There is a brotherhood amongst football coaches: a camaraderie and mutual respect within the football community regardless of level. Football coaches share a unique bond spanning passion for the game, the pressures of competition, and their common challenges. We understand the unique demands and rewards of coaching football. Each of us soaks up the concepts, schemes, and traditions of a game played competitively for more than a century and a half. Most are equally passionate about sharing concepts applied, lessons learned, and the collective wisdom of a tribe willing to fight tooth and nail on Friday night or Saturday afternoon, only to teach, encourage, and motivate one another on nearly every other day of the year. This brotherhood plays a vital role in fostering professional development and collaboration.
I will travel to Atlantic City, NJ this week to attend the Glazier Clinic. No, I am not presenting at the clinic this year. I am traveling down to interact with long-time coaching friends, make new friendships, exchange ideas, discuss tactics, and build connections through networking within the football community. While presenting in forums like the Glazier Clinics is a privilege, I’m equally excited to participate amongst the audience, comparing notes across all three phases of the game and listening to some of the very best cultivators of student-athlete talent and potential.
Clinic season offers a rebirth and a new start where every team is undefeated and each has the potential to become a champion.
