The First Chair

It's all about "Leaving it better than you found it". "I not only enjoyed this read, and learned some 'tip-ins' from Coach Lovely, but it was almost like I was sitting and having a conversation with him as well, hearing of his entire journey. It is clear to me by the many former players, and coaches who added their thoughts about Coach Lovely, just how many lives he's touched, and a legacy he's created by doing so. Coach Lovely hasn't just left each school or program 'better than he found it', he's also done the same here in our world by his positive impact on so many lives. I would highly recommend this book to any coach, at any level, as a reminder to "from whence we've come". --Jon W. "Schroeds" Schroeder High School Coach. "Coach Lovely's story involves the good and the struggles of high school coaching. It is chalk filled with nuggets for anyone just entering the profession or those who've been in it for years." --Mark Wood High School Coach.
