Synopsis

When John Kaminsky graduated from high school in Republic, Pennsylvania, in 1954, he found himself at a crossroads. Limited by his choices-and not wanting to be a coal miner-Kaminsky decided to join the Army. He eventually got a job supervising the gymnasium at a base in Frankfurt, Germany, and became a basketball and softball coach in what was to become a long, storied career. When he headed home after three years of service, Kaminsky didn't have to think too hard about what he wanted to do: he'd go to college, play basketball, and become a coach.

In The Real Coach K, Kaminsky tells how he achieved his dream of becoming a successful player and launched a coaching career that has spanned various sports, including basketball, baseball, and golf. From his days at Chillicothe High School in Pennsylvania to Millersport High School and The Ohio State University at Newark, Kaminsky celebrates his successes, reflects on his failures, and tells of all the lessons he learned that still apply today.

The Real Coach K is an inspiration to anyone who aims to accomplish his or her dreams while besting the competition along the way.
