When opportunities are presented and the response is beyond your expectations, you learn that it is more than a game.... it's about life. My life is better because of these young people , and I am blessed to lead them. Happy Holidays! Are you blessed this holiday season?

Trusting and enjoying the process. It's a game that teaches life skills and lessons. If you make it all about winning, you lose the message.

Success starts long before the final buzzer.

Honored to be a part of Rockwell Christian School Basketball, such a committed program, that exemplifies hard work, dedication and sportsmanship!

🇺🇸 On this Veterans Day, we pause to honor all who have served our country — men and women whose courage and sacrifice remind us what true dedication, unity, and selflessness look like. Those same values are what we strive to build within our own team here at Rockwell Christian School.

💬 A Word from Coach T
As the son of a proud Marine Veteran, I carry the lessons my father instilled in me both on and off the court. He served 30 years, including two tours in Vietnam, and his example of faith, discipline, and perseverance continues to guide me every day. My nonprofit, JLT Fieldhouse, was created in his honor — Joe Lewis Thompson — to help young men build character through sports and mentorship.

That same Team Before Self mindset is what our Varsity Boys Basketball team is embracing this season — growing together, learning through challenges, and showing strength of character in everything they do.

👇 Take a look below at what I would like to share with our team and Charger Nation.

ISo excited to share my article in the Salisbury Post to talk about something I'm truly passionate about: making sure sports remain a positive, character-building experience for our kids.
In my article, "The Over-Coached Generation," I open up about the importance of letting our children play, make mistakes, and find their own voice on the court. It’s not about winning every game; it's about raising resilient, confident young men and women.
This is the exact heart behind the Chargers basketball program I'm building at Rockwell Christian School. I'm so grateful for this platform to make a difference.
I'd love for you to give it a read—whether you have a student-athlete or not. Let's start a conversation about how we can all support the next generation!

We’re in the middle of a crisis, and it’s time to talk about it. 🚨

Did you know that only 29% of teens feel confident managing stress and resolving conflicts? Or that 16% of high school students feel they have a trusted adult to turn to for support? These aren’t just numbers—they’re a call to action.

In my latest podcast episode, I break down why preteens and teens MUST master personal growth and relationship skills NOW. From accountability and responsibility to conflict resolution and character-building, these skills are the foundation for lifelong success.

At Coach T’s Corner®, we’re tackling this crisis head-on. Through our S.E.A. of Success® framework (Simplicity, Effort, Attitude), we’re helping young people build confidence, resilience, and leadership skills.
