“Good Luck. Hope we can get back to normalcy for your team and family. Good Luck. No one ever looks at or reports the positives.”

“TAKE A CHANCE ON YOUTH, OPEN THE DOOR OF HOPE”
An Essay on Coaching our Youth
My name is Kevin Broadus. I am a college basketball coach. My mother Shirley died when I was eight (8) years old of an unexpected brain aneurysm. I was fortunate enough to be raised by my extended family, my aunt and uncle and my mother’s sister, who provided me a loving home. I attended Catholic schools from the 1st through the 8th grade. I then attended the D.C. public schools for 2 years. My last 2 years of high school were spent in the great Montgomery County school system. In other words, I have personally seen all aspects of primary and secondary schooling.
I was one of the fortunate inner city kids who lived in the North East section of Washington, D.C. Though I never resided with him, my father was a significant presence in both my upbringing and my life. He taught me the value of hard work. My whole family kept me on the straight and narrow. If it were not for their unconditional support, help, and love, I may not have attained my Masters of Science Degree in Counseling. I am proud of my family, my work, and my career. I am ever grateful for the support of the many people I have met along the way, including all of the colleges, administrators and coaches I have worked with in the Washington, D.C. area. You all know who you are and I thank you for your unending strength and belief in my talent. Let me also say, and make no mistake about it, that I am proud of the players I recruited as part of my duties as a basketball coach during these many years. I have no regrets about trying to make any of the young men achieve their dreams even though some of them ultimately may have exhibited some flaws along the way. I hope that they view me as a role model – demonstrating that you can have a successful sports career while furthering your education.
