There was a turning point in Michael Lewis' life, in a baseball game when he was 14 years old. The irascible and often terrifying Coach Fitz put the ball in his hand with the game on the line and managed to convey such confident trust in Lewis's ability that the boy had no choice but to live up to it. "I didn't have words for it then, but I do now: I am about to show the world, and myself, what I can do." The coach's message was not simply about winning but about self-respect, sacrifice, courage, and endurance. In some ways, and now 30 years later, Lewis still finds himself trying to measure up to what Coach Fitz expected of him. 650 0 $a Baseball coaches $z New Orleans $z New Orleans $v Anecdotes. 600 10 $a Lewis, Michael $q (Michael M.) $x Childhood and youth. 650 0 $a Conduct of life. 655 0 $a Audiobooks. 856 40 $u http://wilbor.lib.overdrive.com/ContentDetails.htm?ID=B2632C27-ACDE-4868-91C2-5E10692017E3 856 4 $3 Excerpt $u http://excerpts.contentreserve.com/FormatType-25/1191-1/105186-Coach.wma 941 $a 1 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20110309010908.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DE20983E3A6311E09BD62DC26AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b JINInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
