Coaches get head jobs because they're good w/ players as an assistant, but working with ADULTS usually makes or breaks you. Most are unprepared.
Make sure you are ready to work with:
- Asst. coaches
- Parents
- Administration
- Other sport coaches

Here is a self-evaluation form that you can complete as a Head Coach. Being self-aware and reflective are key components to success. Maybe this can help someone today.

Impatience can ruin a career. Don't chase the 'congratulations' you get now on social media. Chase being great, not getting attention. If you are chasing greatness, your time will come. It just may not be as soon as you want.

Take an inventory of your formations occasionally.
- Why do you run them?
- What problems do they present the defense?
- What plays do you like?
- What area of field?
Here is an example from my Empty formations book, but any formation could use this format.

Planning practice is so much harder than people realize that have never coached. Here is the template I used each week to build the practice scripts - maybe it can help someone out today.

At lunch today, I decided I wanted to do a podcast series on Situational Football. Talk to a coach about 1 situation each. So far, I have over 50 of the best coaches I know agreeing to talk to me over the next few weeks. Not a bad day's work. Should be fun. Stay tuned...

“A system should never reduce the game to the point where it simply blames the players for failure because they did not physically overwhelm the opponent. You need to have a plan even for the worst scenario. It doesn’t mean that it will always be successful, but you will always…

Work hard and get the job done, but there are no extra points for “most hours worked”. Get home and spend time with your families too.

Prayers to Fannin County Football and the entire Fannin County community. Nothing prepares you for these times, but they have a great leader in Chad M Cheatham. I'm here to support however I can, Coach. 🙏
