Backed by his defense and platooned teammates, new @GHSWaveFootball quarterback Landry Roddy overcame three interceptions to lead Gallatin to a game-winning drive in his debut at Hendersonville.

You can’t keep choosing chaos and complain about the noise. Eventually you have to understand it’s not bad luck… It’s bad choices.

Don’t assume your students know you care about them.

You gotta show them… every day.

Students don’t know their teachers care about them because it says so on the syllabus. They don’t know because the teacher routinely proclaims to the entire class, “You guys know how much I love you.”

They know because of how you treat them.

You can’t just say it. You have to show it.

When you stop and talk to your students outside of the classroom, you show it.

When a student is having a bad day and you respond with compassion instead of frustration, you show it.

When you notice something is wrong and take the time to ask, you show it.

When they lose someone they love and you call to check on them—or maybe even show up—you show it.

It’s often the little things that convince students that the big thing is true:

My teacher cares about me.

As educators, we should never want our students wondering where they stand with us. Our actions should leave no room for doubt.

And to the leaders reading this…

How does your team know you care about them?

Not because you’ve told them.

What have you done lately that leaves no doubt?

This took me a few days to get out, not easy reliving it again. There are some journeys that change you forever. Jackson’s is one of those.

As his father and his head football coach, I had a front-row seat to the hardest season of his life. I watched the game he loves get taken away in an instant, and then I watched him make the decision every single day to fight his way back.

People see the injury and eventually the return. What they don’t always see are the days in between—the pain, the frustration, the doubt, the early mornings, the late nights, the long hours of rehab, and the moments when progress felt painfully slow.

I saw all of it.

And through it all, I watched my son grow. Not just as a football player, but as a young man. His strength wasn’t measured by how far he could throw a ball or how quickly he could get the ball out and to a receiver. It was measured by how he responded when something he loved was taken from him.

He kept showing up.

There were plenty of times I wished I could take the burden from him. As a coach, you’re supposed to have answers. As a dad, sometimes all you can do is stand beside your son and remind him that the story isn’t over.

Jackson, I hope you know how proud I am of you. Not because you made it back to football, but because of who you became while fighting to get back.

Football will eventually end for all of us. But the toughness, faith, discipline, and perseverance you developed through this journey will stay with you for the rest of your life.

I was blessed to coach you.

I’m even more blessed to be your dad.

Your story was never just about getting back on the field.

It was about getting back up.

And you did.

Thank you to all that played a part in telling Jackson’s story.

When you replace "Why is this happening to me?" with "What is this teaching me?" suddenly everything shifts.....
