Funny and Heart-warming

This is a great book! Its intended audience in not only fans of wrestling. This is a lively, family-oriented tale that EVERYONE will enjoy. You'll find yourself laughing out loud as Steve Wolfe weaves his story of living and coaching in Alaska. I recommend this book to old and young alike.

A great read for wrestlers and non-wrestlers alike.

Steve Wolfe does a wondeful job of captivating not only the idiosyncrancies of the sport of wrestling, but the essence of the human spirit. I found myself lauging out loud of some of the humerous events within the book and appreciate having this coach share his experience with up and coming coaches like myself.

Call Me Coach

This book kept me in stitches. I couldn't put it down until the wife told me to turn out the lights. I haven't enjoyed reading a book like this since "All Creatures Great and Small". "Call Me Coach" is very much like that series and it is well written. I loved it.

Homer AK

Incredible but true stories about the End of the Road, Homer Alaska. Mom said folks move here so they can dress funny...I want to add, act just as funny. Just as incredible are the dedicated teachers/coaches/philosophers/that ready our youth to succeed. My son, son-in-law, and two nephews are examples of the wisdom of their wrestling years with Coach Wolfe....Thank you, Coach

A Must Read!!!

Steve Wolfe knows his stuff when it comes to coaching and wrestling. This book would entertain the most avid wrestler all the way to a beginner. This is not only a excellent and fun book for those interested in wrestling but those interested in how it is to raise a family in Alaska. Wolfe writes about his young family in a way that makes you want to read more. Thanks for a wonderful book.
