Why What We Do Matters
Research shows that coaches are monumental in shaping young lives. We believe in the profound impact coaches make on personal growth, self-confidence, and overall well-being. Yet, their influence often goes unnoticed. The Big Man Foundation began in 2020 to honor Coach Jamal Powell's legacy, a coach whose life, principles, and service continue to inspire us.
