I believe that the football experience is an educational experience. As you well know, physical development is an
essential area in the growth and success of a football player, but equally important are the areas of psychological, mental,
social, emotional, and spiritual player development. Individual growth in these six areas will establish a player with a total
understanding towards the game of football. Participating in college football at the Division III level allows the student
main objective to install in the players the motivation and desire needed to achieve excellence in all six areas.
As a coach, I take on various roles, but most importantly that of a teacher. I teach my players a healthy approach to
developing physiologically through my understanding of good nutrition and strength training. Psychologically, I feel it is
important to expose any player to a gentlemanly mature attitude toward winning. I expect my players to learn from their
losses and stand tall in times of defeat.
Furthermore, I teach my players to be mentally prepared for every football game as well as their academic major. This
demands of them an understanding of positions and game plans, knowing how to budget time effectively, and also
maintaining a high level of concentration. I also encourage my players to be emotionally prepared for each game. I feel
that my role as a motivator is extremely important. During both game and practices, I ask my players only to
work at the best of their abilities and, in return, I assist in creating a healthy balance between that of hard work and
enjoyment, which is also essential to a group’s success.
Socially, I expect my players to interact and establish good relationships with individuals within the campus environment
as well as within the community. I teach and encourage my players to attain a positive attitude in their own abilities, to
gain respect and trust towards other team members, and have pride in representing their school. They are taught to act as
gentlemen at all times.
In pursuit to develop all these attributes, I feel playing football can only enhance the players spiritually and assist in
aiding them to live a more mature and educated life after graduating from college. My coaching will be a success if my
players can reflect on their football experience with positive and rewarding memories.
