The Locker Room

Timothy Thompson grew up in Memphis, and the odds were against him. With no father in the home, Timothy relied on his strong, hardworking mother and a whole village of Christian men and women to raise him. Still, it was in football that he learned discipline, and that's where he earned his ticket out. Armed with a college degree and experience as a collegiate athlete, Timothy returned to Memphis and found his calling. Against all odds, he found great success as a high school football coach, becoming the father figure he never had to hundreds of young men. He fostered their talent. He taught them character. Many of them went on to play professionally in the NFL. And it all started in the Locker Room, where he introduced them to Christ.
