and coaching, so I started school to be a nurse.Finally my dad’s passion inspired me.He emphasized the career in education isn’t right for everyone, but the benefits are immeasurable.” Morgan said. “If you go into this, the pay is not always great but the benefits of seeing kids succeed and things of that nature are very rewarding,” Stephen said. “You can’t put a price tag on that.”
Though father and daughter share their coaching secrets throughout the day, back home the conversation continues. Morgan said. “Definitely how I run my basketball program comes from my dad. Everything from techniques, philosophy, to sports spirit and the culture of how he ran his team.”
