Coaching likely to fit Teel fine

Posted: February 22, 2012 at 3:11 am

Mike Teel has taken a step up in his college football coaching career.

Teel, the all-time leading passer in Rutgers history, was named quarterbacks coach at Wagner College on Feb. 13 after serving as the quarterbacks coach and pass game coordinator at Kean last season, when the Cougars were 10-2 and ranked 10th nationally among Division III teams.

"Our quarterbacks will benefit from Mike’s wide array of experiences," said veteran Wagner coach Walt Hameline. "Mike is serious about the game, eager to make coaching his life’s work, and I believe the success he enjoyed and his name recognition in this region will resonate in recruiting."

A three-year starter and two-time captain at Rutgers, Teel never lost a game at Don Bosco. He’s been the quarterbacks coach at the Phil Simms Quarterbacks Camp since 2000 and has served in the same capacity at the Greg Toal Ironman Football Camp and All American Football Academy since 2010.

Greg Schiano, Teel’s college coach, is not surprised his former player has become a coach.

"Mike was a great player for us and even in his playing days you could already see that he would make a fantastic coach," Schiano said. "This is a great opportunity for him to fulfill that promise and I know that he will do a phenomenal job. Wagner is lucky to have a bright young mind like his."

Milligan milestone

Former Don Bosco star Georgio Milligan has become the leading scorer in Franklin & Marshall history. He scored a game-high 26 points in a 63-53 victory over Dickinson, upping his career total to 1,807 points. James McNally had held the record with 1,796 points.

Brianne Traub, the former Eastern Christian star from Wayne, is the first freshman in the 25-year history of the University of Sciences’ women’s program to score more than 400 points in a season. Traub is the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Rookie of the Week for the eighth time. She’s averaging 17.6 points.

Vaughn Gray of Elmwood Park is a key reserve for George Mason (23-6). The 6-foot-5 freshman, who prepped at Don Bosco and St. Benedict’s, is averaging 3.4 points and 1.3 rebounds.

Marblehead-Swampscott trio to help college-bound students

Posted: at 3:11 am

Phil Sloan, a Swampscott-based sports lawyer, has teamed up with his former Harvard College classmate, an independent educational consultant and life coach, Steve Maislin, and Marblehead-based financial consultant and college-planning expert Jim Femia, to launch CollegeBound Coaching and Campus Connections.

The new company will help high school students with preparing for college as well as the admissions process.

 “We differentiate ourselves from other college admissions advisory services in that we believe that teenagers are more in need of ‘student life coaches’ than high-priced babysitters to walk them through the college admissions process,” said Sloan.

While they offer traditional college admissions counseling, financial aid consulting and essay-writing services, Sloan noted, “It is our ‘student life coaching’ approach which makes us different; that, and the fact that we employ college students to provide more relevant, more affordable college preparation and admissions services.”

Sloan continued, “When we began working with high school seniors over the past year, we heard over and over again how much they wished they had begun focusing themselves sooner to what it was going to take for them to get into college. We decided to focus ourselves on helping teenagers as early as possible to set and achieve measurable goals along the way.”

 Working closely with Maislin, a certified life coach trained in college admission counseling, Sloan said he has developed a new and innovative methodology to set and attain measurable goals through core life skills such as prioritization and time management. Their interdisciplinary approach, which they have termed “student life coaching,” combines extensive research in educational consulting, adolescent and sports psychology, leveraging the combined experience of their growing network of professional partners. 

“We are not claiming to work miracles,” said Sloan. “We simply work closely with teenagers and their parents to figure out how best to help them to meet their goals, in and out of the classroom. In today’s world, where students are pulled in so many different directions, so much of that a result of social networking and texting, maintaining focus and working towards goals can be nearly impossible for the average teenager.”

Sloan added, “Many parents are frustrated that they are unable to communicate more effectively with their teenage children. We strive to connect with this often difficult-to-reach age group, underlining the importance of balancing their time between schoolwork, athletics, community service and other extracurricular activities with social time, so as to better position themselves in the fiercely competitive college admissions process.”

In order to help parents to better communicate this message to teenagers and to help them to cope with the stress of gaining admission to college during the often turbulent adolescent years, CollegeBound Coaching is currently hiring and training high-achieving college students to work closely with its clients. “Campus Coaches” partner with the CollegeBound Coaching professional team to provide middle and high school students with the individual help, support and guidance they need.

Further leveraging this fast-growing network of college students, CollegeBound Coaching is launching a new and innovative college visit service, “Campus Connections,” to provide high school juniors, seniors and their parents with personalized, customized campus visits at schools across the country, beginning this spring.

According to Sloan, “We are not trying to replace the official college admissions tours conducted by the schools themselves. Instead, we are offering to provide high school students and their parents with a low-cost way to gain access to real college students on campuses across the country who can answer their real questions as to what it’s really like to go to that college. We are also providing college students with much-needed, on-campus, part-time jobs.”

Sloan continued, “With transfer rates and tuition costs rising so dramatically over recent years, we are helping college applicants and their families to make the best possible decision the first time around. With parents spending so much time and money on visiting colleges with their high school-age children, we have created Campus Connections to serve a growing demand for increased productivity of these campus visits.”

For more information on CollegeBound Coaching and Campus Connections, you can visit collegeboundcoaching.com. To speak with Sloan, Femia or another member of the CollegeBound Coaching professional team about their student life coaching, college admissions, financial aid, college visit or other consulting services, you can call 800-689-5195 or send e-mail to info@collegeboundcoaching.com.

Posted: Monday, February 20, 2012 9:04 am | Updated: 4:58 pm, Sat Feb 18, 2012.

The Gilbert Boys and Girls Club's first ever Coach-a-Thon will be 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., March 31.

For a minimum donation of $20 - all of which will go to the Boys and Girls Club - Valley residents can get 30 minutes of expert advice from specialists in the areas of finance, health and wellness, career, communications and transitions. The club is located at 44 N. Oak in Gilbert.

"Coaching is really a way for people to get moving forward with whatever it is they want to accomplish," said organizer Bob Wilson of Smartful Coaching, a Gilbert-based business and life coaching company. "That may be improving their finances, it may be helping them move forward with starting a new business, or it could be any number of things in their life that they want to make a change with."

Participants will not have to worry about any obligation for future coaching sessions, nor being solicited.

"The coaches that are there, they're donating their time. They're not turning this into a sales pitch," Wilson said.

Wilson, a member of Gilbert's Chamber of Commerce, hopes the event will make up for some of the cuts the Gilbert Boys and Girls Club has had to its budget.

"I heard that their funding had been cut pretty significantly," Wilson said. "I was looking for a cause to donate to, and I heard that was one that was in need, Certainly if we can help the kids that's a good thing."

According to Wilson, the $20 donation is a deal you won't often find.

"The $20 donation that we're asking for is really pretty reasonable for what most places charge," Wilson said.

Commitment is essential to Life Coaching and Business Coaching – Video

25-11-2011 13:59 Colorado Small Business Coach and Life Coach Sean McCarthy (970)581-2872 with Colorado Coaching Company ColoradoCoachingCompany.com discusses why commitment is so important in a business coaching relationship. Making a clear and definite commitment is the secret key to making your life and business goals happen, as mentioned in the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and the Movie not long ago released called The Secret. Commitment becomes an important factor in both life coaching anf business coaching. ColoradoCoaching Company believes The simple decision to achieve your goal, making your plans, following all the instructions you have read and heard is not enough. A decision and belief is not a commitment, it can take you only so far, but not always to completion. Here is where you have been set up to fail by the false teachers and success plan sellers. If you have tried and failed using this method before you know failure brings discouragement. Discouragement limits your ability to commit. It is easy to think positive, talk positive and draw pictures; even make plans and have hopes and dreams and desires, but that is not a commitment, it is only being involved in planning about your goals. Involved is not enough. You must make a commitment to make changes in your life and business. The success of any Life Coach colorado program or business coaching in colorado is determined by the participants commitment to reaching their goals. When people do not make a full ...

Palm Coast Neighbors: Man on a mission

Posted: February 18, 2012 at 9:31 am


without comments

Palm Coast man coaches community leaders: Life Coach Pat Williams, Ed.D., of Palm Coast is on a mission to empower others to connect thinking, dreams and ideas with resources available to them. Williams is a Board Certified Coach and a Master Certified Coach as well as a psychologist, author and founder of The Institute for Life Coach Training (ILCT). Since 1998 ILCT has coached leaders in big business as well as government, the medical industry and more. Today Williams remains involved with the organization, but is more actively involved in Coaching the Global Village (CGV), a nonprofit he founded in 2005 with a mission to “empower communities around the world to develop sustainable solutions for pressing human and societal needs.” As Williams put it in a recent interview, “CGV provides new ideas wherever there is an under-served population.”

So what exactly is life coaching?

“It is a special form of consulting that guides people by empowering them to think outside the box. It doesn’t give answers, but rather allows you to think about how you can take your ideas and dreams and move them to reality,” says Williams. He believes that this process helps people move from good to great by bringing out the best in each of us. This is exactly what he hopes to achieve through Coaching the Global Village.

For example, some recent CGV projects include:

■ The Kenya Project 2012. Funding support will allow CGV to work with local leaders of Kenya to keep improving the community, school and families in the years ahead;

■ Kansas Leadership Council 2011. Closer to home, CGV provided a workshop for the Kansas Leadership Council. This community leadership group supports individuals and teams to find their voices, listen deeply to one another, and move beyond conversation to leadership and collective action to build stronger, healthier, more prosperous and more joyful communities.

■ Florida Endowment Foundation Project. The Florida Endowment Foundation is a nonprofit headed by Heather Beaven of Palm Coast and offers educational enrichment programs across the state of Florida. Recently CGV provided training tor staff and mentors in the schools teaching the coach approach and also provided coaching to the administrative staff.

Williams wants to see the benefits of coaching expanded in our community. He hopes that CGV will broaden their partnerships in Flagler County. Life coaching is a holistic approach to developing leadership skills while improving a community. According to Williams, “…within every individual lies a wealth of knowledge and resources that are the source for sustainable solutions.”

With all the needs and problems we are faced with today, it seems that coaching is a needed tool. We all have gifts and skills within us that may be untapped. Coaching can help us reach inside of ourselves and expand those skills into viable ways to reach out and help ourselves and our community. Go to CGV at http://www.coachingtheglobalvillage.org to learn more or email Williams at pat@coachingtheglobalvillage.org

Upcoming events:

■ The Genealogy Society of Flagler County in Palm Coast will meet at the Flagler County Public Library, 2500 Palm Coast Parkway N.W., at 5:30 p.m. Thursday. Genealogists love playing detective as they solve family history mysteries. Most, though, have a few unsolved mysteries regarding the women in their family trees. Join genealogy professional Mary Penner as she outlines strategies for tracing our elusive women in a free webinar, “Finding Females in Your Family Tree.”

Her presentation, filled with tips and examples, will help individuals ramp up their detective skills in order to close the case on mystery women. For information, call 386-445-3253.

■ Washington Oaks Park Garden Tour will be held from 1 to 2 p.m. Feb. 25 at the park. Join Park Ranger Amanda on a stroll through the formal gardens to learn about the various flowers, plants and animal species that this park has to offer. You will also learn interesting historical information about the park. Be sure to bring your cameras, sunscreen, bug repellent and comfortable walking shoes appropriate for a leisurely stroll through the gardens. The walk departs from the main garden parking lot. Regular park entrance fees apply.

The Afro-American Caribbean Heritage Organization hosts its 31st Annual Black Heritage Day Festival at Central Park in Town Center, Palm Coast from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 25.

Enjoy food, vendors, entertainment and fun for the whole family. For info, contact Vivian at 386-446-6935.

That’s it until next time when I will bring you more ideas about things that are going on in the great place we call home in Flagler County. Thanks to those of you that continue to send me calendar items for this column. Please contact me at pcneighbors@cfl.rr.com or visit my blog and leave me a comment there. http://www.wordsetcwriting.com.

Coaching through the tears

Posted: February 17, 2012 at 4:09 pm

By Bill Vander Weele
Sidney Herald
Published on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 6:59 PM MST

It was probably the longest day of Staci Lange-Rice’s life. And the Savage girls basketball coach ended it by trying to lead the Warriors at a game.

On the morning of Jan. 7, Lange-Rice, who is a Sidney High School teacher, was volunteering at First Lutheran Church, Savage, by making meatballs for its annual lutefisk meal. She then received a call that fellow teacher and close friend Sherry Arnold was missing.

Lange-Rice and Arnold had built a solid friendship teaching math at Sidney High School for the past nine years.

“What drew us so close was Sherry’s and mine interests were so much the same,” Lange-Rice said. “Socially, it was always about our kids �“ we were always calling or texting what our kids were doing.”

They also experienced similar backgrounds. “We talked about our dads and their old ways of doing things. And we would chuckle about it,” Lange-Rice said. “Just finding peace out there (in the country) �“ there’s not as much stress or deadlines. There’s a lot that’s true about animals calming your nerves.”

Despite not knowing them well, Arnold always wanted to know about Savage’s girls basketball squad. “My team was always a huge interest of hers. She always asked and knew them by name.”

So on that tragic Saturday, Lange-Rice, in clothes that still stunk from her church’s raw meatballs, joined hundreds of other area residents to search for the missing teacher.

“By noon in my mind, I knew it wasn’t good,” Lange-Rice said.

The Savage native kept searching until late afternoon when she drove quickly back to her house and got dressed for her team’s game in Fairview.

“Fairview was very good to me. They showed a lot of caring and sympathy,” Lange-Rice remembers of that night. “There was a lot of concern on their faces.”

At one point during the game, she was unable to finish a thought during a time-out, but her daughter/player Bridger Rice completed the sentence �“ knowing her mother’s mind.

“It was one of the most difficult jobs I had to do,” Lange-Rice noted. “I knew Sherry would have wanted me to be there at my kids’ activities. Those times are so precious to a mom. My girls (Savage’s players) were very strong. They were very supportive and they took care of me.”

After the contest, a loss for the record, there were a lot of tears shed in Savage’s locker room.

“We were all very strong until after the game,” Lange-Rice remembers. “My feelings caught up to me at the end. I was able to grieve then and my girls were with me.”

The following Friday, it was announced that the missing teacher was believed to be dead. Lange-Rice was on the bench that night in Brockton, but assistant Becky Lyons handled the coaching duties. Lange-Rice, who was driven to the game by co-teacher and friend Mary Pfau, received hugs from referees, Brockton officials and other friends that evening.

Although Lange-Rice does her best to coach the Warriors, she admits her head sometimes isn’t totally on basketball. “It’s something that never leaves my mind,” Lange-Rice said of losing a friend.

Having the responsibilities of mother, teacher and coach hasn’t been easy. “It was hard, but I was always busy. I think that helped me keep my mind off of it. But then I had a lack of sleep because my mind couldn’t stop thinking.”

She and Sherry’s husband, Gary, keep in close contact. She’s established good relationships with some of Sherry’s other close friends. But pain exists daily. “It’s hard to walk by her room and see someone else parked in her parking space.”

She’s thankful for having her team with her during these challenging times.

“I think they’ve bonded into better people and a stronger team. They’re thankful for what they have,” the coach said. “The biggest gift is that they now look out for each other. They make sure no one needs to walk home or will be home alone.”

She notes that she has known three of the players for at least 13 years each. “This team is very close and near and dear to my heart. Their care and compassion was very supportive. I think when you show that, you become so much closer to everybody around you.”
