What pressure for the students, I thought. I had just finished reading Bobby Vernon’s new book when I took that tour. His words resonated with me as I walked through the school’s halls. Amateur sports today are less about “the kids” and more about the adults in charge. That circumstance shouldn’t be accepted uncritically. And Bobby Vernon doesn’t.

Writer: Ben Cramer / June 1, 2003 / La Paz, Bolivia – Brian Reale has just pulled his dirty, 1986 Toyota Land Cruiser to a stop on the edge of the single-lane road that the Inter-American Development Bank has named “The World’s Most Dangerous Road.” It is nothing more than a ribbon of dirt notched out of the mountainside, winding narrowly around tight, blind curves. To use this road, drivers must register with the police as they enter and depart, so that authorities can account for vehicles lost over the edge.
