It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Coach Rocky Gholson🤍
Rocky was a huge part of the Compton Youth Academy, serving as our Education Coordinator and as a mentor to countless young athletes. His impact was felt every single day.
Rocky planted the seed of “Conceive it. Receive it. Believe it. Achieve it.” Words so many of our athletes still carry with them. Former student-athletes would return from college just to share how deeply Rocky shaped their lives, both on and off the field.
He reminded our youth of the power of education, using it as a vehicle to reach their goals and dreams. He preached the importance of being contributors to society, and Rocky, we want to thank you for being exactly that—for this academy, for our athletes, and for our community.
Your impact spans generations, and your legacy will continue to live on through every life you touched. 🕊️❤️
Rest in peace, Coach Rocky.
Conceive it. Receive it. Believe it. Achieve it.❤️
With a heavy heart, we are saddened to share the passing of Coach Rocky Gholson. Rocky was the education coordinator for MLB Compton Youth Academy, MLB Develops, & always encouraging our athletes in and out of the classroom. We send prayers and condolences to his family and loved ones.
Conceive it. Receive it. Believe it. Achieve it. ❤️

Recently, we had another wonderful camp with @mlbya in New Orleans. We had a blast teaching launch angle, friction when sliding into a base and most importantly everyone had fun! #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization #mlb
