Coach Goldberg receives special recognitions

Cali Friedel, Assistant Sports Editor

Recently, Coach Seth Goldberg was recognized for earning his 100th win as the Boys Basketball Team Head Coach. He was also named District 11 Athletic Director of the Year in the MIAA.

Coach Goldberg was able to earn his 100th win over the Calvert Hall Cardinals, with a score of 59-46. This milestone was able achieved in seven seasons, showing the hard work and successful team culture that Coach Goldberg has been working on with his team.

“My favorite part is my current and former players who have reached out. I have been lucky to coach many guys, along with Coach Mel who has been with me for all 100 of these wins, so that’s not something I have done by myself,” said Coach Goldberg.

Many coaches forget to focus on the importance of team culture and building team chemistry even off the field or court. Team culture is something that can make or break a team. Having a team culture that is positive and hardworking can allow a team’s success to portray more than a team that has a negative team culture.

Coach Goldberg explained that he focuses on his team culture, rather than just the sport itself. “I’ve always really tried to figure out what my players need for me. A lot of people always see me smiling when I am coaching, which doesn’t mean I am always happy, but it allows me to stay centered and try to figure out what they need for me, versus how I am feeling.”

Earning Athletic Director of the Year in District 11 for the MIAA is also an amazing milestone. “I think that it’s great recognition for our school. You get recognized for this, not because of me, but because of all the people and coaches that allow us to look good with how they carry themselves,” said Coach Goldberg.

The focus of team culture, hard work, and growth are things that go unrecognizable when you are the coach of a team or director of a program. All these things are ways that Coach Goldberg was able to achieve these two major accomplishments, allowing John Carroll athletically and as a school to grow and teach kids how to be a leader more and more every day.
