Timothy Wright
Timothy Wright is the Founder of ON THE WRIGHT PATH: Mentoring, Sports and Youth Development. Throughout his life, Coach Wright has had the opportunity to coach and play sports at every level, with football being his game of choice. Football has given him the opportunity to further his education and make a living doing what he loves. Sports have allowed him to travel the world and meet amazing people with life-changing experiences. Listening to people share their stories of failure and then success is one of the driving forces behind his goal in helping young people to make changes in their lives for the better.
Coach Wright has worked in Corrections, Treatment Centers, summer camps, high school programs and private youth mentorship for over 20 years. As a child, he came from a broken home where he found value and refuge in team sports and the structure it provided. He has always prided himself on excellent listening skills. Where he lacked confidence in social skills and academics due to a lack of support and guidance from a young age, he instead learned to watch closely, listen and to not speak out of turn. These are the valuable lessons that he shares with the young people that he has the privilege of mentoring and coaching today.
Coach Wright’s philosophy is this: in life, there are no mistakes. We are supposed to learn, even from the worst situations. What tests a person’s character is not during the good times, but when one has to buckle down, compose oneself and finish the task at hand. It is not only the good times, but also the bad times that build your character.
