Greenville High School football coach Jeremy Williams, featured on the season 7 finale of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, is the subject of an upcoming documentary titled “Season of a Lifetime.”
The 38-year-old coach, who is dying from ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, has been an inspiration to his Greenville High School Patriots football team, leading them to an undefeated regular season in 2009, losing in the second round of the Georgia state championship.
Williams married his high school sweetheart 16 years ago. The couple have a daughter, Josie, 8, and a son, Jacob, who was born with spina bifida, and is confined to a wheelchair. The ABC TV show built a new home for the family to accommodate their health issues. They also remodeled the Greenville High School fieldhouse.
Williams gathered with family and friends, including Endorphin Entertainment/Fisheye Media’s Rick Cohen, to watch the May 16th episode of “Extreme Home Makeover”, and to celebrate his son Jacob’s 7th birthday.
Cohen is filming a documentary about Williams’ courageous story, which includes interviews of those closest to the coach.
