My senior year of high school when I realized I not only didn't have the ability to go to college, but I couldn't even start in high school. After that I started paying more attention to what everyone else had to do on a particular play. I still have some of the weekly game plans that my coaches made for certain games, all with different blocking adjustments and new passing plays. Also, our coaches were great men who continue to influence athletes years after they graduate.

I'm a young guy aspiring to be a coach, especially on the offensive side of the ball. I was born, raised and still live in the suburbs of Buffalo, NY. I played 4 years of high school football for one of the best teams in the area where I grew up (got to play @ Ralph Wilson Stadium twice). Even though I played football in Western New York my team traveled often and played games against different schools from other states (mostly PA and OH). Even though we went to Ohio twice a year and got our butts kicked 3 of the 4 times, playing in front of an Ohio crowd was one of the best experiences of my life. In my junior year we beat a team from Cleveland in their home field, and the next week we were nationally ranked. Because one of our players was heavily recruited by Ohio State we got to practice in their practice facility TWICE when we played in Cincy, and it was an awesome sight to see. During my senior year I knew that I wasn't the best player on the field, which is where my passion for being a coach began.
My offensive preferences are definitely one back formations with an emphasis on zone runs and drop back passes. I would love to be under center even with 4 receivers, but depending on talent going shotgun would not kill me. I don't really have a preference for defenses, so whether it be a 4-3, 4-4, 5-2 or 3-5 it doesn't matter to me.
But to wrap it up I am a huge fan of the game, I love learning about it, and this summer after I graduate from college I'm hoping to volunteer at local high schools in order to learn some more and get a chance at one day becoming an offensive coordinator or even head coach.
