Teachers are superheroes, coaches too! In fact, anyone who has answered the call to put service over self has signed up for a life of heroism without the cape. I know you work tirelessly trying to direct and redirect lives. This book is a battery pack that refuels your passion in the heat of battle. A discovery of empathy and care. It's the quiet whisper in your ear needed most when you are challenged most. And all heroes are challenged at some point. As an Assistant Principal, Athletic Director, and President of two non-profits benefiting youth, I have spent a lifetime on the frontlines clashing with all the reasons why our passionate call to inspire young minds fizzle and burnout. At one point we all cared. From standards to politics, lack of support to work overload, our vision is constantly being compromised by some kind of villain. This book is a guide back home, your weapon, that allows you to renew your strength and be the hero that every child needs. John will guide you using his journey as the vehicle. He highlights the challenges he faced as an educator, coach, and administrator in order to help you facilitate your journey. He prods the reader through introspection which allows the reader to find purpose and fuel which leads to identifying the support the child needs. Each chapter highlights different areas of a child's journey, forcing the reader to identify all the emotional spaces one must go to meet the demands of the day. To save the day. We all need a pick me up at times and this book is exactly that. This book guides the rediscovery of your calling, spotlights areas that have grown dim. Each chapter brings back or confirms that heroic energy that allows us all to shine again like it's the first day of school. Are you ready to recharge, refocus, and restart? Let's go!
