Bill Belichick...
coaching genius?
Congratulations for 18-1
Despite the SuperBowl loss to the New York Giants, Bill Belichick's 18-1 New England Patriots still had an amazing season.

Often panned in the media as a sour personality, nothing could be further from the truth given the way he entertained high school coaches as the Keynote speaker at the May 1, 2006 Frank McGuire Coaches Seminar. Belichick there shared a smile, laughter and insights to his coaching genius.

What's his secret? What is his agenda this year?

There are many! See...What makes Belichick a WInner, also, to learn more, Read David Halberstram's Education of A Coach.

NEW YORK, NY--Jack Curran is the current baseball and basketball head coach at Archbishop Molloy High School in Queens, NY, a job he took over from the legendary Lou Carnesecca in 1958. Since then he has been named CHSAA Coach of the Year 25 times in baseball, 22 times in basketball, won 22 city championships in three different decades and has been elected into seven different Hall of Fames.

It is not surprising therefore, that the walls of his office just a few steps away from the basketball gym would excite any sport memorabilia collector. For the "Coach" himself, a basketball and baseball fixture at Molloy for over 50 years, the celebrity pictures, autographed baseballs and basketballs, are just part of a catalog of a life spent doing what he loves--coaching.

Continuing to recognize Excellence in High School Coaching
The Frank McGuire Foundation will celebrate its 10th year by continuing to honor outstanding high school coaches. Four distinguished varsity coaches who are inspirational leaders in their schools and communities will receive grants of $5,000 in support of their school's athletic program.

The Frank McGuire Foundation celebrates those high school coaches who exemplify integrity, achievement and a continual quest for excellence from themselves and their athletes. The Frank McGuire Award honors the coach who perseveres and succeeds in making the job a higher calling, one that inspires young people to improve themselves in all aspects of life…a coach who lives in the memory of Frank McGuire.

Forty coaches have received this honor to date and the Foundation has provided their schools with a total of $400,000.
