Making a Difference!

Story Published Friday, July 9th, 2010

“Making A Difference: Award Winning Math Teacher Changes the World One Student at a Time” by Sam Calavitta and Monica Vaughan Calavitta is a phenominal and very inspiring book. 

Sam Calavitta is one of the very best teachers in the nation.  He is extremely gifted and talented but the approach and philosophy he shares can be learned and implemented through hard work.  

I have read a lot of great coaching type books, and this one is as good if not better than any.  The only books that I would even put in the same catergory would be John Wooden and Paul ‘Bear’ Bryant’s books.

I consider those two coaches as the two best in the history of sports.   Mr. Calavitta’s book was easily equally as inspiring if not more to me.  For a coach, teacher, or someone that just wants to help people be the best they can be, this book will be priceless.     

Mr. Calavitta also has a strong background in the sport of wrestling.  He runs the Eternal Warrior Wrestling Camp in Montana every summer.

You will love this book.  I will keep my copy of “Making a Difference” close by and study it often as I run through my coaching career.
