“Words can not express how shocking it was to hear about the passing of my /our Coach, Roger Harring. To many he was legendary. Winning 3 National Titles and collecting many other accolades during his 31-year career at UW-La Crosse including being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
Playing for him was an honor. His investment in me as a person was invaluable. He made being around the game of football fun.
In 2001, I was struggling to find my purpose. I sought him out to talk about my life and career path during his infamous coffee time. He asked me “If you died tomorrow, what would you want people to know that you cared about most?” My response was instant. I responded, “my family and I want to impact the lives of young people!” He said, “now find a way to do that and I will use any connections I have to help but you have to remember that your family is the most important thing above all else.”
He offered me advice every step of the way or directed me toward someone who was willing to share their knowledge. I have been serving youth since that conversation.
Thank you, coach. I hope I made good on your investment.
Love You Coach! See you on the other side.”
