Description
More than the Game is a fictionalized memoir in which Coach Warrington finds himself struggling. At the end of another long season, he’s lost the locker room after several defeats. Worried about his team’s record, he vents at his players, saying that they should “commit to getting bigger, stronger, and faster, or they might as well quit.” When the Titans lose their final game, the school’s athletic director suggests that Coach Warrington meet with a mentor to improve the program’s culture. At first, Warrington is offended—he can’t admit to needing help, but he also can’t resist the opportunity to regain his edge, so he agrees to meet once a week with Mitchell McClellen, a retired teacher and ball coach. Mitchell shares his three-phase formula for winning: The Process of the ‘Ship. Coach Warrington learns to view success as more about legacy than just winning. Can Coach Warrington heed his mentor’s advice and change his program forever?
