Synopsis

The inspirational true story of a high school football coach who motivates and encourages ordinary kids to do extraordinary things on and off the field

He's called simply "Coach." But Louie Cook of Notre Dame High School in Crowley, Louisiana, is much more than that. He's a father figure to his players, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or religion; the mentor players can turn to for discerning advice; the man students and parents go to for comfort in challenging times; and most of all, a caring leader with a servant's heart.

Coach of a Lifetime: The Story of Lewis Cook Jr., Legendary High School Football Coach recounts the inspiring, selfless path Cook has traveled as a football coach and, more importantly, as a leader in a small Louisiana town. While other high school coaches have won more games and sent more players to the NFL, none have proven better at developing the raw talents of high school kids from a handful of farming communities and turning them into champions on the football field and in life.

The story of Louie Cook is about much more than football. It's about developing and motivating young people, about putting faith and family ahead of wins and losses, and about building relationships that will last a lifetime. Cook may be one of the winningest high school coaches in the nation, but he will be the first to tell you, "Winning isn't everything; winning the right way is."
