π MEET THE COACH | James Murace
For James, coaching is about giving back.
What started as teaching his daughters the game he loves soon became a passion for helping young people learn, grow and believe in themselves.
When asked who has had the biggest influence on the way he coaches, James didn't hesitate.
"My Dad... he gave a lot to the Midland community, and I want to give back to the community that I was raised in as well."
That commitment is reflected in everything James brings to the court. Through respect, sportsmanship and accountability, he encourages his players to become not only better basketballers, but better people.
As a volunteer coach, James is continuing a legacy of community, investing his time and energy into the next generation and helping create opportunities for young people to thrive.
Thank you, James, for everything you do for our players, our families and our community. π©΅π€
