About this title

Synopsis

There are countless sports stories and books about how to coach and how to lead. Thank You, Coach is not one of them. Thank You, Coach is a story of the lasting impact great coaching and leadership can have on a person and is told in a sequence of charismatic and heartwarming stories by someone who learned from experience. As a young offensive lineman, author Angus Reid struggled to make it at the professional football level until a full coaching change placed him in the ever-capable hands of Coach Dan Dorazio. What occurred over their 11-year player/coach relationship helped him initially excel on the field as well as later in life. Thank You, Coach is so much more than a sports story. It is a testament to the importance of great coaching and the immeasurable value mentorship can have on a person. It is also a reminder to every coach, teacher, and leader that their instruction extends beyond this moment and can impact how people choose to live their lives in the years to come.

About the Author

From a physical and talent perspective, Angus Reid had no business playing professional football for 13 seasons, earning multiple all-stars and winning two Grey Cup Championships. It was through his relentless determination and the extensive guidance of others that his dream became a reality. Today, he travels North America speaking with companies, schools, and teams about what it really takes to make it and win. His successful TEDx talks, “Why We Need High School Football” and “Mastering the Skill of Trust” have garnered him both praise and respect. Thank You, Coach, is his first book and expands on his never-ending gratitude for the good fortune he has been granted by those who have helped shape his success. He lives in Metro Vancouver with his wife and young family
