I wasn’t sure what I was getting into with this audiobook， but as a fan of the blindside and other motivational stories， I thought I’d give this a chance。 I’m glad I did。 While a lot of it is football stories and plays， which I didn’t totally understand 😂， most of it was relating the discipline and work of the field into use off the field。 Keonon Lowe was a gifted college athlete who found himself coaching at Parkrose high school after trying out assistant coaching in the NFL。 Parkrose had a los I wasn’t sure what I was getting into with this audiobook， but as a fan of the blindside and other motivational stories， I thought I’d give this a chance。 I’m glad I did。 While a lot of it is football stories and plays， which I didn’t totally understand 😂， most of it was relating the discipline and work of the field into use off the field。 Keonon Lowe was a gifted college athlete who found himself coaching at Parkrose high school after trying out assistant coaching in the NFL。 Parkrose had a losing reputation so when he takes over， he has more than just football to teach these boys。 He needs to teach them confidence and how to connect to each other as a team。 Lowe finds a way to inspire them with his no nonsense ways that strike a balance between compassion and toughness that the boys all need since they come from rough upbringings and need to learn that the sum is greater than its parts。 Equal parts Educational， inspirational and motivational， this will speak to anyone who needs a boost and to feel like they’re capable of more than they think they are。 Thanks to Flatiron Books and NetGalley for this audiobook arc in exchange for my review。 。。。more

HOMETOWN VICTORY， by Keanon Lowe & Justin Spizman， is the memoir of Keanon Lowe， a gifted college athlete who fell into coaching after graduation。 He quickly found himself an assistant in the NFL， but found his calling in his mid-20's to become head coach at Parkrose High School。 Parkrose had lost twenty-three straight games when Lowe takes over and Lowe had to find a way to cultivate hope in a group of young men that are accustomed to losing on the field and in life。 As Lowe finds his way as a HOMETOWN VICTORY， by Keanon Lowe & Justin Spizman， is the memoir of Keanon Lowe， a gifted college athlete who fell into coaching after graduation。 He quickly found himself an assistant in the NFL， but found his calling in his mid-20's to become head coach at Parkrose High School。 Parkrose had lost twenty-three straight games when Lowe takes over and Lowe had to find a way to cultivate hope in a group of young men that are accustomed to losing on the field and in life。 As Lowe finds his way as a coach and connects to his players in ways no adult ever has， the Parkrose team begins to shed their past and find that by loving and caring for each other， their team can become greater than all of it's parts。 Lowe finds a beautiful balance between compassion and toughness that few coaches find。 From beginning to end， I found myself completely entranced by this book。 The reader is taken on the journey of head coaching discovery that Lowe is going through as a first timer。 Emotional highs and lows are felt all along the way and those challenges are a lot of fun to read about。 The writers intertwine some thoughts on how to live and how to find happiness。 By the end of the book， I audibly cheered every challenge met and win captured by the Parkrose football team。 Lowe's presence at Parkrose also had another wonderful result described in the book and is the reason why the reader might know his name before reading this book， but I will leave that part for the reader to find。 HOMETOWN VICTORY is written with a soothing rhythm and recreates events with clarity and exacting specificity， but without extra words and unnecessary supplementation that would only bog down the book。 A pleasure to read， this book left a smile on face long after I finished reading it。 Thank you to Flatiron Books， Keanon Lowe & Justin Spizman， and Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review！ 。。。more
