\"COACH<\/a>Meet\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Professor Jack Giambrone, better known as Coach G by many Sinclair students and faculty\u2014many people agree he is one of the most motivated and inspirational people.<\/p>\n

Why he\u2019s interesting\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Giambrone is a professor of athletics, as well as a coach at Sinclair Community College. He was born in Upstate New York, where he was raised into a blue collar family\u2014his mother and father only had eighth and sixth grade educations. He was the oldest of five children and said he remembers growing up where kids played together and looked out for one another.<\/p>\n

\u201cFamily is very important to a Latin family,\u201d Giambrone said. \u201cWe have a saying, it\u2019s like this, \u2018we clean outside of the pot for visitors and the inside for family.\u2019\u201dHe said this means that family sticks together\u2014sticking together emotionally, and literally because his aunts, uncles and cousins would live on the side street.<\/p>\n

But he didn\u2019t have it easy growing up according to Giambrone. He said he comes from a hard working family that stood by hard work because they grew up poor\u2014even though they didn\u2019t feel poor. His challenges as a young man in the 1960\u2019s and 1970\u2019s was based on financial issues because they didn\u2019t have money to support themselves for what they needed, such as school.
\n\u201cMom believed that education is power,\u2019\u2019 Giambrone said. \u201cI went to school with guys that had a lot of money.\u201d<\/p>\n

His parents worked hard for him to attend M. Judgment High School, and he\u2019s glad that they did because that school made him the man that he is today, according to Giambrone.
\n\u201cIt taught us how to work together and stay disciplined,\u201d said Giambrone.<\/p>\n

He said his school taught him that discipline is important. After graduating in 1977, he attended University of Dayton where he studied as an undergraduate. He later went on to study at the Ohio State University to receive his Master\u2019s degree in 1991. Giambrone said he is taking his mom\u2019s advice about the power of education. He is currently working on his Doctorate at University of Dayton.<\/p>\n

Giambrone said he wants to impact the lives at Sinclair because he has been coaching for nearly 25 years and teaching for 10 years.
\n\u201cCoaching and teaching are like the same thing\u2014it\u2019s good to serve students on field with coaching, but it made me step into the classroom to have more of an impact on students,\u201d said Giambrone.<\/p>\n

He said students inspire him everyday with their hard work and dedication to their studies.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s the way the students are compassionate about their learning every day,\u201d said Giambrone.<\/p>\n

He believes in hard work, and that\u2019s what has lead him to where he is now, according to Giambrone. He said it\u2019s important to make the best out of every day and be proud of what you accomplish.
\n\u201cLet every day be your victory, let every day be something that you can be proud of, and be the best you can,\u201d Giambrone said.<\/p>\n
