Coaching the Whole Athlete

“The two hours you see your athletes each day can change the other twenty-two.”

Great coaches teach more than a sport. “I was reminded today that the two hours you see your athletes each day could change the other twenty-two when you’re not around,” Coach Wollman says. “Coach the whole person — it’s so much bigger than a game.”

It’s the same conviction that made his lasting legacy at SMU the academic-support program he built, not just the trophies. Technique gets an athlete farther; character keeps them there.
