Colin McEnroe Show: The Incredible Story Of Trinity College Squash

Paul Assaiante is famous, even if you don't recognize his name. He's the coach of Trinity's celebrated squash team, currently riding a 224-match winning streak, the longest one in the history of all college sports.

There aren't even that many things you could compare it too. This makes his book, "Run to the Roar," so much more remarkable. It very easily could have been what everybody seems to want -- an instruction manual about how to be one of life's winners. And indeed, the book does attempt to transfer some of Assiante's coaching lessons into the rest of life.

But the book is a lot more, and the caoch is not afraid to plunge into the depths of his own powerful sense of personal failaure, particularly as it applies to one of his three children, his son Matthew, a heroin addict serving time in prison.

Even beyond that, it's impossible to miss Assaiante's self lacerating view of himself.
