Here is a little bit about me: My name is Coach Gosa. I was born and raised around the Birmingham area. After high school I went straight into the U.S. Army where I served for four years and did two tours to Afghanistan as a communications specialist. I then decided to get out and give it the college try. I graduated from Wallace State Community College with an Associate’s degree, then went for my bachelors at UAB. While in school for my Bachelor degree I started working part time at the YMCA. This is where I found my calling. I loved going to work every day and getting to know my students and their families. I quickly jumped from a summer camp counselor to running my own afterschool program in Hoover. After I graduated with my bachelors I decided to really reach for the stars and pursue my Masters in Physical Education. I thought “I’ve always enjoyed sports and being active, and I love the kids, why not combine the two?” This has lead me to physical education which I strongly believe is one of the most important things we can learn about. I believe it was Jim Rohn who said “Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.”

Hobbies:

 I have a wide variety of hobbies. I enjoy kayaking, fishing, flag football, basketball, tennis, golfing, running, softball, and pickle ball. If it gets me out of the house, count me IN.
