Disponible en: Español

Sunday, Oct. 6 is National Coaches Day across Aldine ISD, Texas and the United States.

“I would like to recognize the Aldine Independent School District Middle School and High School Coaches for their impact, many sacrifices and the investment they have committed with our student-athletes.  Happy National Coaches Day – October 6, 2024,” said Aldine ISD Executive Director of Athletics Dre Thompson.

There’s no question that parents and teachers play a defining role in shaping a young person’s life. But let’s not forget about the coaches — especially on National Coaches Day October 6.

U.S. Olympic soccer gold medalist Julie Foudy once said that sports not only build better athletes but also better people. She should know. The lessons learned in athletic competition translate perfectly to all aspects of life. That’s because nearly all of the traits we associate as “positive” in other people play a crucial role in sports as well. Confidence. Communication. Teamwork. We won’t succeed on the field, in the office, or at home without them. The world’s best coaches, from Little League all the way to the World Cup, exemplify this winning tradition.
