Shooting right into the new year with girls’ Basketball, Coach Shaw is making a mark on Eldorado. He attended Sam Houston State University were he played football; a sport he had played since the age of 6. While playing college football his team won two national championships in 2011 and 2012. Before moving to Las Vegas, Shaw was Networking and coaching basketball in San Antonio, Texas. A good friend of his reached out to him and he applied for a Lifetime Sports teacher. After coming to Eldorado he became the girls basketball coach. “ I love being the girls head coach, I coach with my heart and passion,” he says. He brings a lot of guidance to the kids and the basketball girls at Eldorado.“I'm big on self elevation, Nobody’s perfect but you have to push yourself to do better. I'm doing good but I can do better.”He pushes his girls to do better just as he does. His guidance doesn’t just stay on the court he expects the best from his girls in the classroom. “I don’t allow D’s as passing. For me, Bad grades=Conditioning. The punishment is running for positivity.” Coach Shaw is what he is now because he was self motivated. He moved to Las Vegas because he saw a big opportunity for himself. He took a chance and believed in himself and then he passed this on to his basketball girls and his Lifetime Sports classes. Through all the moving around, Shaw has finally found his place in Eldorado. Building his self elevation, he's taking a strong role in our school. Him being the girls basketball coach shows that he wants to be apart of our school and show some school spirit!
