I believe coaching is a calling and it provides a unique set of circumstances in which to positively impact the lives of young people.  I believe the best coaches seek out opportunities to teach life through the game because the game is real…and life is real.

The game has no bias, offers no entitlement, and knows no color.  The game rewards hard work, discipline, and teamwork.  But most of all, the game teaches and I believe it’s our job as coaches to pass on these lessons to our players.

The purpose of this blog is to give back.  The coaching profession has and continues to be a blessing to my life and it’s my goal to attempt to share some of my beliefs, philosophies, and thoughts that have been cornerstones during my 25 year tenure as the Head Boys Basketball coach at White Oak High School.

It’s my prayer that you will find something here that will contribute to helping you to be the best coach you can be.
