About the Author
John A. DeAngelo was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, and still lives in the house he grew up in. He began coaching youth sports in 1980 as a junior in high school, helping out with an in-house league at his parish. When he started, the team was 0-4. The team won its next five games and he realized the players were listening to him. Forty years later, he is still coaching and enjoying it.
