MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB) June 27, 2018 -- “The Has Been”: a striking account of a former wrestler trying to save his son from the same mistakes. “The Has Been” is the creation of published author Solvatore Rigitano, former wrestler at elite high school and college levels, coach and mentor for several state champions, member of the Knights of Columbus, and active member in his Catholic Church community now living in Illinois with his wife and five children.

Rigitano writes about the moment Sol and his son Joey listen to an inspirational wrestling coach speak at a banquet:
“JEFF
It is nice to see a lot of old but familiar faces in the crowd. You know many people often ask me what was my most memorable team. And most of those individuals intend on me pointing out one of the many state place winning teams or our state championship teams; however, to their surprise, I like to bring up the team that did not make it to state but was the most talented. The 1996–1997 North High School wrestling team was the first team that I truly believed had a shot at winning the State Championship…
JOEY
Dad, didn’t you graduate in 1997?
SOL
Yes.
Sol reluctantly answers due to the emotions tied to his past.
JOEY
Well, what happened? All that talent, why did your team not even make it down state?
SOL
It just did not work out. Now pay attention.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Solvatore Rigitano’s new book is a gripping tale filled with crucial, hard-won lessons from the brink of greatness and failed potential.

Told in screenplay format, Rigitano’s story pulses along like a motivational sports movie that will move even nonathletes to tears with its timeless truths of how anyone who dares for greatness will have to face the ever-present danger of sabotaging themselves in their pride and selfishness.
