“I worked with Coach Harold Cooper for five years as a team manager for the Auburn University Track Teams. In that time I worked with Harold at Auburn I saw him as organized and calculated in the planning for his athletes and the program overall. I learned to follow his attention to detail as he executed his plans to fruition resulting in athletes successes as well as the administration of a major college program. I observed him gather, motivate and lead others in the achievement of the team goals. He was a leader, coach, motivator and mentor to his athletes and co-workers. I learned communication, leadership and motivational skills while working with Harold that I continue to use today which have insured much of my professional success in the Health Club Industry.”
