Texas High School Football Chat #8 - Two Sport Athletes

We all encourage our players to participate and compete in as many sports as possible.  We know that it directly impacts them as athletes, but it also helps them grow as individuals and opens up opportunities to continue their education in college.  Last night we had an outstanding chat about how we as coaches handle and promote our athletes to compete in as many sports as possible.  I can't help but think of Hugh Sandifer at Abilene Wylie coaching his kids to state champions in football and in basketball.  I am sure he had some two-sport athletes on those teams, and he demonstrated how to be a two-sport coach!  

Continue to take pride in your athletes and watching them compete year round! 

Texas High School Football Chat #6 In-Game Adjustments

Thank you for keeping #txhsfbchat going strong.  I know we are all in the midst of our second sports, attending clinics, and just working through our daily lives.  Yet you still take the time to participate and share your thoughts and ideas about high school football each Wednesday night at 8pm.  Thank you for being generous with your time and knowledge.

I am also creating a "Suggestion Box" for you to have an input on future topics.  I'm not running out of ideas, but I would enjoy seeing what you would like to see more of, less of, or focus on from week to week.  Thank you for all that you do.

Texas High School Football Chat #5

We as coaches are presented with the amazing opportunity to impact students on a daily basis.  Our job is one where we see people from all walks of life needing different levels of attention, direction, and support each day.  We have a responsibility to be examples of quality, caring, and responsible individuals to these students.  Through the sport of football we are blessed to have direct influence over young men who want to be part of the team. 

This week's chat explains what we are all capable of accomplishing and the character building we perform as part of our job.  Thank you for being warriors for these young men on your football teams and to the students you encounter every day.  You are making a difference!

The topic of the third week was what you do with your offseason program.  We had a great turnout, and the responses were outstanding.  Every week we add new participants and the conversation keeps getting better and more informative.  Thank you to all who were able to participate last night, and also to those who enjoy following along.  I appreciate you all.

Our second night was phenomenal!  We had over 40 different coaches contribute and well over 400 responses!  What an amazing night!  Here is an archive of last night's chat.  There was so much good information from so many different people that I had a tough time choosing what would be included, so I pretty much kept all of it in...I hope y'all enjoy reading through the responses as much I have.
