Coach G Speaks with Young Athletes in Detroit.
It all begins with an idea.
Coach G had the opportunity to speak with Voyageur College Prep High School’s student athletes. With his background as a college athlete at a BigTen (Univ.of Michigan) and as an Assistant Strength Coach at Georgia Tech, he was able to share a wealth of knowledge! He spoke on possessing good character, having a positive social media presence, supporting your teammates, maintaining academic excellence, timeliness, dedication, and overcoming obstacles. Students were engaged and asked great questions!
We are glad to be able to empower our youth to be #GearedForGreatness . Many thanks to the Athletic Director at VCP, Ricky C Gonzalez, for trusting Coach G with pouring into your athletes.

College Visit to Univ.of Michigan- Ann Arbor
It all begins with an idea.
▪️Serving as the Seminar 10 Teacher was amazing. I challenged myself to take a position that would be more fulfilling,& would align with my career/business goals.
▪️College Seminar was designed for students to acquire the necessary skills to succeed on the SAT exam. Moreover, it was designed to provide students with the necessary life skills to be successful during their post-high school choice. I got to help students research and develop an understanding of college requirements and career exploration.
▪️I got to take my sophomores to visit my alma mater- The University of Michigan💛💙! I organized a successful trip with the help of some amazing coworkers. Our students were so engaged and enthusiastic about the opportunity to explore colleges. For many, it was their first time on a campus. Others who took college out as an option initially for various reasons,are now reconsidering. Most importantly, they are gaining exposure and knowledge about life in college, before deciding on their future steps post- graduation.
I’m excited for their future! 💙
Our scholars are #GearedForGreatness!
