A legend to some, a friend to me

[CatholicCougs14]

For those who know me know I am obviously a Catholic fan. Many don't know I actually graduated in 2014. Graduating then gave me a unique chance to see Jim Oddo coach his final four years at Catholic. This picture was taken last night at halftime of the 71st/CC game. Yes that is actually me lol
Coach Oddo is one person I can say has had a profound impact on me as a person. He is the personification of class, and an example of what it means to win in every aspect of life. I am very blessed to not only call him a hero and mentor, but also a friend. As he always famously says "HAVE SOME PRIDE....". We'll I definitely have pride in this picture which will be framed and hung above my desk.
I hope all of you get to meet him at some point, you will not be same once you do.
GO COUGARS!

14,
You dont have to say much because that picture is as bright as the the words in your story. Glad to hear young guys like you capture life, understand a mentor and pass it on to others.

Continue to grow, mature and enjoy life. You will one day be on the left side of the picture and a new rising star will look up to you just as you looked up to a legend.

Best of luck in your future.
