One More Practice: How a retired high school wrestling coach deals with pancreatic cancer.

by Cliff Ramos

Cliff Ramos had a successful career as a wrestling coach for 42 years. He started his career in 1976 in Butler, Missouri, and from 1981 through 2017 he taught and coached in the northeast Atlanta suburbs. In the spring of 2018, at the age of 65, Ramos was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. When someone receives a diagnosis as serious as pancreatic cancer, they often reflect on life’s history. This book takes a look at Ramos’ journey with cancer, his coaching philosophy, and how that philosophy relates to life outside of the coaching world.

About the author

Cliff Ramos retired from a 41-year teaching and coaching career in 2015. He won nine state championships as the head wrestling coach at Collins Hill High School in Suwanee, GA, and in 2010 was named the National Coach of the Year by the National High School Coaches Association.

His love for travel and writing, for so long on the back burner due to his teaching and demanding coaching career, are now on the frontlines. Up to now his writings have been limited to various sports related journals, but with retirement comes time for his secret desires to explore the land and to tell about it.
