I figured this would be a nice refresher from the amount of doom and gloom threads everywhere on here..
I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited to coach the group of kids I am now. I LOVE this community and program I’m in. It probably helps that this is my alma mater and I have 3 first/second cousins on the team that are all major contributors, but this group of kids we have is just special.
We only have FIVE seniors this year in a school of five HUNDRED, but this might be my favorite senior class I’ve ever coached. They’re all an embodiment of the community. Hard working, do-it-yourselfers, and are very mature kids. Our starting QB/FS is literally a coach on the field. He’s probably the best athlete we’ve had in the history of the school and he couldn’t be a better face of the program. He’s one of those 4.0 kids who just works his tail off every day to be the best player and student he can be, and does it with a positive attitude. He’s also all-state in 3 sports and is a shining example of the successful multi-sport athlete.
As a team, I don’t know how great we look this year record wise. We are really young and inexperienced up front and really thin defensively. Our first game is next Friday, against a team that ripped our hearts out in the playoffs last year. We had a 10 pt lead with 5 minutes left, and after a turnover and coverage miscommunication, we lost the game by one point. It’s not going to be hard to get our kids motivated for them.
I dont know how good our win/loss record will be, but this looks to be the most fun year of coaching I’ve ever had. I’ve never looked more forward to a week one game than I did now.
To all those who kick off this Friday or next, good luck!
