husband/father/Mesa Ridge HS 🏈 Coach. Always Compete, Never Give Up, Finish Strong & Have Fun. Encourage, Inspire, Mentor, Motivate, Teach, Lead by Example

[Coach Hines 🇺🇸 @CoachKurtHines]

Hills I will die on as someone who has coached high school football for over 29 years:

1. If you are not PASSIONATE about blessing, serving, and empowering those you are blessed to coach, this profession is not for you.

2. As much as we need to know our trade, getting to know (and to love), our players is far more important.

3. This is an INTENSE game, and it’ll never be “just a game”, but it IS a game. Remember that when you’re with your team, and more importantly, remember that when you’re with your family.

4. Just as we teach our athletes to “leave things better than they found them”, we need to leave our athletes better than they were when they first entered into our program. Never let a day pass without pouring into each and every individual.

5. Life is complicated enough, let’s not complicate the game in such a way that we take the joy of it away from others. In other words… Keep it simple.

6. Our words carry little (or NO), value, if we don’t practice what we preach. WE as coaches should be learning and growing each and every day, just as we expect our athletes to.

7. As much as we all want to win those championship rings for our athletes, make sure you don’t lose your wedding ring in the process.

8. The athlete that may be “difficult to reach/teach” (the one who may get on your last nerve more than you could ever imagine), is someone’s EVERYTHING. Get to know them as human beings, find out what motivates them, and do everything you can to help them to thrive.

9. Be where your feet are. Don’t fall into the trap of chasing logos and thinking that a higher division, a bigger school, or going from HS to college, or even college to the pros, is going to be more rewarding or fulfilling.

10. The legacy you leave as a coach will never be determined by your wins and losses, but by the lives you were able to change for the better!
