Person I most admire, and why: “Jay Williams – he is very personable and can hold a conversation with anyone about anything. He was an amazing coach and truly cared for each and every one of his athletes. Not only that, but he has lived an amazing life so far. He has so many wonderful stories to tell and has impacted so many lives, not only from coaching but from all parts of his life. Coach Williams has left a lasting and positive impact on the people in his life and everyone that knows him speaks very highly of him.”
