Otis “Coach” Brody is an Olympic gold medalist, coach of the Defenders youth track team, and is a taxicab driver by day. Coach deeply loves the sport of track, and wants to see the youth of the city have something better in their lives to focus on, so he volunteers to coach. Coach comes to recognize potential and similarity in Ghost, as Ghost, like Coach, has had a difficult life. Coach’s father stole his gold medal to use for drugs that led to his death. Coach does not want to see any of the kids on the team go down the same path, so he ensures to hold them accountable for their actions, responsible for making things right, and making sure to provide a moral example for them.
