A Letter From Our New Football Coach |
|
Dear Lexington Catholic Alumni,
My words won’t do it justice to describe how blessed and honored I am to be your Head Football
Coach. I am a man of faith and firmly believe this was all in God’s plan to guide me and my
family to Lexington Catholic. Both my wife and I grew up in Northern Kentucky and have had
countless family members, including my wife, who studied and graduated from the University of
Kentucky. We could not be more excited to make our way back home to the Bluegrass State.
The decision to come to Lex Cath was an easy one. The students here are committed to
excellence, we have great support from our parents, and our administration understands the
value athletics plays in the student experience. My wife and I wanted to be a part of a tight-knit community and that’s exactly what we found here in the Knight community.
Head Football Coach is my title, but my purpose is to develop young men to maximize their God-given gifts to be the best version of themselves and enhance their communities in a positive way. The environment we will create within our football program will be based on three pillars:
1. Relationships: Creating and developing life-long relationships.
2. Effort: No one will outwork us. Greatest equalizer.
3. Kaizen Mentality: Quest for continuous improvement. There is greatness in everyone.
There are big things to come in the future. Your Knights are working their tails off this
off-season. I can’t wait to meet you all in the future. Come out and support your Knights this fall when we hit the field on Friday nights at Joseph K. Ford Stadium!
Thank you again for welcoming me and my family into the Knight community. GO KNIGHTS!
Bert Bathiany V
Head Football Coach
