Go behind the scenes in the huddle, in the locker room and on the road with former University of Hawai‘i receiver J. Ian Sample. What is it really like to be a UH football player? Sample answers this question with honesty and humor. Each chapter focuses on a single game from the Warriors’ record-breaking 2006 season, sharing intimate details both on and off the field. Anecdotes in Once A Warrior run the gamut from summer camp pillow fights to dancing the haka to intimidate opponents. It’s a player’s eye-view of a special season in University of Hawai‘i football history—the joy of winning big, the sting of losing the close ones—and a heartfelt look at what it means to be a Warrior.
