Speaker 2: Vic Mitchell

Coach Mitchell started off as a computer science major at the University of GA although Mr Mitchell felt like he wanted to do something else. Which is why he went to the basketball coach during this time and volunteered his services as a coach for the summer camps at the school. He then got to travel all the way to the final four with them and said it was one of the best experiences of his life getting there. This was all due to him attending Summer camps.

Vic had a job ready for him at a middle school in Cobb county in 986 which he turned down to in order to have a interview for the womens head basketball coach at Reinhardt College. Vic got the job and after 4 years at the school he decided to take the job at Shorter Uni. This is mainly because of recruiting and the fact it was a four year school. RC at the time was only two year. Coach Mitchell has been at shorter he has taken over several roles, and only until the last couple of years has he been able to concentrate on basketball again. Golf, cross country, and AD were some of the other roles he undertook whilst at shorter.

Coach Mitchell ended on one life lesson and that was ' the worst thing you can do for someone is something they can do for themselves' . This was a very wise statement I thought an I really enjoyed coach mitchells speech and can say I took something from it.
