Join Dad-scussions this Thursday from 5:30pm - 7pm with Laney Coach Beam to discuss designing your future
Opening remarks by Alameda County
Supervisor Richard Valle
Coach Beam, Laney College's Football Coach is best known for appearing on Season 5 of Last Chance U documentary that premiered on Netflix in July 2020.
In his entire 40-year career, Coach Beam has coached 20 athletes who went on to play in the NFL. Seven of them played in the Super Bowl. Some NFL pros who trained under Coach Beam include former Denver Broncos running back, CJ Anderson, and former Oakland Raider cornerback, Sterling Moore.
Coach Beam doesn’t just train championship-winning athletes. He’s a mentor who goes above and beyond for his athletes.
When Netflix announced that the final season of Last Chance U is heading to Laney College, the experienced winning coach made it very clear that Laney College is not a last-chance college. Right before the cameras started rolling, Beam told his young athletes that.
“I told them we’re not ‘Last Chance U,’” Beam said. “We’re your first chance. We’re your Best Chance U.”
