Educator/Superintendent, David Lykins

As a lifetime educator, coach and school leader, I feel now more than ever, that in our fast-changing immediate gratification environment, high school and college athletic contests actually serve as metaphorical classroom that provides meaningful and long-lasting benefits to the athletic participants! I am excited that ATG is creating this platform to foster opportunities to strengthen relationships that focuses on providing resources to maximize the character growth of all participants.

C-Suite Leader and Coach, Mike Pulli

I have always been a big fan and participate in sports. I truly believe it provides a very solid foundation for characteristics (i.e., communication, teamwork, discipline, leadership, etc) which one will use many times over in their personal and professional careers. As one always says, OK so prove it to me! I can honestly say, I have used these characteristics in my career as I have been running companies for the past 30 years and always reflect on how playing basketball, soccer, football and baseball (softball when I got older) assisted me during many instances. Also, have been coaching basketball for the past 20+ years and with that, I try and instill these into each and every player.

Head FB Coach @ Williamsburg Wildcats, Nick Ayers

I started playing football at the age of 12, since then my life has been 100% focused on being the best player/coach I can be. Football is a sport where all walks-of-life come together for one goal. It builds relationships that are unbreakable, creates toughness and discipline that pushes both players and coaches to succeed on and off the field.

Business Executive and Youth Football Coach, Tim Padgett

Sports has been a huge part of my life and many of the great life skills that I learned in playing and coaching sports have translated into success both on and off the field. Hard work, discipline, and perseverance are key factors on the road to success in anything, but another important aspect is partnering with great people and organizations and building your network. If you are looking to further your success in sports, there is no better place to do that than at ATG. The great folks at ATG along with its member network will help take you to the next level.
