Inside ‘The Coach Vick Experience’: How BET Turned a Bold Gamble into a Cultural Phenomenon
You’re not just coaching the game; you’re also developing young men in the process. That’s why, along with the glitz and glamour of being a college coach, these positions often involve a level of servant leadership and educational development that is often overlooked. In that role, I think Vick won’t have a problem connecting with his players and leading them to success while guiding them away from the pitfalls he experienced in his career.
I again think the strongest element of The Coach Vick Experience is when the student-athletes are covered. Outside the “usual suspects” thus far, such as Otto Khuns, Israel Carter, and Ke’von King, we were also introduced to Terique Miles, a student-athlete and young father. He looks at the league not just as a dream for himself, but as a way to make money and provide for his family, which is an amazing deviation from typical professional aspirations.
