Good Morning Nashville! ☀️ HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY 🇺🇸
As always, we want to thank you guys for supporting us throughout our “Coaching & Mentorship” season this month . It has truly been a great season with great content , and today we’re wrapping up our season with my good friend and good brother … Coach Graham .
Jamonte Graham, born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, grew up in East Nashville in the South Inglewood and Park wood neighborhoods. He attended Goodlettsville Middle School, being a star student-athlete in football and basketball and then continued his education at Father Ryan High School where he became an all state player in both football and basketball (2012-2013).
Once he finished his high school career, he accepted a full-ride scholarship to Tennessee State University to further his education and athletics. After his freshman year there, he transferred to Columbia State Junior College where he became a Conference champion, making the All Tournament Team, and making it to the Sweet 16 of the National Tournament. Graduating from Columbia State with his Associates Degree in 2015, Coach Graham then went and finished his last two years at Cumberland University, receiving a degree in Sports Management in 2017.
Once his college career ended, Mr. Graham ventured into the new career he has today ; coaching 6th and 7th grade AAU with the Team Heavy program. Coach Graham started his high school coaching career at Lighthouse School (2018-2019), where he won a MTAC State Championship and NCSAA Division-4 National Championship. For the last 3 years, he’s coached at his alma mater Father Ryan High School. Coach Graham served as the Assistant Varsity Coach and the Head Coach of the freshman team where he won two championships in 3 years.

As a podcast , we also want to congratulate him on becoming a new dad to twins : a beautiful baby boy 💙 & baby girl 💕 .
