Football season opens for schools in the Triangle area August 22 for public schools and August 12 for private schools, and we wonder what keeps coaches coming back year after year, despite the hard work, chills, thrills, and the roller coaster ride that is part of the coaching experience. What is the part of the job that keeps you in the game?

Each year presents a variety of new challenges that my staff and I are faced with in order to develop a productive and competitive team. It is always difficult to lose seniors who have been committed contributors to your program, but at the same time it is very exciting to see the young players grow and develop and fill the roles that have been left open. This process that we face is what is the biggest variable that year in and year out makes the game enjoyable. As we start practice in early August we look forward to blending all the various components together that make for a successful football team. Even though early season practices are long and hard I truly still highly anticipate the start of our schedule and the true excitement that Friday night football presents. The biggest satisfaction is after a tremendous amount of hard work is to be victorious, gather as a team and to feel and see a great degree of accomplishment on behalf of our squad.

The love of the game of football and the teamwork it requires for success keeps me in the game. I enjoy watching the players develop from teenagers into young men as we try to teach them life lessons as well as the game. We as coaches learn just as much from them as they do from us, many times. Friday nights, there is nothing to compare to the atmosphere and excitement of High School Friday Night Football.

For me it is all about the kids. We took a group to team camp earlier this summer. To see those players make that commitment to each other and to see how hard they worked to improve got all of us ready for football season. Their enthusiasm and effort have had a carry-over to some of the others who didn’t make it to camp, and our summer workout numbers have improved. Anytime things have seemed difficult, my wife has reminded me to think of how happy we were with those kids at camp, and that’s usual enough to get us through.

The student athletes are the reason I keep coming back to coach. Without them, I would not have a job. I enjoy building positive relationships with the players and teaching them important values that will benefit them in their daily lives and future endeavors.
