 The big guy on the
right is All-Pro Offensive lineman Tony Boselli of the NFL's Jacksonville
Jaguars. This picture was taken on the night we both received the Local
Hero Award from the Ponte Vedra Rotary Club. |

 Here's a sneak
peek at one of the illustrations in my book. When I was first putting
this book together, I had asked Chester Villar to draw a cartoon of a
coach talking to a kid "on his level" (it's just one of the many
tips in the book). Who knew he would make that coach have a resemblance to
me? Thanks Chester! |
