The individual I chose to write my essay on is Marshall Bruce Mathers, or more commonly known as Eminem/Slim Shady. He was born on October 17, 1972 in Kansas City, Missouri.

How did coaching begin? Coaching came about long ago when sports first started in the Greek Olympics in 776 BC and has been evolving ever since. Coaching is a great field with many career opportunities. In the past, the salary was not enough to provide for a coach and his or her family, and coaches were not valued like they are today.
