My father is my inspiration, my role model, and a true leader. He has explicit goals and a strong vision of the means by which to accomplish those goals, an excellent listener and communicator, a coach and teacher, effective evaluator, inspiration, cheerleader, organizer, and advocate for his passions and for the people around him. Throughout the course of my life, my father has worked three separate jobs in order to support my family and provide for his six children. He is a catalyst who inspires me, my siblings, his students and his players. His motivation and passion for what he does fuels others to follow their dreams despite what others believe they should do. He has given up many dreams and resists some desires, because he believes family and teaching youth is the most important and is willing to sacrifice other things in life to fulfill those goals and serve as a role model, mentor, and friend. In addition, he was a phenomenal athlete! He was a basketball All-Star as a 4 year starter at Wittenberg University, First Team All-American, Division III National Player of the Year, and inductee into the Hall of Fame. He held the record for most points scored in a season and career for numerous years until he was surpassed by an individual after the addition of the 3-point line. He continues to pursue his passion as a high school basketball coach for Upper Arlington, his 28th season as a coach; he has captured many titles and his tireless push to achieve and make his team better has been an inspiration to me. - What are you most looking forward to in the 2014 Chicago Force season?
