From Hall monitor to Doctor in Education! 🎓
Let me reintroduce myself: M.T. Tyeskie, Ed.D. from Liberty University!
Not bad for an ole football coach! 🏈📚
From the sidelines calling plays to earning a Doctorate in Education, what an incredible journey of grit, growth, and God’s faithfulness. Graduation was awesome. Always remember: it’s not where you start, it’s where you finish. It’s never too late to level up.
Ready to keep pouring into the next generation! 🙌🏾🔥🔥💪🏾

[Dr. M.T. Tyeskie @MTTyeskie1]

I never take for granted how those three letters feel because I know exactly what it cost to get here, EdD.
This journey didn’t start in a classroom. It started on a football field in Dallas, Texas a kid from Lincoln High School with a dream bigger than his circumstances. It continued through the hallways of Louisiana Tech, where I learned what it meant to compete at the next level. Three ACL injuries each one a moment that could have defined my limits, but instead refined my resolve.
I lived in the locker rooms at Molina, Skyline, Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Lincoln, and North Dallas and Conrad, where I poured into young men who needed someone to believe in them before they believed in themselves. 42 college scholarships. Countless lives changed. That was never just coaching. That was calling.
It showed up in the late nights after long days as an Athletic Coordinator, an Assistant Director, and now as Director of Athletics at DeSoto ISD still learning, still leading, still serving.
And through all of it every setback, every surgery, every season of doubt God was the constant. “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” -Joshua 1:9
That scripture carried me into rooms I wasn’t sure I belonged in. Into a doctoral program at Liberty University that challenged everything I thought I knew about leadership, systems, and self.
Today, I stand on the other side of that journey.
Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership and Administration from Liberty University. To every coach, player, colleague, and mentor who poured into me along the way, this belongs to us.
If you’re in the middle of your storm right now, I need you to hear this: don’t stop. Chop the wood. Carry the water. Do the work nobody sees, so the world can witness what God ordains.
The doctorate is done. The mission continues. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
