Coached middle and high school football
I received a football scholarship to attend Winston-Salem State University. I had been groomed from a very young age to love and appreciate the complexities of the sport. I wanted to share my knowledge of teamwork, discipline, and physical awareness to the kids that wanted a chance to play the game. I enjoyed watching the evolution and appreciation on the faces of the young boys willing to learn.
