Coach Dowdy

McCracken County Defensive Coordinator

[Luke Falk @coachlukefalk]

Every training camp I had at Washington State University, Coach Leach would share the same story.
The story of two kids. The rich kid and the poor kid.

The rich kid has two choices. He can become spoiled, entitled, lazy, and expect everything to be handed to him because he has been given more. Or he can take every advantage of what he has been given—resources, coaching, opportunities—and use it to become even better.

The poor kid has two choices too. He can say, “I never had a chance. Nobody gave me anything. The world is against me.” He can feel sorry for himself and use it as an excuse. Or he can say, “I may not have what they have, but I am going to outwork everybody.” He can become tougher, more driven, and more relentless than everybody else.

It was a powerful message in a locker room full of people from different backgrounds, different families, and different life experiences. Some guys came from wealth. Some came from almost nothing. Some had every opportunity. Others had to fight for every inch.

But despite all of those differences, everybody still had the same choice.

You can take ownership and use what you have as fuel.

Or you can become victim-minded. You can look for excuses, blame your circumstances, become entitled, and convince yourself that because of what you have—or because of what you do not have—you cannot become what you want to be.

It is not about how you start. It is about what you choose to do with how you start.

The rich kid can waste what he has been given or use it to build something greater. The poor kid can use his circumstances as an excuse or as fuel.

In the end, greatness does not come from starting with more or less. It comes from which person inside of you that you choose to feed.

@CoachIvany @FilmHistoric Got to listen to him and Howard Mudd talk about PA passing for about 2 hours when I was a young coach. I still have that notebook with my notes from that clinic. Something I’ll never forget

Ohio State DL working on banded get offs. Focus on adding resistance to the back leg!

The first two steps in the get off are critical, both run & pass. Train to be explosive off the line! @R2X_Rushmen1 @CoachLCTrenches #GoBuckeyes #DLDrills

@CODY_GARDNER Dabbled in some 3 safety stuff. Started running some twists/stunt out of our odd package that was fun to mess with. We got destroyed with injuries this year so I had to get creative with stuff up front

@CODY_GARDNER We have the same tag but we call it “walk”

FREE YOUTH CAMP!!! This Friday, August 2nd from 6-8pm! Just show up at the stadium to sign up! Go Colonels!

[Coach Dowdy @agr_697]

@CoachVass Sniffer back alignment was tipping plays. If the kid lined up outside the TE they were running stretch or throwing the ball. If he lined inside the TE they were running counter GH. Same kid was also tipping off the play in their muddle/swinging gate 2 pt stuff

[Henderson County Football @HCCols_Football]

Proud of this group of guys and all of the adversity they fought through to get to this point tonight! Good luck men! #Built2Last

[Coach Dowdy @agr_697]

@CoachTManes I’m lucky that I have guys that I trust to Run 7 on 7 while I run pass rush stuff with my guys. I still watch the film and provide feedback but I still get the work in with my guys like I did before I started coordinating.
