Vagabond Life

When it comes to a career in coaching sports there is no teaching without doing-and practice doesn't just make perfect it makes a whole life.<br /><br />In this heartfelt memoir first-time author Thomas H. Peart recounts the story of his experiences growing up in Alexandria Minnesota playing hockey joining the US Marine Corps attending college and eventually entering a lengthy and impressive career as a coach for high school college and professional hockey-both stateside and overseas-alongside a number of other sports. <br /><br />Beginning in childhood and throughout his life all the way up to the moment of his authoring this very book Peart's career as a coach is a testament to the value of learning through experience teaching with care and respect and always remaining open to opportunity. <br /><br />A satisfying slice of life in the postwar American Midwest this book will make a great addition to the shelves of Peart's contemporaries as well as anyone interested in the worlds of amateur and professional sports. Because those who do teach-and those who teach do.
