Father-Son Duo Dane Evans And Damon Evans
Damon Evans was father to his son both on and off the field. Damon introduced his son to football and coached him while he was in school from grade 8 to grade 12. The father-son duo went through a roller-coaster ride at times during the years, but they made it work.
Damon once revealed this during the early years of coaching. He was tough on his son, which certainly dented their relationship. He noticed the bad air and talked to some other guys who have been coaching their sons.
Damon then sat with his son and let him know he was treating him like everybody else on the team. He then tells Dane that he will be his dad after they reach home. With time Damon learned to balance out coaching and fatherhood simultaneously.
Nevertheless, Damons’ coaching and Dane’s hard work have brought him here. He is super proud of his son, and as a father, he always believed in Dane’s abilities.
On the other hand, Dane says his dad is a super organized dad and a coach. While he scrutinizes Dane as a coach before the game, he also cheers for his son.
