- Teacher/Football coach - WR Coach at Garinger HS - Big believer in developing effective contributors to society - #THINGSWILLCHANGEATTHEG- Ravens - Gamecocks
Proud of you! I can see you’ve been workin… adversity has hit you over and over again and you’ve kept pushin..says a lot about you as a young man, not just a football player. Excited for what’s to come brother 💪🏼 always family!
ALL human, ALL have bad moments but the importance here is that the coach/teacher pulled the young man to the side.
There’s a lot in this profession who believe the young man should come apologize on his own, but it’s our job to teach and model. Love it @JustinStrain5
That time Devin Funchess had an altercation at practice, Ron Rivera pulled him aside and Funchess apologized and explained that he was shaken because his cousin had just been killed.
Senior night at the G! Honored to be chosen by my guy Ke’Shawn to rep his jersey. This dude started playing ball his senior year so he could be a part of something. The growth physically AND mentally has been tremendous and I’m so proud of him. MORE THAN FOOTBALL!
Success is great and it will come. But when kids come up to you, dap you and say “love you coach”…no amount of wins will ever outweigh that in my world. If it ever does, I’m getting out of the game. Purpose.
So proud of these boys! The smiles on their faces and the weight lifted off their shoulders will always be a top moment in my coaching career. More than ball! #thingswillchangeattheG
It is much more than football. Recently, I had the honor of celebrating the graduation of some of my former players. Also, a few other former players joined me for the fundraising golf tournament to support my new school. I love what I do. Thankful for the journey and these guys!
