Flower Mound Marcus Head Coach Kevin Atkinson Announces Retirement

On Wednesday morning at the advice of his physicians and his family Flower Mound Marcus head coach Kevin Atkinson made the difficult decision to retire from coaching. Coach Atkinson the past three years has battled a number of health conditions including an ongoing battle with Parkinson’s disease and a stroke in 2020. “It is extremely difficult to walk away from a profession my family and I both dearly love, especially at a place I consider my ‘dream job.’ I’ve never felt like I was ‘going to work’ a single day in my career,” said Atkinson.

“Having the opportunity to finish my career here at Marcus where it all began in 1992 with my wife Chrissy is an incredible story. I have had the honor of speaking into the lives of countless players, coached alongside great coaches, and served with strong, supportive administrators. I am grateful for all those moments along the path that prepared me to return to Marcus – to return home,” said Atkinson in a statement.
