His love for the game and his Wildcat roots have been a driving force in his healing journey.

“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle, or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle … WHEN THE SUN COMES UP, YOU’D BETTER BE RUNNING.”

Head Coach Fred Harvey
