When asked “Why you coach”, Coach Young responded “Sports helped me in my childhood stay out of trouble along with the coaches who were there for me and mentored me. I wanted to be like my favorite coach and be able to give back and help mold and mentor the youth to become better young men. Knowing that I can be a positive influence/role model on kiddos who need it makes me love coaching.”
