GOODREADS REVIEW
“As a retired high school coach and athlete at the high school and college levels, I found Risky Pursuit to be a spot-on representation of high school athletics . . . and very engaging as Decker reacts to what is happening in his life. His interactions with teachers, administrators and fellow student athletes were incredibly believable. The descriptions of the baseball practices were a time machine back to when I played high school ball. As a coach, I have had student athletes who have surprisingly exhibited strength of character, as did Decker. . . . This book is a must-read for student athletes, their parents, friends, coaches and teachers.”_Jose Martinez, Goodreads

A few chuckles: Lessons from History
Remember when you were ten or eleven and your teacher or Sunday school teacher first exposed you to history? And later gave you a quiz?
Two teachers in Ohio, over three years, compiled some answers from their 5th and 6th graders:
Socrates was a famous old Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. He later died from an overdose of wedlock. Which is apparently poisonous. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline.
Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king. Dying, he gasped out, “Same to you, Brutus.”
Queen Elizabeth was the “Virgin Queen.” As a queen she was a success. When she exposed herself before her troops, they all shouted “hurrah” and that was the end of the fighting for a long time.
