CISD Athletics is filled with coaches that care. When asked “Why you coach”, Coach Martens responded “I coach because I love all sports and kids. But I choose to coach middle school athletes because I know how important the fundamental aspect is of athletics and middle school kids are so impressionable. You can make a huge impact on these kids that carry them through high school, college and beyond. It's all about relationships.”
