Dear High School Football Coaches:
Stop chasing the Championship. Most of you will never win one. No matter how hard you try. Spend more time Developing your student athletes as people. If you do that. You will win more championships than you could ever imagine.

HS Football Coaches if you want a “Family” culture. You must “DO” what real families “DO” It takes more than saying “Family” as you breakdown at the end of practice or a workout. There’s levels to this.

Here’s my frustration with some football coaches. Coaches will search high and low for schemes. Sit in sessions at clinics about schemes. But won’t take anytime to develop as a person. How do you lead young people without becoming a better person too?

Coaches have the nerve to tell PLAYERS “WATCH what YOU tweet and RETWEET. It says ALOT about your CHARACTER!” Have you seen the stuff that COACHES tweet and retweet? If kids lose scholarships. Coaches should lose jobs! Might be in the MINORITY on this. I’m cool in that space!

For White HS Football Coaches that Coach in the “HOOD” Your players don’t need a “savior” They need the truth. You must let them know there’s people that look like you that don’t want them to excel and what they must do to circumvent that reality.

I never wanted to coach football. Because most coaches are A Holes. I didn’t want to be like them and if that’s what it takes to be a coach. I’m good. When I got into coaching. My goal was to be the complete opposite

White coaches think they have to do all these special things and you have to reinvent the wheel. Just be authentically you. But you have to connect on a personal and real level. Your players read through the fake stuff.

Best coach I ever played for. A man of character, integrity and honesty. Always had great relationships with Black and Brown players. Not by doing anything special. Just by being himself. Coaches don’t be afraid to show your players who you are.

When I was a Freshman in college I played scout team QB. I had one mission. To try and destroy our defense everyday. Me and my scout squad did that and the defensive coaches were instrumental in getting me and some others moved up. It’s not where you start it’s where you finish.!

Have you noticed that anytime “BEHAVIOR” is brought up in schools it’s always in reference to the “STUDENTS”🤔 Adult behavior in schools is often the problem. Adults who haven’t figured themselves out yet can’t lead students through a transformational process.

At this point in my life “ Player Development” is the work I want to do. I don’t want to football X’s and O’s. I want to to do the X’s and O’s of life relative to football. Most coaches fail here because the focus is football X’s and O’s.

I don’t understand why “coaches” are having a problem with this. Telling another coach how they should run their program is wrong. If you disagree just scroll on by. Coach is doing what he feels is best for his team. Run your team your way.
Crocs and slides are not allowed in my program. The first time it will cost you 50 pushups next I’m taking them until your parent’s come get them!
