A eiOSil LOOK BROTHER ANTON Bro. Anton is one of the last of a quickly vanishing breed, a brother who both teaches and coaches. Coaching is really much easier than teaching, Brother explains, because the kids you ' re working with want to learn about the sport and conse¬ quently they listen.” Although coaching basketball and baseball takes much of Bro. Anton’s free time, he throughly enjoys work¬ ing with the athletes. I’ve always liked the competition involved with games. Ploting strategy against an opponent is a tremen¬ dous challenge.” One of Bro. Anton ' s favorite pastimes is playing chess. Each piece on the board has a unique personality, he says. A good chess player has to learn their personalities and the best way to use them if he is going to win.” Brother carries this comparison into his coaching. A coach has to determine the individual tal¬ ents of each of his players and see how he can mesh them into a winning unit. Bro. Anton teaches math, religion, and world history. Of the three he prefers math because he feels he can help students learn to think more logically through math. Whether the site is a classroom, or a playing field, Bro. Anton focuses his attention on getting his students to accept challenges. 24 Academic Avenue
