Chris Catanach has been the head volleyball coach at the University of Tampa for 29 seasons now. And he's okay with the fact that you probably don't know of him.
Working at the same school that he graduated from, he is an example of the type of humility that Christians are called to, in exemplifying that it's not about us, it's about God.
Consider his response when asked about college coaches in sports like football and basketball being household names in a lot of cities and in the world of ESPN and social media, but volleyball coaches getting nowhere near that recognition level.
"From my standpoint I'm totally okay with that. I wouldn't trade my life to be a superstar. If you look at what's happening with (South African runner) Oscar Pistorius, if he was Joe Schmo his life wouldn't be in the papers. I get to live under the radar and do good things and do things right and not be in the newspaper. Those other (basketball and football coaches) are getting paid millions but have the scrutiny that comes with it."
