[Mike Barfield | M.S., CSCS, CNC @_CoachBarfield]

6 years ago, I told my wife in an airport:

“I think I can be a head coach one day.”

She didn’t hesitate—“I believe that too.”

Since then, she’s stood by me through it all.

Today, it’s official: I’m the new Head Football Coach at @CortlandHS_FB .

Let’s work.

Shame on @Stowermikenna for trying to scam one of my athletes. If he reaches out to your players trying to send them electronic checks and that he’s part of @TarletonFB it’s a scam.

[Stephen Garcia @StephenGarcia]

Thank yall from the bottom of my heart! Having the amount of support has been truly breathtaking and extremely helpful. One bite at a time! 🙏 🙏

[Mike Barfield | M.S., CSCS, CNC @_CoachBarfield]

Coaches, remember to be careful not to get caught up in the chase for that next title or position.

I remember this time last year I was interviewing for my head coaching job, just hoping I got an opportunity.

A year later, still a lot of work to do here in Cortland — don’t have time to look for the next big job/opportunity.

Coaches. We don’t expect our athletes to train every single day — so why are you working out daily and never giving your body the rest it needs?

DM me for specialized 1:1 Strength/Nutrition coaching.

[Mike Barfield | M.S., CSCS, CNC @_CoachBarfield]

Coaches, remember this…
