As a coach, it has been a joy seeing his past athletes go on and play at the next level; many have gone on to have great college careers and some have made it to the highest level, playing in the NFL.
DALLAS – FT. WORTH, TX, September 12, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- William Logan Harben has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Mr. Harben has earned distinction for more than 25 years of dedication in the fields of athletics and sports education. As the athletic coordinator of the Eagle Mountain-Saginaw Independent School District in Tarrant County, Texas, he motivates young athletes to reach their personal goals while also overseeing operations of the sports program, including writing practice scripts, conducting off-season workout sessions, budgeting and checking grades. Before joining the Eagle Mountain-Saginaw Independent School District in 2014, Mr. Harben served as an athletic coordinator and head football coach for Nichols Junior High School in the Arlington Independent School District.
A naturally competitive person, Mr. Harben traces his love for sports back to his childhood. He was born in Ft. Worth, Texas and raised in the small west Texas town of Dumas. He was recognized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association for his performance as a high school football player, was included in Who's Who in America of High School Athletics and played football while pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Education, earned in 1983.
Though his professional journey has been filled with many memorable moments, Mr. Harben is especially proud of the relationships he has built with students, having led many of them through successful journeys in both academics and athletics. As a coach, it has been a joy seeing his past athletes go on and play at the next level; many have gone on to have great college careers and some have made it to the highest level, playing in the NFL. As a commitment to his field, Mr. Harben is a member of the Texas High School Coaches Association and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and he is a past member of the Tri-State Super Gridiron Team. In 2022 he was named M.S. Coach of the Year by the Eagle Mountain-Saginaw, ISD.
Mr. Harben has always had a knack for telling motivational and inspirational stories that he used as a tool to encourage his players and students. His storytelling has now led him to a new and exciting career of writing mystery/thriller novels blended with a bit of ghostly paranormal activity. His first novel, "I've Been Waiting" is available on Amazon and won the Literary Titans Book Award for the month of August. The book, which was expanded from an eight-page short story, was inspired by a recurring dream about a distraught man who received guidance from a spirit. Mr. Harben's novel is not the first to emerge from his family; he is related to William Nathaniel Harben, an American author active in the early 20th century and James Logan Harben. Looking toward the future, he expects to write several more books that continue the story of his first paranormal mystery, and to become active in Texas-based writers' associations.
