Tank Giles, a Daytona Beach native, shares how sports helped him navigate a challenging childhood, including family violence that led to being taken from his parents twice and periods living with a football coach and later with his sister. He explains earning the nickname “Tank,” excelling in football, missing a Division I opportunity due to credits, taking a gap year, then moving to Arizona in 2012 to play at Mesa Community College, where an ankle injury ended his playing career and led to a dark period. Tank describes finding purpose coaching at Athletes in Training, eventually becoming owner after serving as YMCA sports director and returning during COVID, and outlines AIT’s recess and after-school multi-sport programs across 73 schools. He also discusses Humble Savage club basketball, Humble Cares nonprofit support for kids in need, leadership challenges, and his mission to teach hard work, discipline, respect, and character.
