My Project
If you're a believer such as I, then you will understand that if you can dream it then you have already started the process of making the dream come true. My dream is to turn the players locker room into a more modern style locker room by adding Stadium Sports Lockers in there.
The difference that this will make is to give the kids a sense of belonging to a team with also giving them more accountability that this is not just for the school but for you the player.
A locker room is your foundation to where it all starts and right now our locker room is no different than the PE locker room and does nothing to set us apart.
The goal behind this is to add 15 Stadium Sports Lockers in the locker room which would be 1 for each player to hold all their personal belongings in and as well as to allow them a more comfortable setting when in the locker room to do homework and or hold meetings or just go over team breakdown.
When you look good, you start to feel good which makes you play good and as a Coach and a player the first part of looking good is your domain which is your locker room. Walking into a real players locker room provides a better learning environment and gives the kids more to look forward to.
