Coach's interactions with these characters make for nonstop humor and inspiration. Call Me Coach is a story of rare experiences of struggle, failure, but ultimately triumph. Alaskans and wrestlers have a common spirit--the spirit of adventure and overcoming all adversity. Call Me Coach is a humorous story of motivation and the spirit of Alaska and wrestling.
