So blessed to be the Offensive Coordinator for the US Army All-American Bowl. It is fun winning and bringing home the trophy, but the most fun was getting to coach these awesome young men and share my love of Jesus. I look forward to watching these guys play on Saturdays and eventually Sundays! @US_ArmyBowl_GS@USArmyBowl
These documentaries scour America for the worst coaches and then glorify them. For the record, that Netflix show is NOT what coaching is.
Coach Richt is the example of what the coaching profession is. Listen to what he says to his kicker before he attempts a game winning FG.
List of things football gave me that had nothing to do with scoring tds

The 1st graph tracks the actual 40 times of an actual HS athletes. (All 40 times are fully automatic.) The 2nd graph is what kids think their 40 time graph should look like.

What’s it like teaching at a private school?
Well today I asked the students to share good news of something in their life. One students yells out. “Christ died for our sins” and the whole class breaks into applause and cheering.
So yeah it’s pretty awesome!
Thank you @princeton_track this season has been a ton of fun! Watching you work hard and get better, seeing school records set/broken in the 60m Hurdles, 60m Dash, Long Jump, and Pole Vault.
It has been a full year. I’m truly blown away!!!
In poker, the person with the best hand only wins 12% of the time. That means that 88% of the time, the person who plays the cards the best wins. Don’t complain about your cards, oversell your hand.
The first picture was taken the day I asked my wife to marry me (March 19, 2007). About 12 years later, we are back in @gohawaii, standing on the same balcony.
We were kids back then with just a love for the Lord and a love for each other, and that’s all we needed.
I am excited for Coach Smith and his new role as Plano ISD Athletic Director. Having Coach Smith is going to be HUGE for Plano. Check out this article in Dallas Morning News @SportsDayHSdallasnews.com/news/2013/08/…
In the moments of triumph and in the moments of failure, God is using sports to work and build character in the lives of these kids.
Picture of the 4x400 team moments before winning the State Championship.
At a coaching clinic, a coach talked about how he hung strings from the weight room ceiling from different heights. He said kids would spend hours jumping trying to touch the different strings. I used this method to teach my kids how to jump. I cut them just out of their reach.
Being an athlete means risking failure in front of a lot people. And the better you get the more people are in the stands for you to potentially fail in front of. Tom Brady has both won the most and lost the most Super Bowls. Don’t let fear stop you from competing.
Not one, but two district championships. This has been a rewarding year, not because of the wins but because of the process. Honored to coach at Princeton High School.
HORNET NATION, please welcome our new Head Football Coach, Darrick Ware. Coach Ware and his beautiful family are ready to call Harrisburg their home.
There will be a parent/athlete meeting on Monday, May 23rd at 6:00 pm in the Fine Arts Center at HHS.
Players who are really good are not good because of what they did today. They are good now because of what they did 5 month ago. Who you are in 6 month depends on what you are doing now.
