Pure Gold: The Autobiography Of Coach Willie E. Goldsmith, Sr.

Legendary-Awesome-Professional-Trailblazer-Brilliant- Scholarly-Intellectual-Dynamic-Winner Pure Gold is the life story of a black man who grew up in the segregated south and became one of the most successful, influential & trailblazing athletic coaches in contemporary American History. The book articulates how the essence of his impact on his athletes rested in his overwhelming care and concern for them as people and his desire to do all he could to help them become the best version of men and women they were capable of in life as well as athletics. This autobiography chronicles Coach Goldsmith's fascinating journey from segregated Florida in the 50's and 60's to becoming Albuquerque New Mexico's first African American Head Football coach in the 70's and eventually returning to Florida and coaching one of the most storied programs in US High School Football to it's first ever 6A State Championship and eventually a nomination as Finalist for the NFL's High School Coach of the Year in the 90's. This is a story well worth your reading time.
