It's Not About Winning

The Schenectady Gazette's Jack Rightmyer has a new book about the real purpose of sports and sports education, It's Not About Winning: One Runner's Reflections on Fatherhood, Coaching and Athletics (2011).

Amby Burfoot, Editor at Large of Runner's World magazine says, "Jack Rightmyer set out to write a modest memoir for his two children, but he accomplished much more. He wrote a little book that's positively bursting with love for sports, running, coaching, family and fatherhood. Every word rings deep and true."
