COACHES: DO NOT open your weightroom or facilities for kids to come workout. It will only put you in a bad position moving forward and give you all kinds of liability issues that you cannot handle. Be smart. If your school is shut down, your program is shut down.

Blessed to say I’m the new Secondary Coach at John Horn High School. As a Skeeter alum I never thought in a million years I would end up here but I’ve always listened to my heart and let God lead the way. I could go on and on but timing is everything. Ready for the journey ahead.
I have officially joined Lovejoy ISD. It is an opportunity that my family and I are extremely excited about. I’m looking forward to building great relationships while doing my part to uphold the Standard of Excellence.

If I could talk to 20yr old me:
1. Love people without conditions, you’re a user & that’s toxic bro
2. Do a better job of building authentic relationships.
3. CONTROL WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL
4. Read more. Sleep more. Listen more.
5. Find ways to express your graditude
6. Shut up
Took me until about 27 to stop looking for the next best thing. I realized I couldn’t look too far ahead and flourish or even value where I currently am.
Treat people right, give everything you got and when opportunities present themselves be ready take advantage! 🐺

Sometimes we just need a fresh start with someone who believes in us!
Coaching is an art form. Give me a young man with an open mind and a full heart and we’ll work each day to maximize his potential.
Shoutout to all the good coaches I’ve had, your belief in me, helped me find…
As a black man, I'm tired.
I am literally out of words for the killing of unarmed black men in America by the people sworn to protect us. It's frustrating, it's sickening, it's exhausting. George Lloyd, I don't know your life's story but I'm sorry it has been ended this way.
A few rules I try live by:
1. Treat people the right way, it cost nothing but is worth everything.
2. Dress nice, how you do anything is how you do everything
3. In any conversation, listen more than you speak, there are lessons to learned from other’s experiences.
4. Serve
High School Sophomores: Do not be discouraged by some of your classmates being pulled up on Varsity while you’re practicing with JV. You may even be second string on JV this season. Keep working, you’re young and your bodies evolve at different rates. Keep working!
Round 3 at Sam Houston State, Friday, 11-30-2018 at 7:00. We play the winner of Spring Westfield & Cy Ranch!
Could not be any happier for this team and especially these seniors. These young men continue to answer the call despite any adversity we’ve faced.

Coaches.
Call your black players.
Call your black colleagues.
Listen & try to understand how they feel. Affirm that you’re here. Affirm that you care about them outside of athletics. Affirm that you’re AWARE. Have genuine discussion about today’s climate.

I’m still excited to sit down and listen to old ball coaches tell stories about stopping the Veer, difference between a 7 and a 9 & who was the best running back they’ve faced or coached.
See y’all in San Antonio!
Coach Dominguez,
Thank you for never giving up on me, being an ear to listen & a strong shoulder to lean on. Thank you for investing in me long after my playing days were done. Thank you for being an example of the coach I hope to become. Thank you for being you! Rest easy! 🙌🏾
Down 14 in the fourth & scored 21 unanswered for the W.
5 def. possessions in the 4th, 0 first downs given up!
We have very little control over the events in our life. We have absolute control on how we respond. Through our response, we control the outcome.

I wish I could find the coach from Florida who told me I was being soft for promoting social distancing a couple weeks ago. Just to check on him. The whole US is shut down, I wonder if his pee-wee team is still practicing 😕
Never thought I’d see the day Jerry Schmidt would wear anything but Sooner gear, good luck at A&M, I hope those Aggies are ready for “Be back at 5 big dog.”
DEAR GOD,
THANK YOU.

If you’re a kid that has signed. I pray there’s someone in your corner that’s helped you realize this is not a time to relax and get complacent. Your work just started. It’s time to put the gas to the floor! This transition time the next 6 months is critical to your development.
First Win as a Coppell Cowboy. So proud of this teams’ toughness, fight and focus. Couldn’t be more proud to represent this great city and coach these amazing young men!

One year can springboard your life to places you never dreamed of.
God makes no mistakes and has a plan for your life and the impact you will make. Put your faith and trust in Him.
Adversity is always temporary. Maximize your opportunities but maximizing your preparation.
You’re only facing what other people have met... & conquered.
KEEP GOING. You already have everything you need within.
Dig deep in times of doubt & despair. What you’ll find is strength, ingenuity & courage. Use those attributes you innately possess to conquer.
GO BE GREAT!
I believe in treating people right, being my authentic self at all times & being a man whose name comes back clean wherever it goes.
Walking in the confidence that my name is good wherever I am is good. Walking in confidence that my name is good wherever I am not is even better.

✅ Moving on to the Regional Final 🏆
✅ 24-20 W over Mansfield Timberview‼️
✅ Played our best when it mattered most‼️
✅ Was the most physical defense on the field‼️
“When in doubt, run through everything moving!”
As I’ve gotten older I’ve began to realize wins and losses aren’t the sole factor in differentiating “good teams” & “bad teams”.
Do your kids love their teammates & coaches?
Do they take pride in their program and city?
Do they consistently uphold the standards that are set?
What a tremendous honor it is to face adversity. Especially knowing on the other side of a challenge is growth and the only way to it is through it.
9-1 District Champs. Excited to start our new season in less than 24 Hours‼️

You can’t be serious. Litrell is & was a saving grace for that program. North Texas is headed in the right direction. 9 wins the last two years. Near the top of the conference. There are only three 9 win seasons in the 35 years before Litrell got there. 1978-2003-2013.
STOP IT!
My support for Littrell is quickly waning.
Maybe I’m jumping the gun by complaining about a coach that will get us 7-8 wins a year, but it’s starting to get tired.
This morning I woke up at 4:30 grateful for the opportunity to do what I love with a secondary who loves what they do!
For some, this will be a season of excuses. For the Leopards, this is a SEASON OF

29 years old in about a hour and more than anything I’m grateful for everything positive in my life. People, places, things, feelings, emotions, connections, relationships, all of it. I’m thankful to be here and consistently enjoying a life worth living.
Got my first win as a coach! Pretty emotional night for the squad. Glad this team and especially these seniors got a chance to put their destiny in their own hands. Win, Lose or Draw I’m proud to be apart of the John Horn Jaguars.

Take full advantage of the opportunity, no matter how big or small it may be. This game is meant to be shared by those who enjoy & embrace overcoming adversity!

Take care of yourself.
You’ve been sitting at home for months. With this heat and the energy you’re giving your athletes, you have to make sure you’re monitoring how your body feels.
Coaches need a gallon a day too and 60 minutes of physical activity a day.
#BeElite
At 28 years old I can honestly say that being an athlete (football, soccer, basketball, & track) has taught me to control what I can control & “play the next play.” That has been the strongest pillar to my mental and emotional health to this day.
Blessed to be apart of a special program with an amazing group of hard nosed young men and coaches. In victory and defeat I am grateful and feel blessed for the opportunity to impact lives and be apart of this amazing program and this great game.

Today I am thankful.
Thankful for the responsibility of leadership.
Thankful for the responsibility of accountability.
Thankful for the responsibility to build genuine relationships.
Thankful for the opportunity to grow.
Lord, thank you for the gift of responsibility and…
Two things that can completely change a DB’s game.
1. Disciplined eyes.
No greater feeing than beating a RB to the hole or WR to a spot because you reacted to a key.
2. Angle Tackling.
Understanding that speed, proper leverage & aggression will dictate where the ball goes.
Players feed off of your energy & your passion!
A good coach makes their players feel like they have a competitive advantage because of him/her.
If you coach with all of you, everyday, then you know this feeling! No place I rather be!

First spring as a Texas High School coach in the books. I’m blessed to coach a group of young men who are not afraid to pay the price. This opportunity is bigger than ball. I get a chance to play a pivotal role in shaping young minds and preparing them for the future.

I was 5’8 167 and played at a true freshman at the University of Oklahoma. I was 5’8 190 and made it to the last day of cuts in the NFL from North Texas. I kept faith, I didn’t come on social media and cry about it. Just goto work and when your chance comes, seize it.
PRO RECRUITING TIP:
GET ON THAT TRACK‼️‼️‼️
That you vs you competition will make a man out of you.
Nothing like the sound of those cleats hitting the rubber next to you!
DO NOT MISS OUT on the opportunity to COMPETE & GROW‼️‼️
I have a few life goals:
1. Become a great husband and father.
2. Stand on EVERTYTHING I say and back it with action.
3. Impact as many lives as possible in a positive way.
4. Leave this world with no doubt that I tried my best to accomplish the aforementioned.
