Testimonials
Athletic Journey Reflections
I’m grateful for Coach Morris’s guidance in college baseball, emphasizing academics, accountability, and success principles like mental toughness and visualization in his insightful guide for student-athletes.
I am pleased to announce that the national Clell Wade Coaches Directory/Coaches Insider Newsletter wrote an article on one of my chapters from my book that was recently published: Student-Athletes: Control Your Own Destiny. The article is written about "What High School Students Need to Know" about the concepts of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) in high school athletics.
I want to say thank you very much to the Coaches Directory/Coaches Insider and especially to the author of the article, Jim Emery.
Please check out the article and also the link to purchasing the book. Thank you!!
