Story Summary

Dan Rolfes is a coach because of relationships.

Now in his early 50s, the Incarnate Word Academy athletic director and girls’ basketball coach started his journey toward that title as a child, playing for his father.

His first volunteer coaching gig was also because of a relationship.

“In college, I was dating my wife, Lisa, and her younger sister’s middle school team needed a coach,” Dan said. “I volunteered and enjoyed the heck out of it and just kind of kept going.”

“Sports has been our lives,” Lisa, who coached the same sister’s middle school soccer team, said. “It's part of our kids' lives, and we've just met this great community from sports.”
