This bill would lead to a $15k annual pay raise for teachers across the board and raise the minimum pay from $33k to $48k. Texas is currently is the bottom 40 of teacher salary, this bill would make us a leader in our country and bump us to the top 10!
To
@GregAbbott_TX
supporters. I encourage you to look at his inconsistencies. I’m as conservative as they come and I can say confidently Texas public schools are not a liberal brainwashing machine! AND if they are it’s his fault because he appointed the head of the TEA. 🤷🏻♂️
Texas is a national leader in education.
Our state’s high school graduation rate is among the highest in the nation.
We will continue to invest in our schools—and our students—to build a brighter future.
Teachers and coaches should create community. Coaches go to fine art events, directors go to athletic events. If you’re an elementary teacher show up on Friday nights for football games and choir concerts. Be leaders in creating community in your district.
Looking to get on zoom calls with other coaches to learn! Nothing overly formal or too long, just a chance to network and learn from those with more experience! Comment or DM me and I can set it up!!

In San Antonio starting tomorrow for
@THSCAcoaches
coaching school! Would love to connect with coaches who are in town early!! Any opportunity to meet more people in the world’s greatest profession is a good one!!
@DavissonDustin
may be one of the best principals in Texas. I know him as coach but knowing how much he cares about kids, any school or district would be blessed to have him leading their school family.
@canyonhscougars
y’all have a great one!
Athletes, this is why coaches that care about you won’t accept not running THROUGH the line. Allowing yourself to come up a half inch short is devastating
That being said this kid gave great effort, the defender just played it perfect. Go watch the film for perfect pursuit angle
Teachers & Coaches, another crucial bill! While you’re talking to your rep about HB1548 and teacher pay also talk to them about HB 680 and removing STAAR!
These two bills go hand in hand and saving $900 million a year that can go to paying teachers!
Q3: How can we encourage young coaches when they see a Sean McVay and a Zac Taylor getting a head coach opportunity at a young age when typically that’s a one off?
#MentorMonday
With as many Xs and Os resources as we have today winning obviously does not come from play calling. It has to come from culture, caring about kids, and setting an expectation of nothing less than best because you care.
@Canyon_Football
might have the best off season tradition in the state! Their draft is a great way to have fun, teach guys professionalism and get a ready to compete mindset!
Big thank you to
@stewart318
and
@All_In317
for allowing me to be a part of this project. Praying that coaches, their wives and athletes would be impacted by these devotionals!
Congrats to
@CoachA_Midway
and
@MidwayFB
! Got the pleasure of playing for him while in HS. No better man to lead the turnaround at Midway, dude loves and cares about that community more than most! Big things ahead!
calling a little league game last night. A dad heckled me the first inning. I calmly asked him to stop or i would have him leave. I ended the conversation by offering the dad a job b/c of the umps shortage. he responded “H*** no I’m not doing that. It’s too hard.” That was that😂
Warning: the mystery man who steals athletic equipment is at large! 10 minutes into equipment check-in he stole a pair of cleats. He’s been practicing this off-season.
learned a lot in 5 years. Advice to coaches finishing school/alt cert programs and getting ready for their first year.

Mentor Mondays is via twitter again tonight. Had great participation last week and think it might be better that way. Gotta be able to adapt! We’ll start at 7! Topic tonight is scheme related! Tag your Xs & Os gurus and let’s get after it!
Talked with a 1st year HC last night who has brought discipline to his program. He mentioned how him and his staff constantly get emails from teachers about how his players acting right has an effect on the rest of the class. Students watch our athletes as an example!
There is nothing better than building a football program that transforms the school, community, and most importantly the lives of the players. Football as a sport is amazing but it’s a vehicle to a bigger purpose!
Year 7 (coaching) starts tomorrow!! So thankful to be able to do what I love!!
Prayers appreciated for the kids I coach, the staff I work with on and off the field and myself!!
Would He be glorified! Colossians 3:23

MentorMonday will happen via twitter this week!! Tag a coach who needs to participate! Topic this week is interviewing! As coaches begin to prepare to look for either their first step or next step what are good questions, red flags and important things to remember! Starts at 7 CT
Fired up for this clinic to happen!! Thankful for so many people who have offered their support to make it happen! About to develop some ATM type offenses for next season!
We are excited to announce the One Back Offensive Clinic coming to the Metroplex June 14-15. We will have speakers on going up-tempo, airing it out, and scoring points! If you’re a coach wanting to take your offense to the next level season this is the clinic for you!
Can’t wait to get back on the grind this year!! Excited for summer S&C, 7-on-7, fall camp and to get ready to go to battle with a group of men with a single goal!

It’s Mentor Monday on a Wednesday!! DM me or

Had the pleasure of meeting Coach Snelson for the first time this week and the meeting was a total blessing. Thankful to have guys like him fighting so hard for our profession
🚨🚨Mentor Mondays is being moved to Wednesday. This is my fault for failing to communicate earlier. I know most people have winter sports on Tuesday nights so we’ll aim for Wednesday 7:00 central. We’ll be zooming so DM for link!! QB Indy is this weeks topic.
I just got off a call with
@onebackoff
clinic sponsor
@modernFB
and I cannot recommend their product enough.
Coaches get real time tendency data from 60 data points in seconds. Letting you know data from down and distance, to field and boundary, and eveyrthing in between!
Someone from
@FranklinLionsSB
needs to present
@THSCAcoaches
convention on hitting. They only have 3 girls hitting under .400. 2 of the 3 are batting in the mid .300s. Insane!!
Highly recommend if you’re a coaching candidate and going to an interview to reach out to
@JeniNeatherlin
. She knows best practices and knows how coaches positively impact a schools culture!
First time
@WeAreAFCA
was amazing. Definitely walking away better than I came in. Thankful to every coach who took a second to pour into a young guy chasing his dream!
Talking to
@coachrsmith12
has me fired up. Dude knows ball and knows people. He knows exactly how to chase a championship ring without losing your wedding ring in the process!!
We’re too excited about this clinic to only make one speaker announcement today, so we’ll make one more!!
Joining us from
@GoETBUTigers
and
@ETBU_Football
is OC
@coachrsmith12
! Coach Smith came to ETBU after being the head coach at SAGU! Dude knows his stuff!!
I decided during my sophomore year
@Baylor
that I wanted to coach so I went to visit with
@coachdwetzel
@BUFootball
and he gave me this list. It has followed me everywhere I go to remind me of my why and how to do the job at an elite level!
If y’all would pray for my good friend Bob Beaudine, his 1 year old grandson is in the hospital rn fighting for his life! Got to see Bob and baby Beau yesterday and pray with the family and they have hit this situation in stride turning to prayer, communion and trusting the Lord!
One of the hardest parts of this profession is finding someone who understands and is willing to do life alongside you despite the demands of your job. Thankful for mentors who have enforced to me how important it is not to force anything.
Fired up for this to release!! Thankful to
@stewart318
for allowing me to be a part of this project. This will be must read for every coach & I highly recommend getting a copy for every member of your family. Do a 30-day challenge! Read your book and talk as a family about it.
We are so excited for 2024! We are believing God will do FAR MORE than we ever dream or imagine.
We are relaunching the podcast.
We have new devos being finalized now (For The Coach, The Coach’s Wife, and The Athlete).
And even more…stay tuned!
#ALLIN2023
There’s no better feeling than knowing you have a circle of people praying for you in what feels like the valley of the shadow of death. So thankful for community who walks alongside and a God who has a rod and staff that comforts even in the presence of my enemies!
Coaches!!!

I’m ready for an opportunity! I traded most of my undergrad and graduate career to volunteer with private schools and learn every part of the job. Laundry, equipment, video, picking up grass clippings at the end of the summer and learning how to best connect with kids!
putting together a clinic the second weekend of June in the metroplex. This clinic will be for spread up tempo and air raid offenses. Please fill out the link if you’re interested. Also feel free to copy and tweet out yourself.

Hot take. Instead of state standardized test I think every state should move to providing one attempt on each test for every junior. It would be a true nationwide benchmark and eliminate the mind numbing amount of testing days and absurd amount of money spent on test creation.
Follow along for a day in the life of a coaches kid…
6:05AM out the door for

for coming out to support! We look forward to seeing y’all back home when we play Whitney on August 26th at 7:30!
To live is Christ, to die is gain. I know Kade is being welcomed hearing “Well done good and faithful servant!”
Christ and Christ crucified!
Love you brother, see you soon!
We are deeply heartbroken by the passing of former Wildcat Kade Parmelly. The impact he left on this team & university will never be forgotten.
Our prayers are with his family during this difficult time.
Last Question for tonight
Q4: What do you do within your teams culture to make your scheme a mindset and not just a set of plays? Include what scheme your school runs!
#MentorMonday
Understanding you are right where you need to be can be a challenge. Thinking about my
@getoneword
I was between discipline, present & surrender. I feel surrender encapsulates the other two pretty well.
Lord, would 2024 be your year and would I be thankful for how YOU lead!
