CISD Athletics is filled with coaches that care. When asked “Why you coach”, Coach Cothrin responded “I coach because I believe that the life lessons and disciplines that are learned through sports are essential skills that help to instill habitual greatness within individuals, some who didn't even know that they had the greatness within themselves. I coach to lead, inspire, and motivate young athletes to use the disciplines learned through sport to impact the world around them and make it a better place.
