PHILOSOPHY: PART 5

The 5th part of my philosophy is to execute with exactness, confidence, and passion.

If there's one thing that I believe will make an immediate difference in our competitiveness, this may be it. This is the indicator we can use to see if everything else is working. The unspoken theme behind this point is effort. It takes hard work to learn how to play football correctly.

It's not enough to just be at practice. It's not enough to play in the games. It's not enough to participate in the season. You have to make a difference. You have to be the kind of athlete that inspires others. You can do that no matter your physical talent or mental ability. Everyone respects hard work and passion.

I can always find a place for an athlete that wants to win really, really bad because that athlete will do what it takes. We have some great examples of this on our team right now.

I'm committed to helping our athletes learn how to enjoy playing the game so they will look forward to every practice and give great effort on every play of every game during every season.
