staff as Assistant Head Coach. Congrats coach and excited to have you on board!
Currently working through my Ed.D dissertation. Essentially my topic is on the effect on a student athlete when their football program is eliminated. My lit review encompasses academic and non academic affects of participation.
Please send my way any articles or studies!
I get asked all the time as a football coach about my boys, and I couldn’t care less that my oldest Kyle doesn’t play football. He is a freaking stud in the band and I will be there supporting him always. So proud of him. ❤️
@ChattinKeith
Constantly striving to be where my feet are. Playoffs week 1 - but it’s been a long 6 months since spring ball. People underestimate how emotionally exhausting being a HC is. You’re constantly giving your energy out and rarely refilling you’re own cup. Grateful for my brothers.

Loved your breakdown and all the work you put in. Thank you.
The original chart didn’t have same race crime, and while not a total picture, it seemed as if the point of it was to show the race baiting that surrounds us constantly.
Your chart can also be very misleading. As

When I started mine I was 27 with 2 under 8 . A teacher, football coach, and worked weekends driving cabs/Uber. Success takes what it takes, you either do it or you don’t! Go get it!
In a tough loss last night, Sophomore David Drennan had himself game. 501 yds rushing, 6 touchdowns, 7 tackles, 1 sack.
2nd most rushing yards in 1A history. Way to ball out David!
I have resigned as Head Coach of the Gila River Hawks. Wish the best for the HJCAC and it’s players. Arizona student-athletes need JUCO football.
Excited for the next adventure!

@alaschools
just let a man go who not only is one of the best coaches to ever do it, but a man of immense character. A walking example of your RAISE standards. SMH.
Open invite - if you are wanting to get involved in coaching JUCO football in AZ - reach out. Have some spots I’m looking to fill.

So excited to announce our DB coach! The man, the myth, the legend - Soon Rasavong! All who know him will speak of his character and grit! Man of service and excellence. DB’s - reach out and be ready to be challenged!

@Coach_SoonR
Not what we wanted, but hats off to San Manuel.
I am proud of my dudes. From 0-7 to playoffs - they had to buy in and grind throughout all the adversity. And that’s the lesson football is supposed to teach. Keep fighting, always. Be disciplined. Love you dudes.
@supiefootball
IF YOU ever had me as a teacher or coach ....
Please reply letting me know what’s going on in your life, how your doing, and if there is anything I can do do for you.
Please tag other classmates. Would love to hear from as many of you as possible. Thank you 😃

JUCO football is about opportunity. Opportunity to grow, to develop, to change your situation. Are you willing to pay the price success demands?

A credential shows value through commitment to the profession and entry level abilities/knowledge. I agree that it doesn’t show expertise, just as a 1st year RN isn’t an expert. But they typically have a lot more understanding of their profession than an outsider.

Congrats man! I have met few individuals who pursue excellence as relentlessly as you do. Get it!
And... these people on here are clowns. Saw a quote that essentially said, don’t pay attention to criticism from people you wouldn’t seek advice from. Ignore em. 👊
So happy for my dudes

In 2017 we played our first game in a city park. Now you’re at the mountain top. Enjoy it! Character + Chemistry = Championships. In football and life. Love you dudes and thank you. ♥️
Football is fun. And it gets your competive spirit going .... but this is the reason why I ... and most coaches I know... dedicate our lives to a game.
Building up these young men is what it’s all about.
Exciting to see so many coaches committed to getting better and making our youth not only better ball players, but developing men of character.

Regardless of if there is or isn’t a god, most forms of Christianity teach to love and serve others... If someone dedicates their life towards that pursuit... is that really something to be sad about? Or could the world use more people on that pursuit ?
Our world needs more strong men of character who can be leaders in their families and communities. Most coaches coach because we are aware of this need and are passionate about it. It’s more than just a game.

welcomes Kyle Heiner, joining our staff as an Offensive Analyst and Assistant Recruiting Coordinator. Almost a decade coaching offense, picking up 2 Utah State Championships along the way! Recruits in the Northwest - reach out to

@RealCandaceO
Both can be right.
Cops need more training on use of deadly force, understanding perspectives and their own bias, defusing situations without aggression... all of it.
And parents need to be more engaged and take accountability for the development and character of their kids.
@JUSTCHILLY
There are no rules. But coaching is a tight brotherhood, integrity and relationships matter. And your character is all you have at the end of the day.
Last night was my first practice as the Offensive Coordinator and Assistant Head Coach at Coronado HS. Excited about this opportunity and putting in the work!
Grateful for the coaches and players that have helped get me here... and mold me into the coach and man I am.
Get it!
A speaker in church today said his wife told him that watching football on Sunday stripped their home of the spirit... so he got rid of it.
I thought he meant his wife.
He meant the TV. 🤷🏻♂️
We have some hirings we will be announcing today, the first of which is “THE” Coach Seth Lanzel! Coach will be working with the OL. So big dawgs who are wanting to eat, reach out to

Fenrir (Loki’s Son) never stopped growing. The Gods chained him out of FEAR, but he broke free. He grew so big that during Ragnarok he swallowed Odin and the MOON whole.
Be like Fenrir. Never stop growing. Break the chains of what limits your potential. Even when that is you.

@HJCAC
I wrote my dissertation on the impact on the student athletes when MCCCD cancelled their programs. You can read it and highlights here…
HJCAC is meeting a real need in our communities! Our most at-risk communities need football most!
I love football. I love the lessons it teaches, the courage it inspires, and the determination it demands.
Football at its purest is played for the love of the game, for your brothers besides you.Friday Nights in Fall is footballs finest hour.
Today... is just entertainment.

I may not be in the majority here - but why does it matters? Adults change jobs. Coaches change schools. Kids go to schools for different / better academics and fine arts all the time. Why care if a kid chooses to go to a school that fits his / her athletic goals better?
Coaches - - - check out c/o 20 WR Wyatt Hayes. 632 yds rec in 5 games. Great hands, and a physical football player! Needs a place to play next year!

@goldenjames82
I grew up in Chico and Paradise at the same time. Played against Aaron in HS, but as kids we would play pick up games at the school together.
In HS he was good, but NOBODY thought he was next level. His belief and pursuit of his goals is what is most impressive about him.
@AZHSFB
Seen those kids and men in that program work hard for the last 4 years. Most people don’t see all the work that it takes to get to that point. Nothing is ever given. GN Football got off the ground in Spring 2017 with 13 kids. Hard work pays off. That’s the lesson.
We have skycoach, no issues! Much better than Hudl sideline in my opinion. Get a good person to set it up right and will work everytime, can’t say the same about Hudl.
@IrishCoachT
@RunThePower
@Sky_Coach
Yes, about 50% success rate with Hudl. Always lost connection in game. No issues at all last night with SkyCoach. Very pleased!
I don’t understand the mindset of taking this decision away from the parents.
Personally, my boys won’t play tackle until they are older (8, and 7 now) ... but that is and should remain my decision.
Get your act together CA!
@AlexRotsko
I respectfully disagree.
Learning to love and embrace the grind can be a precursor to excellence. The path to our goals is often tough and uncomfortable, and typically is a “grind”. But learning to love that grind can allow for a lasting and transformational growth mindset.
I am biased... but that entire staff is filled with men of high character who are just as passionate about developing those young men as future fathers, husbands, and leaders.... as they are about the X’s and O’s. Great dudes! And great piece
@azc_obert
People want to end football for our youth.
Football changes lives, teaching discipline, commitment, hard work, brotherhood... and more, on a level nowhere else seen.
In a world filled with weak men, football creates strong men of character. We need more football, not less.
It’s not just our fight.
The responsibility for harm to students arising from these hazards falls primarily on school officials & it is they who can eliminate the hazards by terminating the programs.

I haven’t seen an injury difference at the HS level from grass vs turf… and a poorly maintained grass field can be scary. Would love to see data on that.
But as a coach I love having a reliable and lined playable surface. And the kids prefer them.
