This book reminded me of the great times I have experienced with youth sports, but more than that it is also a very inspirational read. Jeffery Marx writing is remarkable and very touching about the Gillman team and his friendship with Coach Ehrmann. Every father and coach should sit down with this book to be reminded of how we want to be treated , and how we should treat others.

This was a great book and very easy to read. I liked it so much I sent a copy to about ten friends and family members. Jeffrey Marx learns what is important in life, something we all have to decide at some point or another.

I'm fortunate enough to live in the Baltimore area and have heard Joe Ehrmann speak and preach. Knowing he is a thoroughly captivating speaker, I was eager to see if the book would stand up on its own. It more than does -- Jeffrey Marx is an extremely talented and gifted author and captures not only the detail of the story, but also puts into words the emotions of his own journey. The book takes you on a season-long journey with a high school football team and how they are taught to love one another, first and foremost. I was extremely curious how this would be taught within the physicality of football. This is a must read for all coaches, regardless of sport. I have been able to discuss some of the principles in the book with my 8 year old son and 7 year old daughter and I can already see the change in their thinking and behaviors.
In today's "Me, Me, Me" society, this book is a must read to shift our focus from our own self-centered wants and desires to others needs. I've already bought 3 copies and will undoubtedly buy 10 more. Thank you and happy reading -- I hope the book will inspire you as much as it did me.

This is an excellent book filled with many messages on what it means to be a man. Many of my friends and I are so inspired by this book that we have invited the author to our community to speak with our school administrators, teachers, coaches, and teenage boys. Buy it for every father & coach you know; you won't regret it!

I grew up idolizing sports heros. Stumbling on to a job as ball boy for the Colts like Marx did would have been my wildest dream come true. That put me in his shoes right away. What really gripped me though is having an 11 year old son to teach about becoming a good man.
We're mostly amateurs when it comes to teaching kids. Watching the Gilmore coaches through Marx gives the opportunity to see some seasoned veterans at work as they 'send' their young men into the world.
Besides the engaging storyline I found Coach/Father Ehrmann's approach to passing along good values in a secular society very refreshing. I suspect his players' parents did too, regardless of their particular faiths.
This one's a great read for parents, teachers and coaches.
