My Project

What I love about my students is that they have an unbelievable drive to succeed in spite of things that may not currently have as far as resources. Time and time again they go beyond incredible measures to reach their desired goals.

As their teacher and coach, it is my responsibility to ensure I do the same.

Last summer it was incredibly hot in Mississippi and didn't rain from July to almost October. This is why have enough water bottles for each player this spring is very important.

The other equipment can sure help us with our training methods of the athletes. It will be very beneficial for all school age student athletes that are working to improve their athletic performances. Whether it's football basketball, baseball or track those items will help keep our student athletes on track to go to the next level.
