Legendary Manatee coach Andrew "Gug" Gugliemini joins the podcast to talk about his 30+ years in coaching.
Gug talks about how he got into coaching after school and where he got started before coming home to Manatee.
We discuss the importance of fun in his program, that also emphasizes toughness and hard work.
Along with lessons learned from coaching over more than three decades, we also discuss the heartbreaking tragedy from March, when junior Jann Michael Feeney lost his life after being shot in the chest while hanging out in a backyard with friends.
The always passionate coach then pleas for answers to questions about how to teach kids about being aware, and safe, around weapons and what we can do as leaders to help prevent these from happening.
In the end, Coach Gug knows that these are kids that he and his staff and people across the state are helping to mold and wants to remind all them to take time to be a kid while they still can.
This is a can't miss listen.
Head out to the NWCA Convention later this month in Ponte Vedra.
