I am 25, married with no kids. I was raised in Cuero, Texas. I would like to start off by saying that coaching in the public school system has been very rewarding for me. I have been coaching since I was thirteen. I started coaching soccer for the youth league in my hometown. I also coached Little League Baseball. When I was seventeen I helped coach an all-star team that won the State Championship and moved on to play in the Regional Finals in Louisiana. I graduated from Sam Houston State University in the summer of 1996, August 19. I moved to Crockett, Texas on the 20th and started working for Crockett High School on the 21st as a teacher/coach. I was the seventh grade football coach and basketball coach and was the JV baseball coach. My seventh grade class had the most unbelievable class of athletes ever. Our football team went 9-0 and our basketball team was 13-1. The JV baseball team was 12-2. I had one kid named L'Tydrick Riley that rushed for what I am guessing better than 3,000 yards in those nine games. He scored on the first play of the game seven out of the nine games and scored on the last play of the game five out of the nine games. In basketball he is truly the next Koby Bryant. He slammed in our first game. The game we lost was the biggest learning experience for both myself and the kids. L'Tydrick showed up late for the game and I felt like it was the right thing to do by not letting him play. I got married the next summer and felt it would be best for my wife and her occupation to try and get closer to a big city. We moved to Corpus Christi and I now Coach in Banquete. I am a JV football coach, assistant basketball coach, and assistant baseball coach. |
In this section I will periodically have different questions that I have asked myself and that have come up in my coaching career. I would like to hear your feedback and what you would have done in the situation. 1. Should every kid on the team participate in every game at the Junior Varsity level? 2. What are your feeelings about giving licks as a form of punishment in an athletic program? 3. Our team free throw percentage is right around 40%, not very good. We shoot pressure free throws everyday using correct fundamentals on shooting a basketball. My questions is how can we improve our F-T% without devoting out entire practice to shooting? | ||||||||||||||||
