“Focus on the process of what it takes to be successful... We’re not going to talk about what we’re going to accomplish, we’re going to talk about how we’re going to do it. We don’t talk about winning championships, we talk about being champions.” - Nick Saban
Dear Teachers everywhere,
Please reconsider failing kids with 69s in the middle of a pandemapacolypse winter/COVID events these kids are facing. Kids have been dealing with blackouts, no heat, no internet and many things we can’t comprehend. It’s ok to have a little compassion.
A man who’s had a profound impact on many, including many he never met. RIP Coach Johnston, you’ve shown all of us what the business of coaching and mentoring young people should be about.
Been a long time coming but can’t be more excited for this opportunity for our family. I couldn’t be more excited to work with a great group of athletes and coaches. This is going to be fun!!!

If these championship games have shown us nothing else, it’s that LITTLE things matter. 1 play, 1 yard, 1 extra point. Everything thing matters, ESPECIALLY the little things.

What a crazy year it’s been, but I’m excited to finally announce that I’ve accepted the OC/OL position at Bay City HS. Thank you Hays High School for the opportunity, what an awesome learning experience it was. I can’t wait to get to Bay City and get to work!!!

5 days into being a Dad and it’s pretty amazing how things 6 days ago that would keep me up at night, wear me down, just don’t matter anymore. Life is too short, find your why, run your race and give it everything you got - let the rest fall where it may. I found mine!

CLASS OF 2038 RECRUIT❗️Parker Wertz - long, rangy athlete, has already started training in anticipation of getting signed. Has done 3 push ups in 2 days of life. By my calculations a push up for every day he’s been alive will add up to a Gazillion - Coaches don’t miss out!
#ELITE
One day you’ll look back at the people who tried to hold you accountable & realize it wasn’t that they didn’t like you, or didn’t care about you. But the opposite, they cared so much that they held you to a higher standard, so YOU could be the best YOU possible.

Some thoughts as I look back on a TOUGH 2 years:
Family first.
It’s just a job but..
Do your job, do what’s right and be you. You can live with that.
Love the kids, they all need it.
If where you’re at isn’t the right fit, you’ll find it - see

Perspective is key.

Not sure what you would call this play, but they trap the 1 tech and wham the 3 tech. Does anyone have any experience with running something like this? Love trapping, but never thought to do this. Pros - cons? Twitter do your thing

Nothing puts life in perspective like feeling one of your boys (twins) kick for the first time. So much to be thankful for and so much to look forward to. The future is so bright, Happy Thanksgiving y’all!

Job gets harder every year! More paperwork, more trainings, more uncertainty within admins, less support from parents and communities. Governing bodies in this state work harder and harder against us every year. Jobs hard.

2021 - year of the Suns in 4 guy and the great TXHSFB Coaching shortage.

To my kids at Stockdale - there aren’t enough words. Thank you guys for allowing me to be a small part of your life. You’ve been a huge part of mine. Love you guys - I can’t wait to see all that you accomplish.

Just my two cents - Read it or don’t, but I had to say something. I think all of us in this profession have a duty to those entrusted to us. I hope we all push to change this word around us for the better.
Coaches in leadership positions are OBLIGATED to coach their players and their coaches!!! If you’re not developing the people around you, how can you call yourself a leader? Leaders serve those around them!
Rain is not an excuse to miss practice! Those of you that DID YOUR JOB, see the picture attached! Those you that didn’t, well... Champions don’t find excuses to skip work. They DO THEIR JOB - rain or shine.
