Coaches come to us in all forms. There are life coaches, career coaches, health and wellness coaches, business coaches, and of course there are coaches in sports. The wonderful thing about coaches, is they drive us to succeed. Self-pride, discipline, work ethics and that never-give-up attitude are instilled in us from coaches.  

It is amazing how one person, one coach in your life, can make all the difference.  

Coach Daryl Whittington was such a coach. He went beyond the call of duty to impact the lives of kids forever. He was a teacher, motivator and even a father figure. The book Coach Daryl's Colts: Going For Two by Corey McKinney tells his story.
