236 pages, Softcover
Find out what happens when the final closet door--that of men in sports--finally swings open. Is there life for gay athletes after coming out to their teammates? Is there life before coming out? And how does being in the closet affect athletic performance? As gay athletes and coaches openly move onto the playing fields, many are still grappling with the subtle messages they received while growing up: that homosexuality is something to be mocked, avoided, or feared and is completely incompatible with athletics. Journalist Dan Woog, himself an openly gay soccer coach, interviewed dozens of gay jocks and offers up over 25 inspiring stories of men who are truly today’s champions.
