Athens Christian School Welcomes Coach Ron Link
 Bio: COACH RON LINK
Coach Link has been a basketball coach and teacher at the high school, Junior College, and Division 1 level for thirty eight years. He has coached and been a guest speaker in summer camps and clinics around the south. He is known for his optimism and enthusiasm, and is also affectionately called the “Quote Man” by many of his former students and players.
He is the author of two books: “50 Characteristics for Completing the Puzzle of Life” and “Rebuilding the Heart: Piece by Piece”. He also travels around the south speaking to major groups, clubs, and businesses.
His ability to motivate and inspire young people and help them in the “game of life” has been the main reasons so many of his teams have come out on top wherever he teaches and coaches. He has taken many of his teams to state and national tournaments. He was selected to coach the Atlanta Team in the famous “Boston Shootout”, and his Atlanta Team won this national tournament five times (1979, ‘83, ’86, ’87 and in ’88. No other city can match the feat of the Atlanta Team. Coach Link was inducted into the “Boston Shootout Hall of Fame” for his successes as the Atlanta coach.
In his thirty-eight years of coaching he has been selected as the “Coach of the Year” nineteen times. He has won over 80% of his games throughout his career.
Coach Link is a “born again” Christian as he accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior when he was twelve years old. He says that his greatest thrill is not his successes but in seeing others excel in their efforts as students and athletes. He says that his greatest honor was being selected to “God’s Hall of Fame” when he was twelve.
Coach Link’s major goal in life is to tell others what Christ means to him. He uses the phrase “Our Mission is Transition” for his teams to get up and down the floor, and it is used in his summer camps to get people from “lost” to “saved”.
Coach Link has been married to Cathy Link for the past thirty years. They have one son, Chad, and three daughters Christi, Sherry, and Jessica. He also has five grandchildren. Basketball
