Never Afraid, Never A Doubt - Caleb Pirtle - Bog

Hershel Kimbrell served as head basketball coach at McMurry University for thirty-one years, winning 448 games and being named to the NAIA Hall of Fame. His teams were mostly too small, too short, and too slow, perhaps, but they were the giant slayers, defeating top-ranked programs for one reason. Coach Kimbrell taught his players they were better than they were, and they believed him.Never Afraid, Never A Doubt is the biography of a man who believed in building winners. And it had little to do with the scoreboard. It is the story of a man as seen through the eyes of his players. He told them: "When every muscle and joint and ligament in your body is telling you it's time to quit and you refuse to quit, you'll dig down deep into a place you didn't know you had, and you'll find out you can accomplish more than you ever thought possible. At McMurry, we take the word "quit" out of the dictionary."As Chris Beard, head basketball coach at Texas Tech University said, "If the talent on the floor was close, Coach Kimbrell would beat you every time.
