STOCKTON – Gary Barlow’s personal style and choices as a leader are the byproduct of the many football coaches he has encountered along the way.
He learned the fundamentals of football from legendary Tracy High coach Wayne Schneider. He became a strong collegiate offensive lineman under the tutelage of Bob Cope and Walt Harris at University of the Pacific, and learned how to handle personnel as an assistant under Jack Jordon at Delta College.
He also witnessed how you can encourage a young player even in a moment of disappointment during an encounter with NFL Hall of Famer Bill Parcells.
