Not everyone has the opportunity to make a difference in someones life, due to various reasons. If you had the chance, would you do it? We don't realize that something small to us can be of great value to someone else, even if it is just words of encouragement, or just being there. I have the opportunity to affect many lives and it is the best feeling that I have experience. I have been blessed to be able to be a basketball player with an extensive resume, and because I am in that position, I have been able to deal with kids on a role model level for most of my life. I accept this gesture with open arms in hopes that I can one day help a young man or lady be somebody in this journey called life.
This is my 1st season as an assistant coach at my old high school "Decatur High School". I had the opportunity to help lead my team in 02 to a shot at winning the Basketball State Championship for that season. Now I am on the other side of the team, coaching. It feels good to be able to share my story with the players of this 2011-12 season, and there is no better feeling than being apart of basketball on many levels. This is my blessing and this is what I feel God has blessed me with. This is just one of many ways I plan to give back and I thank my lord and savior for this more than wonderful opportunity.
Tonight (Nov. 9th, 2011) is the 1st time, I get a chance to participate in the public eye as a representative of Decatur High School, not as a student, but as a Coach/Educator, these moments are priceless and I'm looking forward to giving back to my beginning.
Decatur, GA
