Lessons from the Trials of Life

Author Carl Rice is a retired educator. As a teacher, coach, and administrator, he shaped the lives of many young people. The trials he faced in life have informed his life philosophy, and he has passed this on to those he mentors. Young people return to visit Coach Rice and hug the man known by his first charges as Shush. Urging by those who love him resulted in this book: part memoir, part philosophy, part a guide to all of his students and players, but all Coach Rice.
