Marty Secord, the Wakeland High School head football coach and campus coordinator, believes the roles of coaches in student athletes’ lives are more important than ever before.
“We find that, more and more, our kids need attention to detail in the areas of character, citizenship, accountability and worth ethic. Coaches have a truly unique opportunity to make a positive difference, and our role is critical because we spend a lot of time with these kids every single day. I believe coaches and a positive athletic program are final stops a kid makes before entering the adult phase of life, and what a difference we can make if we simply take the time!" Coach Secord shares.
Coach Secord is still coaching after 35 years because of the coaches he had who helped give him the tools he needed for success. He shares, "The power of influence a coach possesses is critical and unique and we must continue to use it in a powerful way for positive results.”
