As a part of the Carbondale Community School 8th grade curriculum, I set on an adventure to pursue an internship in the field of a professional coach.
During this experience my eyes opened to the selfless acts of giving of oneself, leading by example and passing on his or her wisdom and life lessons to others.
I would like to share interview parts that I had with coaches and their words of wisdom that help create a healthy sports culture.
