Taking a look at the coaches and their impacts in these separate local communities in North Carolina is a wonderful glimpse into why we love amateur sports competition. When college sports is becoming increasingly about big business and marketing, author Stuart Albright demonstrates just how significant an impact that dedicated prep coaches can have on the fabric of their communities when they are committed for the long term.

Stuart Albright has produced a collection of well written stories of nine different NC communities and the challenges they face on and off the field. Albright, himself a high school football coach and English teacher, talked to influential coaches and leaders of various towns and high schools to discover how high school football helped shape and lead young men.
