Coach Steve Velsaquez is in his ninth year as the Varsity Assistant Coach at Bowie, and his 30th year coaching overall. He chose coaching because he enjoys watching young men work toward the same goals he had when he was young. Coach Velasquez played football and baseball at Austin High School, and went on to play baseball at the University of Houston. He feels that sharing his experience with young athletes can show them that they can achieve their goals through sports.
On his days off, Coach Velasquez likes to spend time with his wife Tracy and their two daughters, Malia and Marisela. His daughters keep him busy through their softball practices and games, and he looks back on their births as the best days of his life.
