SUN Coaches Podcast

Coach Williams is a dear friend of mine and the son of a farmer. He grew up in South GA and those principles and work ethic was engrained in him from the very beginning. He started as a student assistant at Valdosta State and served as an assistant and coordinator before taking over the HFC job at Lanier County. In his 6 years there he steadily built a playoff caliber team. He has since returned to Macon County as the HFC. He does it the right way and is instilling that blue collar, hard nosed philosophy that he was raised on. I hope you enjoy Kurt's story!
