#183: Ben Nicholas-Village Tech Schools (TX)


Listen Later

Do you remember when the coaching 'bug' bit you? Today we learn the journey of Village Tech School's Athletic Director/Head Track & XC Coach Ben Nicholas and how a fluke college assignment at a local high school turned into a career he'd never have guessed. We're grateful Ben had 'a miserable time' as a radio reporter/DJ as that led him to continue to pursue, to run after, a career in coaching. This passion allows him to build the Village Tech program up from scratch and culminated this year in a District XC championship, the school's first ever.  But first, we jump into the ocean and learn the background of the program's unique mascot, the Viper Squids!
