For one, Coach Brooks is the epitome of a team player — at times he’s quiet, reflective, unassuming and always ready with a word of encouragement.

Coach Brooks was determined to defy the statistics and create job opportunities not only for African Americans but for everyone.

However, God had bigger and better plans for Coach Brooks.
