Engaging Read! Slice of Americana,
By
This review is from: Call Us Champions (Perfect Paperback)
Steve Wolfe's two books *Call Me Coach* and *Call Us Champions* are engaging and thought provoking reads with humor, poignancy and excellent descriptive. For those interested in writing on day to day life with emphasis on (though not solely about) the challenges of coaching highschool sports in small town America (and even more specifically Alaska) these books are a must read. I found myself stopping and reflecting alot during my readings of these works as I related so much to them. For those who have read and enjoyed Tom Bodette's essays on life in Homer, Alaska one will find Steve Wolfe's writing comparable in many ways to Mr. Bodette's.

He is a dedicated wrestler as well as being a dedicated coach. Throughout his writings, he also gives you a glimpse into his personal life as a husband and father. The trials and tribulations of living, teaching school, and coaching in the small town environment of Homer, Alaska. The book cover is a picture of the one of his wrestlers, John Neland, following the winning of his State Championship in his senior year at Homer High School. The book is fille |
