FOR COACH 
An Inspiring True Story of Tragedy and Triumph

Gregarious high
school head football coach Craig
Crespino is beloved in the tight-knit
community of Girard, Kansas. So when the
popular 45-year-old is tragically killed just three
days before the team’s summer football camp is to
begin, the small Midwestern town is left reeling.
For Coach is the true story of Craig Crespino: his life, his death, and his legacy. It’s the story of the GHS high school principal at the time and his mission to help the school, the players, and the community heal. It’s an account of lives intertwining in a manner so uncanny one might suspect a higher power had orchestrated their convergence. A tale of the unbelievable–somewhat unexplainable–series of events that followed the devastating loss. And it’s the story of the
high school football team that set out to
honor their fallen coach in the only
way they knew how.
By winning.
