Coaching Update

Mail Time!!

So, I found my top 4 schools I want to apply to and I am sending my coaching packages off this week.  I have had them read and critiqued and I got a good reaction from them so now lets just hope I can land an interview and sell myself as the best option to turn these schools into a State Title Contender!!

School is going good.  I have been doing a good job staying on top of my assignments and I even have been finishing a majority of them early which is good so I can spend the weekend playing X Box 360!!!.

I also have started working out! 3 weeks in and I am staying strong and working hard!  I start every workout with 30 mins of cardio and then I lift.  Just trying to stay motivated and dedicated!

My next goal is to find exactly what school I will do my Transition 2 Teaching at and also taking and passing Praxis Exams!!!

Well I will try to do a better job of keeping up with my blog!  One of my friends threatened me with bodily harm if I didn't haha!!

Coaching Update

First off let me say, what a great national championship game!  I had no ties to any team and I didn't care who won it was just good to see a great game played by two great teams!  Congrats to Auburn for pulling it out!!

OK so coaching update!

I finished my first coaching package and my coaching resume.  I finished my defensive playbook, but I am still working on my offensive playbook.  Let me just say this takes a lot of work!  I have put in a lot of hours in putting these things together, I am just hoping that it all pays off for me.  I have been helped a great deal by my mentor and a man who is like a father to me Kevin Wright, his advice is always helpful and I love how he keeps it 100 with me no matter what, because sometimes you need to hear the truth regardless of how it will make you feel.

On another note school starts this week, so go ahead and shoot me now!  I don't think it will be that bad, I have 6 classes and one of them doesn't start until March so that gives me a little breathing room until then.

My next step is to send my coaching packages off to perspective schools and let's hope I have enough experience and charisma to land an interview to let them know how great I am and how great I can make their high school program!!

Until next time...

My Coaching Journey

At the advice of a friend of mine, I decided to chronicle my journey to become a head coach!

For those who do not know me, my dream is to one day be a very very successful head coach of a major high school.  I would really love the opportunity one day to move to Texas or Florida and become a coaching legend there.  I also want to become a high school counselor.  The reason I want to do this is because I see a lot of kids who need someone to show they actually care about them and they need positive black male role models in their life.  I want to to show my players that sports is a great outlet and a great way to stay in trouble, but that it is not the only way to improve your current situation.

I finally feel like I am ready to become a head coach so I have started my search.  There are a few smaller schools I plan on applying to so I am hoping for the best.

The first part of the process for me is finishing school.  I am taking 18 credit hours this semester and 6 credit hours during the summer so I can start my teaching classes in the fall.  I know this will be tough especially working full time but whatever it takes for me to achieve this dream I am willing to do!  When I start my teaching classes a school will be able to hire as a contracted teacher.

Over the next coming weeks I will continue to update you on how things are panning out and also on what I am doing to achieve my goals.
