Coach Natalie Randolph, Woman History Making High School Football Coach (1410 hits)


Woman History Maker-DMV this week: Natalie Randolph, Coolidge High School football coach who inspired her team to win in academics as well as football. She made history and national news in 2010 by being named the football coach of Coolidge High School in Washington, D.C. After a challenging first season, this year she led her team to the Championship Turkey Bowl with an 8-2 record. Not only that, her football team has improved their average grade point average from 2.75 to 3.0! Even though the Coolidge Colts did not win this year's Turkey Bowl, Coach Randolph has built a foundation for continued success. Check her out in action, http://ow.ly/7FDNj

Glad to see it! With so many scandals, shenanigans and a general anti-intellectual attitude, it is great to hear about a coach who improves the academic performance of the team!!!

Nona--You inspired me to check out Coach Natalie's story. I wanted to know more about her. I found a documentary on ESPN--and it was so interesting and inspiring I posted it here.

I love stories about people who refused to accept society's limitations on their personal aspirations. Thanks for sharing!!!
