Scott Miller, the author of “Chance of Precipitation”, talks to Benji Cole about his book that reminds readers that adversities and changes can be blessings, too

Change is either prayed or dreaded but at times, could be both. Change sometimes fosters brokenness and sometimes it accentuates growth depending on how one responds. Life would not be life without the presence of change. Change may come along with pain or joy. However, certainly change always comes with the beginning and end. Change may be manifested in a moment where something ends and another thing begins, all at the same time. The author explores the benefits and drawbacks that may arise because of considerable change.

Scott Miller, the author of Chance of Precipitation, coached college wrestling for twenty-two years, eighteen of them as a head coach, at Eastern Washington University, Springfield College, Campbell University, Syracuse University, and Pacific University. Scott got into mental health services after retiring from coaching and spent ten years as a CBRS, SUD case manager, and anger management specialist. He is currently employed as an emotional regulator and victim advocate in Wallace, Idaho, where he also coaches high school and middle school wrestling. Scott is married to Amy and has three sons and a daughter.

The book, Chance of Precipitation, is about the life of Randy Albertson. After 22 years as a collegiate coach, Randy is ready for a change, with a new athletic director and a restless alumni group. Randy’s best friend, Adam Chadwick, owns a successful auto dealership in another state, and he resolves to branch out on his own, but not without the help of his family, as he soon discovers.

After a promising beginning, Adam is plagued by misfortunes, and Randy becomes involved with the whirlpool. At the point when Adam gets captured and accused of extortion, Randy is the final straggler to deal with the circumstance. Because of the terrible press brought about by the charges and the downturn, Randy rapidly loses everything, including his family.

The story is a wonderful reminder that realizing one’s absolute best does not always refer to winning the battle but to growing and bettering oneself after going through the process of facing adversity.
