Vaughn Van Dame prepped at La Cueva High School (Albuquerque, NM) before completely dropping out of school without graduating. He ended up getting his GED and took a chance on JUCO. That ended up being one of the biggest decisions for him as JUCO has never left him since. From New Mexico to Kansas, Arizona, South Dakota, Mexico, Texas and now Iowa. He has put in the miles and his journey reflects that.
He has had the opportunity to rewrite his own narrative and give back to the community that helped save where his life may have gone. He works everyday to be the coach he never had and influence those around him to continue their own journeys to find success on and off the field.
