Coach of a Lifetime

Few people throughout history impacted people's lives and set them on a different trajectory than their prior path. One such person is a high school football coach in Crowley, Louisianna, named Lewis Cook Jr. Coach Cook enters the 2023 football season just a few wins shy of 400 wins as he leads his Notre Dame High Pios into the current campaign. It is not just about the "Ws" on the field for Coach Cook; his most significant victories are helping people to reach their full potential, and he has changed lives with his insightful, empathetic approach to caring for others.

Here is an avenue to purchase a copy of Coach of a Lifetime: The Story of Lewis Cook Jr., Legendary High School Football Coach by author Gaylon H. White - Foreward by Alabama's Coach Nick Saban

Author Gaylon H. White helps us recognize the story of this man who has turned kids seemingly on their last straw into a life that has led to success on the field and in life. Coach has inspired some of his former players not only to play college ball and positions in the NFL, but he has men who became professionals in business, like Doctors, preachers, and Roman Catholic priests.

Here are some of the men that Coach has impacted:

  • Orlando Thomas Safety of Minnesota Vikings (1995-2001)
  • Shane Garrett - runningback Texas A&M and Cincinnati Bengals

  • Father Schumacher is now a priest
  • Lane Anzalone a Dr
  • Nick Ware became a priest after being a ball boy and a player
  • Seth Fruge a Plastic Surgeon
  • Will Fruge (John Paul) a Priest

This is a heartwarming story about one of the good people doing positive things woth their position in football. Kids love coach and coach loves them, andthey play as hard as they can for him
As one person states inthe book, "He's put some in the NFL but even more in heaven." 

Coaching is the vessel Coach Cook uses as a his own ministry to interact with people, and he does a great job at building winning people as well as winning teams!

Author Gaylon White met and learned the story of Coach Lewis Cook Jr. almost by accident. This high school football coach is approaching 400 wins in his long, tenured career. Sure he has won some ball games and even got some players in big-time college football and the pros, but he has done it by making almost everyone he comes in contact with a desire to be a better person.
