Dr. Coach C. – The Motivator

NO EXCUSES JUST RESULTS, says Dr. Coach C.

19-years Ordained Pastor, 26-year military veteran, 40-years martial arts expert, and compelling public speaker,
Dr. Coach C’s lifelong mission has been to encourage and mentor young people, to give them the love and guidance that he didn’t have as a child, and to create hope for their future success.

Dr. Coach C.’s goal is to create a mindset of responsibility and accountability for completing assigned tasks and rewarding them with love and praise. We must listen carefully to our young people and motivate, ignite our youth with coping skills to move forward everyday of their life. In the words of  Mr. John Wooden, legendary coach of UCLA basketball,

“Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you’re capable of becoming.”
