Coach LeViere believes athletics offer a unique platform to teach and learn practical truths that have eternal value. While it is easy to get caught up in the tangible aspect of athletics, the lessons of reaping what you sow, sacrificing individual goals and desires for the good of something bigger, goal setting and attainment, and many other lessons are at the heart of his involvement in athletics.
