What A Summer

Well, as many of you know, I recently accepted a new job. This job was a job that I was very excited to receive. I have always dreamed about coaching in a school with such a great tradition and staff as this school does. When I first took the job, I was going to coach the Freshman football team. I got a call today from the Head Coach asking if I would be interested in coaching on the Varsity. I mean what was I suppose to say? This school has become one of the best football schools around and I could be a part of it. What a blessing!! I am so thankful that God has placed this before me. I mean, I have always been a basketball guy.... I wasn't a star football player by any means, but I am a great student of the game. I have learned more football the last few years than I ever thought I would....Funny thing is I have soooo much more that I have to learn. In fact I don't think you can ever learn to much. A coach is a lot more than a person who was successful in high school or someone who played college ball. In my opinion to be a coach, you have to love what you do, be able to help kids improve on techniques, be a great teacher, and most of all someone they can count on and look up to. Yeah, I wasn't a great football player. I played a few years, but I consider myself someone who loves sports. I know football! I know basketball! I know baseball! I know track! But I consider myself a great coach because I want to be a great coach. I have the desire and determination to teach kids about the fundamentals and overall objective of each sport. Most of all, I am a great coach, because I try to be a great role model and give those athletes 100 percent of my heart. Please keep myself and my family in your prayers as this dream to be a successful high school coach is in full effect.
