“Stories and testimonials illustrate how players took their sweat equity with them long after old-school football. Although his teams frequently felt the thrill of victory, Jack’s career was more about young people experiencing the true meaning of commitment.” --Walter Hubbard
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Walter Hubbard ’s new book tells the story of those made stronger by Couch Jack Carlisle.
What sets Jack Mason Carlisle’s story apart is the impact he had on the lives of others, because he overcame the adversity he faced. If he had something to prove, it is, because he did. After a boyhood accident resulted in the amputation of his leg, the odds were stacked heavily against him to ever fulfill his dream of becoming a coach. The story is not a distinguished sixty-one-year career or a Mississippi high school football record of 262–70–17, it is the number of hearts changed along the way.
Coach Carlisle was old school. He was tough. Players often did not make his team without first adopting a bit of his personality and a large portion of his commitment. He believed young people do only what they are forced to do and everybody can do more than they can imagine. When it came down to a player making his team, talent played second fiddle to just wanting it more than the next guy.
