The Red Room: My Baseball Memoirs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781532014345)

High school baseball isn't just all fun and games. From selecting team members and organizing practices to all the drama of game day both on and off the field, having success in high school sports takes commitment, preparation, and hard work. And for the student-athletes to have success, it takes a dedicated coach to lead them forward.

In The Red Room, author and coach Tom Guzick provides a behind-thescenes look at his thirty-one-year career coaching high school baseball, and he shows how his inspirational job of coaching has evolved over the years. Focusing on his time as the coach for the Pottsville Area High School JV baseball team and chronicling the journey along the way, Coach Guzick takes you into the coaching room and through practices, travels, and games so you can see what it takes to help student-athletes both grow and mature on the field, in the classroom, and in life.

High school sports is as much about winning the game as it is about winning at life and being successful with the tools learned. Coach Guzick's chronicle of six hundred games, three hundred bus trips, and more than twelve hundred practice sessions will help student-athletes, coaches, and sports fans recognize all the dedication and hard work that go into hitting a home run.
