This review is from: Call Me Coach: Lessons Learned in 40 Years on the Sidelines (Hardcover)
George Baldwin is a real coach and an excellent man. I knew him in my days at Kutztown and appreciate his humor and his honest nature. If there were more like him you would never see the tantrums from the T.O's of the world!

Buck 39,
By Rich (Bing) Pecoraro (Springfield, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Call Me Coach: Lessons Learned in 40 Years on the Sidelines (Hardcover)
I really enjoyed Coach Baldwin's book. As a former "Maroon Raider," I was riveted to his detail accounts of his experiences in Englewood, NJ. Buck 39 was the first play we learned as seventh grade newcomers to organized football. Coach Baldwin showed us exactly what was expected of each player and then we executed the play. If any player deviated from what we were instructed to do, the coach was sure to let us know the proper technique. As young kids, we carried that relationship all through high school. Coach Baldwin was more than "on the sidelines." He was in our hearts and minds! I can still hear his voice when he would catch me trying to trap instead of pull from the right guard position. Future coaches, parents and kids will benefit from reading this book as a reference to what it takes in life to really make a difference in the lives of other people.
