Life High School Waxahachie November Coach Spotlight

Coach Veteto is Waxahachie’s Athletics Spotlight Coach of the Month for November! He recently earned his CDL license and wasted no time putting it to great use. While driving the volleyball team to a district tournament, he stepped in as interim coach for the first game and led the team to victory in the Silver Bracket Championship. Coach Veteto's leadership extends beyond the court. When faced with a scheduling conflict involving football players, band members, and basketball players all having events on the same day, he devised a detailed and strategic plan that ensured all students could participate and enjoy their activities. His flexibility, teamwork, and strong organizational skills make him an invaluable asset to our team.
