About the Book

Rich Hofman, the winningest coach in Florida high school baseball history, shares his journey in ""Coach of the Decade."" With over a thousand wins, Twelve State Championships and Four National Championships, and a legacy of mentoring athletes like Alex Rodriguez, Hofman's story is a testament to the power of passion, determination, perseverance, and leadership. Co-authored by Richard Davis, this book offers an inspiring look at the life of a coach who dedicated himself to the development of young athletes, both on and off the field. Dive into the highs and lows of an extraordinary career and discover the principles that made Hofman a legendary figure in high school baseball.

""Coach Hofman's lessons still impact me today.

He was a great motivator. He stressed loyalty and respect and took pride in his responsibilities to his players

-ALEX RODRIGUEZ

""Doug Mientkiewicz made a comment that stuck out to me when he said he was more impacted by the life lessons I had taught him than what he learned about baseball from me. And so that's really why you coach.""
