People say that some individuals are born to coach. To Sam LoFaso, coaching was his lifelong dream, and Sam was most inspired by his high school football coach, the legendary Larry Bruno.

Sam graduated from Monaca High School in 1960 and from Wichita State University in 1965. That year, Sam began his coaching career at Wichita East High School, as the football team's offensive coordinator. But then Sam had the great opportunity to return to his roots in Beaver County as an assistant football coach at his Alma Mater: Monaca High School. Sam became the head football coach for Monaca in 1972, and, four years later, Monaca won the WPIAL Championship.

In 1978, Sam was offered the head football coaching job at Quaker Valley. Six years later, Sam produced a section championship and a trip to the WPIAL playoffs. Sam still holds the all-time winning record for most wins at Quaker Valley.

Following his successful career at Quaker Valley, Sam was offered the Center High School head football coach position, where Sam coached from 1984 to 1986. Sam then became the head football coach at Avonworth High School, from 1987 to 1990. During this period, Sam was also selected to be the head coach of the Penn/Ohio Game.

After Sam retired from coaching football in 1993, Sam devoted his time to softball with Pennsylvania Chaos Traveling Softball. In 2004, Sam was recruited by Vincentian High School to become the head softball coach, where the team excelled and became fourth in the WPIAL. In 2006, Chatham University offered Sam a head softball coaching position to establish a competitive softball program. Sam remained at Chatham until 2011, when, because of the extensive travel and time constraints, he accepted an offer to be the head softball coach at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart High School. Sam took OLSH to the playoffs in 2011 and coached at OLSH until 2016.

In 1997, Sam founded the Quaker Valley Sports Hall of Fame and, in 2000, Sam was inducted into that Hall of Fame.
