Twenty-six years ago, I started this journey because I loved the game of football. Today, I can honestly say Iβm even more grateful for everything this profession has given me. Iβve had the privilege of coaching in multiple states, at every level of football from rebuilding programs to nationally recognized championship programs. Every stop has been different, every challenge has been unique, and every experience has helped shape me.
Iβm grateful for every opportunity, every player, every coach, every mentor, and every community Iβve been blessed to be a part of. Those experiences have shaped me as a father, as a coach, and most importantly, as a person.
At the same time, Iβve learned that my past experiences donβt define me in my current role. Championships, titles, and previous stops may open doors, but they donβt earn trust with the players standing in front of you today. Young people appreciate your time, your investment, and your commitmentβbut they donβt really care where youβve been. They care about what you can do for them today, how you can help them grow, and whether youβre willing to pour into their lives.
Thatβs what keeps me motivated every single day. To continue learning, continue serving, and continue making a differenceβone player, one practice, and one season at a time.
Hereβs to Year 26. Iβm as hungry and passionate as ever. π
