My Losing Season is a memoir by Pat Conroy. It primarily deals with his senior season as the starting point guard on the basketball team of The Citadel in 1966–67. Conroy describes his tumultuous relationship with his coach, Mel Thompson, as well as the harsh, malevolent, male-dominated society of The Citadel. The book also deals with the team's experience of losing. In his final season, his team finished with an 8–17 record. It is not only a book about basketball, but about the friendships, challenges, and experiences a young man has growing up in America.
