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.

#txhsfbchat 4....One month in

What an awesome month of talking football!  I absolutely love reading the tweets from everybody looking forward to Wednesdays and being able to talk football with coaches from all over the state and nation for a couple hours.  The chat has grown so much in this short amount of time.  The first week we started with about 15 people participating and a little over 70 responses, and last night we had almost 100 coaches participating and over 600 tweets!  Reading your answers to each question is so informative and inspiring, and I really enjoy seeing coaches take the conversation further and having their own discussion on the side.  This is what the chat is all about, furthering our knowledge and expanding our PLN.  Keep up the amazing work you're doing and keep telling more coaches to join us each Wednesday at 8pm CST.  See you next week!
