Caged: Memoirs of a Cage-Fighting Poet

admin — Sat, 05 Jan 2019 03:50:13 +0000

Accomplished MMA fighter and award-winning writer Cameron Conaway presents in Caged the true story of a young man who overcomes a family background and his own inner torment by learning to channel his frustrations into the physical world of mixed martial arts fighting and the cerebral world of poetry and writing. It teaches the value of personal reflection, how life's most painful moments can lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation of human nature, and just what is possible when optimism and determination combine to overcome tough odds. Caged shows how the pursuit of two seemingly disparate passions helped a struggling boy blossom into a simple man. The result is a literary and lyrical philosophical journey into the heart and mind of a modern-day warrior.

If I Could Change Baseball

admin — Sat, 29 Dec 2018 16:31:09 +0000

"If I Could Change Baseball" was written in 2000 while I was managing or coaching all three boys Pony League baseball teams. Our family was at the baseball park seven days a week. In order to spice up the game and keep everyone interested I decided to become Commissioner of baseball and change a few rules.
