The book reads like a movie script and you feel all the emotion as the hard work and sacrifice begin to pay off in the win column. But this book is also as much about race relations and how Joe Purzycki adapts when he finds himself to be a minority in an environment initially full of resentment. Athletic Director Nelson Townsend draws upon his own life experience facing racial prejudice to help his struggling new coach understand how to deal with this unfamiliar world.
