This is such a good story about a player, Brian Wolfe, at UW in the Pac12. 5th year senior went from bench player/pinch hitter to leading the Pac12 in hitting this year. There's so much in here...perseverance, love of the game, being coachable, injuries, role player, dream school, playing on a bad team - leading them to better things...and more. While I have met Brian, I really don't know him personally but I sure enjoyed reading this article.
"Brian is what people think guys should be like when they talk about college athletics. He’s been hurt just about the entire time he’s been here. Yet he’s never given up. He’s never quit. He’s a good student and a great kid. He’s why we love to coach." - his UW coach.
Its definitely a long read, but somehow it just touches on so many things that we discuss on this site a lot.
