Coach Without a Whistle Wayne Deloriea

Let's begin by exposing some myths, lies and truths. As humans, we wear lots of hats. I have cowboy hats, baseball caps, fedoras and have even been seen in a do-rag. What I wear, if I wear a hat at all, depends upon how I feel in any given moment. Same for you? Perhaps you're not into hats. Perhaps you wear a particular sweatshirt, T-shirt or have several different pairs of shoes. Like band-aids, they cover sensitivities or hide scars. Psychologists refer to wearing masks, as it applies to covering parts of our personalities that we may not be comfortable with or that we may not feel comfortable with others seeing in us. Sometimes masks even blanket good traits that we fear might not be accepted by the particular group we associate with. What interesting creatures we are! Christian Counselor, Author, Inventor, Entrepreneur, Master Fitness Instructor and Coach Coach DeLoriea is one of the more successful coaches in NASCAR. "Coach" brings firsthand knowledge of what it is to put championship teams together. He brings 'old school' ideas back to the forefront when it comes to management. Using his GI Bill to attend Lenoir Rhyne University he received a degree in Psychology with an emphasis on Human Development. One of Coach's proudest moments was when the Department of Defense awarded him a Certificate of Appreciation for assisting the United States Army in developing a Pit Crew type turnaround plan for its helicopter force. Coach has had a diverse career starting with his celebrated work with severely and profoundly handicapped children, and teens in trouble with the law. After eleven years of dedicated service he took a dramatic turn and co-purchased a gym and became a personal trainer and coach.
