John Long Middle School Welcomes Coach D

Click >>> Here

 

     Tuesday, March 4 John Long Middle invited nationally recognized speaker Coach D to help with FCAT motivation. Coach D states, “Young people must be challenged to develop themselves to their fullest potential, or they face hopelessness and the frustration of unfulfilled dreams.” Darrell “Coach D” Andrews, nationally known speaker and author of several books including, “Believing the HYPE: 7 Keys to Motivating Students of Color” and “The Purpose Living Teen:  A Teen’s Guide to Living Your Dreams,” will push students to press on towards inspired attitudes and high expectation so they can do well on their upcoming FCAT.  Coach D regularly shares with students how to connect tomorrow’s dream to today’s education. 

        “The challenges we are seeing in today’s schools create a sense of urgency in showing students the significance of individual dreams combined with hope and attitude. That is what really will help them excel on tests and in life,” said Andrews. “I know that a student with a dream is a student with a future. My desire is for all students to have a dream, live it and fully understand the importance that education plays in living it.” 

Using humor and real life metaphors to remove negative, non-productive attitudes, Coach D relates to pre-teens and teenagers in a unique way. Andrews was raised by a single mother who was also a high school dropout, but despite his challenging background, he determined to change his life and became a three-sport all-star in high school, the captain of his college football team and the first in his family to graduate from college. …...When asked by Coach D what she wanted to be, JLMS student Michelle Dowling answered, “A doctor or a lawyer.”  ….Following the assembly Amber Kutscher stated, “I really liked the program and I feel I am going to do better on the FCAT.”
