Coach Londino, Whether you realize it or not, you changed my life. If it was not for you, I would not be the person I am today. I kept the secret of being raped inside for six long months. Until I was emotionally triggered by a movie on rape in my fourth period health class, I would have suppressed my pain for the rest of my life. After the rape scene of the movie, I shot up out of my seat and went to the bathroom. Tears streamed down my face, while so many emotions flowed through my body.…

the struggles you have to go through to get to victory and success, and how true friendship could form if you just give others a chance. In the film "Remember the Titans", Coach Boone showed great deals of leadership. By the end of the movie, I believe he had the most impact on all of the boys life. When he became the coach, it was an especially hard time to be positive because all of the hate going on, and the discrimination against black people. He never gave up on his…

For my high school coach I interviewed Tony Stennett who works as our S.i.d along with being an Assistant coach on the Men’s basketball team.

For example, he knows he is an introvert person, but he disguises this when he needs to…

Coach John Wooden’s Pyramid of Success hangs above my desk. A signed copy of his pyramid hangs in my living room. Wooden books are intertwined in my library of sport psychology books. My wife and kids see Wooden books sitting on the coffee table. I want to live out John Wooden’s pyramid and I believe it’s an essential tool for any old or young athlete because his pyramid is built on timeless principles and values. Before you can lead (with mental toughness), you must be able to lead…

It wasn’t the position I wanted, but a job is a job, right? At least, that’s what I told myself then. Assistant Head Pre-Team Coach is a very flashy title, but really I was just teaching kids how to swim. The first few days were hard; the water was so cold. These tiny 5- and 6-year-olds can’t keep themselves warm while in the pool, so the first week of practices were all very brief. Honestly, I would rather have been at home, sleeping, eating - doing homework, even - than in the water, but I had…
