EPHS HEAD COACH

Dear Raider Fan, I am very excited to start this 2021 football season and being the head coach at East Paulding is a responsibility I do not take lightly. I will work tirelessly to earn the trust of the players, parents and community. We build our football program on three core fundamentals: • Academics will be a priority. Expectations in the classroom will be high and good behavior is nonnegotiable. We will celebrate academic achievement, support academic struggles and punish academic failures. • Socially and emotionally, I want our student-athletes to be servant leaders. I believe our society is becoming more and more selfish and I want our players to be the difference; understanding the value of serving others and putting others in front of themselves is the beginning of doing just that. Molding great behavior and manners is paramount. My ideal player is an animal on the field and a gentleman off the field! • Athletically, I believe in fundamental football. Football is a simple game. The guys who blocks and tackles the best are typically victorious. I also expect our boys to play with high level of football IQ. Studying the game, mastery of the playbook and being in the best physical shape will all be expectations of our young men. This season we have a new motto, “Flip the Switch.” We are striving as a team and a family to be leaders on the field and in the classroom. We want our team to be compassionate, hardworking and have amazing character off the field in everything that they do. On the field, we want to flip the switch! Aggressive, strong, and focused on the win. A gentleman off the field and an animal on the field! We are ONE RAIDER. We are East! I look forward to another great season of Raider football and I thank you again for allowing me the honor to be your coach and GO RAIDERS! Respectfully Yours,
