Great article Joe. Your experiences were not unique. Like Stephen, I can say that next to my father Jim had the greatest impact on me. And like you, I would not have had the professional success I have had or achieved what I have academically without his influence! I became a teacher and coach because I wanted to have that same positive influence on others.
Joe, What an awesome and important article. Thank you for pouring your heart into this story of Coach Brandt, and for teaching us about the true essence of what success is all about!
Mr. Brant was my math teacher and I couldn’t be happier for my son to have been coached by him in track. My son is now a teacher and inspiring others to be all they can be. Mr. Brandt was a true leader, teaching others to lead and excel in their own unique ways. Congratulations to a great guy!
Mr. Brandt taught me that math could be enjoyable. I use applied geometry every day as a high school wood shop teacher!
Awesome article. I was never in sports but I did graduate from Grand Ledge High School 29 years ago. 1993. Mr. Brandt was an amazing teacher.
What a great tribute to a great man! Thanks for sharing your story Joe.
Coach, I’d love to touch base…your induction is so well deserved on so many levels.
Best,
Jon and Clare Jorgensen
I really enjoyed this article by Mr. Brandt, because of his determination and drive to never settle for less. He strived for more by not just stopping at the math degree but going into law school. But then also took on a role for coaching and put time into that.
This article was motivating to me, especially as a student who is interested in teaching. As a teacher I would like to coach a sport or two, and Mr. Brandt’s story is a motivator to be a positive influence to my team.
This article is amazing because like it says a lot of people don’t realize the size of impact a coach actually has on an individual or team. Jim Brandt is an amazing example for all coaches and he can even inspire young kids with the articles and stories we hear about him. He made people strive to do better and helped so many young peoples lives.
