Doug Davinroy
11th Grade Boys Coach
The game of basketball has offered me opportunities to develop relationships, understand how to learn from winning and losing, and be mentored by great coaches. As far back as I can remember I’ve been around the game of basketball…a typical gym rat. My Dad was a high school basketball coach and ref, and my mom coached cheerleading. I played high school basketball in the Southern Illinois town of Collinsville, a tradition-rich basketball town where I learned the importance of fundamentals from the best coaches around. At Collinsville, I developed lifelong relationships with teammates, alumni, coaches, and fans that have been valuable to me throughout my life. FUN FACT: While playing at Collinsville in the '90s, we were the winningest boy’s high school basketball program of all-time. Unfortunately, we have fallen to 4th place as of 2017.
As an adult, I have had the opportunity to coach my children’s teams. Watching young players develop leadership, team cohesion, mental toughness along with improving their individual, fundamental skills is my focus. I’m a believer that the principles of achievement on the court overlap with the principles necessary to achieve in any professional career. I am passionate about making a positive impact on young players lives.
The game of basketball has been so good to my family and me. We feel so fortunate to help mentor young players and be able to teach them the game of basketball and life. THANK YOU ALL for this opportunity.
