Amaechi refers to Rice once more by getting the reader to think of all the men his coaching style must have affected through his career. He explains how “That kind of poison infects and potentially manifests in all but the most resilient of them” (2).

traits. The names of those men, although I referred to them as “coach,” are Joe Albertson and Jareese Williams.(11) Being a leader or having leadership can be a tough trait to define. One unmistakable sign of leadership is just plain production. In coaching, production is labeled in one way- the win column. Coach Albertson always finds his way to keep his win column in check (BE 12). I remember as a kid watching his teams and the varying talent levels he had to foresee over. Whether Joe had…
