Old school coach memory. Next time you share your dislike for Hudl. Consider this.
It’s Friday night, your game film is on VHS. You gotta stack several VCRs together so you can make copies for your team. 6 hours later, 24 copies made.
Then you get up the next day to drive a copy across town to your next week opponent. You exchange film.
Head home to make more VCR copies to only find out the scout copy was crap. Some jr high kid shot the film.
You move forward with making more copies. Then spend your day driving them around town to your starters.
I’ve coached high school football for 33 years.
I’ve coached teams that have gone 0-10 and teams with that have gone 10-0.
I’ve played for championships and I’ve prayed for first downs.
I’ve lost my cool and I’ve been steady under pressure.
I’ve called some amazing games and I’ve lost games due to foolish decisions.
I’ve laughed and I’ve cried.
What’s remand consistent is the kids. 14-18 years of age that needed a steady voice, someone to believe in them. A leader and a mentor that would bring the best out of them.
Lets keep that in mind as we scheme and dream about next season. It’s all about building champions. One conversation, one practice, one season one life at the time.
I am honored to commit to Hutchinson community college! I give all glory to God for this opportunity and thanks to my family and supporters for their love and appreciation #Run2Score@CoachCross1@RecruitTheO@CoachDrewDallas
Leaders challenge others to be better without tearing them down. Honest feedback is part of the process—but growth only happens if you’re willing to receive it.
• Immature coaches want attention.
• Average coaches want respect.
• GREAT coaches don’t give a dang either way… They simply show up day in and day out, with the sole purpose of serving those they’re blessed to coach!
"You can only coach somebody to the depth of your relationship with them. The better you know them, the harder you can coach them. If it's a surface-level relationship, it will be surface-level coaching." -- Dan Quinn
Football in its essence makes no sense, but yet we have an almost irrational obsession with it. We will go to any lengths, makes any sacrifice, and commit an unlimited amount of time to it just to succeed. Why? Because this game creates the type of men that this world needs!
For those of you in the DC Antler family, you know how important this man is to our school, students and student-athletes. His leadership in the last year is vital to the success of our school, fine arts, and athletics. Give him your support on Feb. 11th!
The art of coaching isn't just about drawing up plays or yelling from the sidelines. It's about inspiring, motivating, and nurturing young athletes to reach their fullest potential. That's where real success lies.
You know what doesn’t win football state championships.
7v7 tournaments.
What does? Dominating the line of scrimmage.
Your path forward is built on the guys in the trenches.
Find them, build them, celebrate them.
And then run the dang ball!
