Maurice Allen, one of the more than 1,800 service members certified to coach through Soldiers to Sidelines, spoke to Fox News Digital about the charity aimed at helping veterans.
Maurice Allen has worn many different hats in life. He is a U.S. Army veteran, a husband, a father and a football coach. He is also a 'soldier coach.' Allen, a retired Army communications specialist, is just one of the more than 1,800 'soldier coaches' certified through the veteran charity Soldiers to Sidelines that was able to find a renewed purpose after his military service. 'I played high school football. I kind of always knew I wanted to be a coach.
' Bernstein admitted that he was not initially interested in the idea. He was working on perfecting his own coaching technique with the hopes of returning to the NFL. But after much persistence, Bernstein obliged and held a seminar that just six people attended. To his surprise, Bernstein’s plans for his future had shifted in that moment and Soldiers to Sidelines was born. More than 1,800 soldier coaches have now been certified through the program across eight different sports.
