There is an amazing man that I
have had the great pleasure of knowing, Coach Gregg Grant. Coach Gregg has taught all 3 of my children how
to play the game of basketball. He has
spent the last (approximately) 10 years coaching Eisenhower students from the
kindness, love and passion of his heart.
Coach Gregg is known for teaching his players how to play the game to
the best of their ability as well as from the passion that resides within them. Coach can go from stomping his foot on the court
in the middle of the game to crying because he is so proud of his team whether
they win or lose. I have never seen so
much dedication and love rolled up into one human spirit like Coach Gregg. At the end of every basketball season Coach
insists on having a celebration for the kids.
As you can imagine, the kids always love this opportunity to celebrate
with their teammates and receive awards from Coach. This year, much to our surprise, Coach Gregg
presented an award that will be forever cherished in our home…
The Iron Man Award~Diego Segovia~ The Come Back Kid!
It was a blessing for Diego to
receive this award at this time. Diego
was finally feeling strong. It had been
a long 6 month recovery. The award was
presented at a time when Diego was being forced to face the reality that he
would soon be starting this process all over again. The Iron Man Award is displayed in Diego’s
bedroom and it serves as a constant reminder of everything he has conquered
thus far and the strength that he has within him to conquer again! Thank you, Coach Gregg! We love you!!!
