Coaching Third: The Keith LeClair Story

He set out to become a coach who accumulated wins, a coach who inspired a team all the way to college baseball's Holy Grail -- the College World Series in Omaha. As it turned out, Keith LeClair's dreams were too small. When the diagnosis of a fatal disease threw his coaching career a heartrending curveball, LeClair found himself on a different path. This new journey had less to do with coaching glory than with eternal perspective, and as LeClair's body deteriorated, his faith in God shone brighter than the competitive fire that had landed him his first head coaching job at the age of 25. Through years of debilitating illness, he transformed lives in college athletics and beyond with his extraordinary wisdom, grace, and courage. This is his story.
