And the wiiner is............
The last couple of years I have been away from track I have had time to re-think a few goals.I always wanted to coach a state championship team forgetting my mentor Dr Edward Temple's mantra-"I want to create as many individual champions as I can and if a national title comes about in the process,that's just icing on the cake"( I'm paraphrasing a wee bit here) Sometimes we let our ego get in the way and forget why we are there. It's about teaching life lessons to young people. So I'm still working on being a better coach and a better person.....1 champion at a time

MY FIRST COACH
This past March was my mothers' birthday.Everything that I do and say now came from her. Your first coach in life are your parents. They set the foundation for you being you.Some folks are not as blessed to have a great mother and grandmother like I did.If they ever coached a sport I would hate to go up against them.they palyed by the rules,but adapted them to fit what ever situation they had faced and knew that I would eventually They planned their work and worked their plan. Always knew what I was going to do before I did ." I brought the monkey to town" was Reece's favorite saying when she peeped may game. Abraham Lincoln said it best-"All that I am and all that I ever hope to be I owe to my mother" Maureece L.M.Currie showed me the way to be the best person I could be,and that carries over into my work as a coach...couldn't ask for more.....Ciao
