coach. I hope
you can use my story as encouragement.
