He Knows What He's Talking About
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Dan Woog lives sport as an out gay coach. He knows what he's talking about and his kids know it. As a fellow coach, I love to read his books, and this one is no exception. He is honest, and the reading is easy, and doesn't make you feel uncomfortable if you're used to reading hetero jock books. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.
AWESOME ROLE MODELS
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Truly amazing stories...guys like Warren Cohn give inspiration to tens of thousands of youth, adolescents and teens struggling to identify with who they are and what they want to become. His story, and those of others in the book, teach us that you can continue to be who you, what you are and never ever falter from that path. We do not choose who we are, it is chosen for us...but the path we puruse is something we do choose, and like warren's actions, it can be one that's admirable, honest, full of integrity and wholly sincere. Kudos to you Warren, and the men of Jocks, for living life for who you are and making no apologies. Inspirations to us all!!

I bought Dan Woog's Jocks a few years ago, and after a few of the reads posted a 5-star review of it. And I give this book the same review. It is an excellent insight into the competitive world of sport, and how so many athletes suffer.Being someone who loves more of the less-known sports, I found the inclusion of those kinds of sports very welcome. They give me valuable insight into how those sports have a slightly different view of things, but still have the same problems.A definite thumbs up.
A must for athletes who are gay, gays who like athletes & ..

those who know folks into either or both !! These stories are truly inspiring and insightful, heart-renching and awe-felt! The author did a great job of capturing the role models like Warren Cohn, and the heros like Rafael Cruz Rivera in a way that serves to provide a path for youths as well as pride for some parents. It reinforces the notion that men and women can still be gay and athletic, that being homosexual doesn't force one to leave their masculinity at the door. Well done Dan Woog, and more importantly well done to those whose stories you told.
