Develop a Philosophy and
Believe in it.
Transformational Leadership
I believe that a successful football program is based on commitment to
organization, preparation, teaching, leading and winning. Good planning of a
football program requires administrators, teachers, coaches and student athletes
to work together zealously, comfortably, cooperatively and effectively. A football
program should have a structured plan in developing each individual. This plan
should prepare the individual for his life as much as possible. The plan should
help an individual academically, athletically and mentally.
As head coach of a program, I feel that the plan can be met by leading with self-
discipline, responsibility and teamwork. Also, the program will allow leaders to
come forward and showcase their abilities which will undoubtedly help them in
the future long after high school.
Finally, being a great head coach requires one to be a great teacher and
motivator. Coaching is nothing more than teaching. They are synonymous. In
teaching there are objectives, strategies, skills and evaluation. It is the same for
coaching. The ingredient that separates excellent teachers and coaches from the
average is motivation combined with enthusiasm. Those are intangibles that not
all are blessed with. I feel that I have infinite energy for both.
Briar Woods Football Program
Mission Statement
• In order to have respect you need to have respectability first. That comes from being dependable and true to your word. It comes
from being fair. Be positive as much as possible. When being critical, critique the football action, not the person. Keep player
comments about a player to that individual or coach only and not to other players. Always seek out that player you were critical of
and settle issues before leaving field.
• Be a leader, not their buddy. It is ok to motivate and be enthusiastic on their level but make sure they know where the line of coach
and player.
• Have class. It starts with your actions. They speak louder than your words. Be a good communicator.
• Be aware of confiding in parents about program and personnel issues. This includes and up to social networking.
• Keep the head coach apprised of what is going on with your position players throughout the season. If needed, keep records of any
progress, problems, attendance, and any parent conferences. Any final decisions on personnel such as dismissals and cuts are through
the head coach and athletic director.
• Be fundamentally sound. Know your material (fundamentals), be organized, teach in a sequence, be through, and work on your most
important fundamentals everyday (1st things first).
• We will use a two back offense either under center or gun. We will use motions to gain advantages in the rush and the pass. We will
utilize TEs in both run and pass. We will also use the unbalanced line and single wing concepts in short yardage, goal line, and as a
changeup.
• We will use an attacking 3-4 defense that will employ pressures and blitzes. We will keep the opponents offense off balance with
weekly adjustments.
• Special Teams will be an integral part of our team and will be practiced daily,
• Assist the head coach in administrative duties such as scouting, inventory, supervision, fundraisers.
• The objective of the freshmen and junior varsity is to be prepared for varsity.
I have read and understand the rules and regulations of the Briar Woods Football Program.

Falcon Football Parent Roles
• Be supportive to your son and the program.
• Be a fan of everyone on the team.
• Respect the decisions of the coaches and referees.
• Talk to your son if you have any questions and if you have questions, contact the
head coach of each team first. The progression that follows next is: I) Head Coach
of Program, II) Athletic Director, III) Principal
• Don’t “poison” the water towards a coach, the program, or teammates by your
conversation.
• Don’t talk to coaches’ families about problems in the stadium during the game.
• Do not talk or coach your son during games or practices. This is distracting to
players and coaches. We, coaches, do not come to your workplace and tell your
workers what to do. This will not be tolerated.
• Do not talk to coaches on game day, before or after games, about complaints. Go
through the proper channels.
• Parents are not allowed on the practice field unless invited by the staff.
• Understand that the coaches’ responsibility is to make certain that your son is
safe, become a better athlete, and even a better person.
• Have Fun!!

Teamwork
"Teamwork is the ability to work together
toward a common vision. The ability to direct
individual accomplishments toward
organizational objectives. It is the fuel that
allows common people to attain uncommon
results."
A Team is more than a collection of people. It
is a process of give and take.
