"Coach Kurt Hines carries an energy that you connect with immediately. He spoke about FINDING YOUR WHY which is about finding the purpose in your life. It struck a chord with me enough to analyze why I do what I do. I'd highly recommend bringing him in to speak and spur some thought in your organization."

"I've been aware of Kurt Hines through social media for several years, and I've been IMPRESSED from afar by his inspiring message and growing level of influence. But I had the privilege of sharing the stage with Kurt at a coaches event in 2018, and he made an IMPACT on not only me, but the entire audience. He exudes with a spirit of wisdom, encouragement and authenticity."

"His personality has its own gravitational pull; people simply can't be around Kurt without noticing his intense drive and charisma as a coach. He attracted more than half the roster into the weight room within weeks... his friendly demeanor was infectious and his personal relationship with everyone was what kept people engaged. I credit him with turning me into a defensive all-state athlete with no positional experience to work with."

"Kurt is so much more than a 'football' coach. I learned from Coach, not only the fundamentals of football, but life lessons that have impacted me to this day. Before each game, as we would walk out onto the field, Coach would look back and say, 'It's a great day for football,' no matter the weather or circumstance. This simple phrase truly instilled in me a sense of appreciation of the most important things in life."

"Kurt wasn't only coaching me to be a better coach, but there was something else there. He was showing us all how to live the best life we could live. He was showing us that being a coach wasn't just about getting the team to the playoffs. Kurt was guiding us all to becoming better people."

"His relentlessness, determination, drive, experience, and love for the game brings everyone together as not only a team, but a family. Coach Hines has not only changed the way I play, improving my ability on the field, but his strong faith has made me a better human being."

"He not only teaches the sport of football, he teaches his young men the importance of being a good man. He emphasizes honesty, loyalty, character and kindness. My youngest son wanted to quit the team mid-season. After meeting with Coach Hines, he decided to finish the season. At the Senior Banquet, Kurt spoke about his integrity and how he withheld his commitment — I don't think my son will ever forget that moment."

"Kurt's ability to reach into each player and to touch upon their individuality goes beyond how they ultimately perform on the field. In fact, it is how each one of his players acts away from the field that represents how much Kurt influenced their lives. Kurt also imparts upon these young men the importance of self-worth and living your life with respect for others."
