The picture, if a picture results, is a by-product and may be useful, valuable, interesting as a sign of what has passed. The object, which is back of every true work of art, is the attainment of a state of being, a high state of functioning, a more than ordinary moment of existence.” Robert HenriIn this episode:Quick story of how we met and the generosity of Coach Allocco.What was life like growing upWhat are your Life’s Essential IngredientsLegendary FOOTSTOMP….Playing for Legendary and Ara Parseghian1973 National Championship – what made the team so specialPlaying with RUDYWon 600 games faster than any other coach + three state titles… left De La Salle in 2015 to coach at USF- why?Coach John Duggan and his 5 decades of giving backThe importance of gratitudeGetting Reps and learning how to practice the right wayLeadership – define it and how do you develop it…Excel – vision of why you started in and the success of it and the importance of serving others… 40 years later – selfless focus – change the world one player at a time…MORE THAN JUST A GAMEDiocese of Oakland - President of East Diablo CYO LeaguePG for Digger Phelps and was a NIT finalist in 1973Legacy
