Finally got around to reading this book about the 96/97 record breaking UNI-DOME finale season. I would highly recommend H.S coaches get a copy of this as an off season must read for coaches and their kids. It's been around a long time but it's a timeless and inspirational insight to the comradery between wrestlers and their coach and teammates. Gable studied every kid's strength and weakness, on and off the mat, and coached each wrestler as individuals. It personally fired me up dealing with regular life stuff.

I know one thing for sure, I'll never forget some of the amazing moments of that year, and how much fun my Dad and I had cheering them on at the Big 10s and nationals.

My butt still hurts from those metal bleachers. (The cushions we bought hang in my "wrestling corner".)
 
If they make a movie of this book who would they cast to play Gable ? What about the rest of the cast ? Thoughts ?
