FLOWOOD, MS (RNN/CNN) - A heart-warming video is getting attention for all the right reasons.
The clip shows basketball players from the Mississippi School for The Deaf receiving a pep talk from one of their coaches toward the end of a Nov. 8 game.
Kenny Griffis shared the video on his Twitter account.
“This coach was remarkable. Just before this, the coach had a conversation with his best player that was the best coaching communication I’d ever seen,” Griffis tweeted.
Bulldogs coach Sekoe White passionately communicated to the team in American Sign Language during a timeout, as they tried to mount a comeback against Jackson Preparatory School.
I sat behind the Miss School for Deaf team last night. This coach was remarkable. Just before this the coach had a conversation with his best player that was the best coaching communication I’d ever seen. Thanks coach. These boys are lucky to have you. pic.twitter.com/t8wJHW9cJk
