I cannot tell a lie. I thought to myself, if this was my last day on earth what would I want to eat. So I stopped by #Toppot, ordered a chocolate doughnut and enjoyed every bite. The good news is I am still alive and I'm looking forward having another doughnut tomorrow. haha

Real coaching happens when you show up for a kid when it’s hard, when he's struggling, failing, doubting. That’s when your voice matters most. Even better, when you show up like this off the field. Meet your athletes where they are at. Show up. They will then show up for you

I've been coaching for 31 years. Time and time again players come back to me and recite something I said to them 20 years ago. It's crazy. They were listening. What you say echoes long after the season ends. Speak words that stick. Speak life. Be the coach they’ll thank at

Father’s Day message from the grandkids :)

My Father’s Day gift looks pretty darn good.

As I left the house this past Saturday my wife asked where I was going? “I’m gonna go coach a birthday party.” What????? When a son of one of your past players turns 7 and he is a big fan of “Coach Shap.” That’s what you do. You coach a birthday party! High knees, bear

The man, the myth, the legend. My dad. Rooted in his faith in Jesus. Grounded in his love for his family. Generous with his time and money. A sage advisor. A wise counselor. A friend to many. A great man. Love you pops. Happy Father’s Day!

Football isn’t just a game. It’s a classroom for grit, discipline, resilience, and character. Every rep, every setback, every fourth quarter moment shapes who you become off the field.

The city of Anaheim is taking this Disneyland / Star Wars thing a little too far. This is the drinking water coming out of the faucet in our hotel room. It looks more like Moon Milk or something served at the cantina in a galaxy far, far away.
