Sprint, Serve, Lead — Lessons from Coach Tuck

Welcome back to "On the Way to School," Today, I reflect on the impact of Coach Tuck! How his encouragement to sprint the 400 and join relays helped me discover speed, win championships, and shape my athletic path.

I connect coaching to leadership by guiding staff, parents, and students, explaining the purpose of voluntary affinity spaces, and handling pushback with patience and clarity.

As equity practitioners and leaders, keep the “lighthouse” open. The work you build creates foundations people will return to when they need support.
