About this listen

High school soccer coach and writer Dan Woog reads from, Jocks, his pioneering book about gay high school athletes published in 1997.

A closeted gay male for most of his life, Woog wrote this bestseller during a turbulent and often dangerous era for homosexual men, giving voice to a population unapologetically expected to be straight.

After, we discuss the dramatic impact Jocks had on athletes, and the difficulty an administration had in trying to embrace its acceptance of it.
