A Book Published by Bob Parsons
This book about the winningest coach in the history of South Dakota high school basketball was written by Bob Parsons and co-authored by Lance (Larry’s only son). The book chronicles Coach Luitjens’ life. You’ll read about his seven state titles, and he will offer several pointers you can implement within any sport. The book is about so much more than wins and losses and championships. The authors use Larry’s 47 years of coaching as lessons. Each season has a character lesson and a summary. These lessons can be used individually (as a coach or a player) as a basis for a team talk, or a discussion for a Coaches Fellowship. The lessons incorporate scriptures with physical, mental, social, and spiritual challenges of sports and life. Coach Luitjens’ positive winning attitude was contagious, and by the time you finish reading, you are sure to be infected as well. The hope is that you will understand no matter what you do for an occupation, you too can be a COACH OF INFLUENCE!
One coach said, “I remember when Coach Luitjens moved to Custer, SD, and put their basketball program on the map! This book is a good read, and I believe, a must-have for any coach’s collection!”
