I graduated from Bear Lake High School in 2013. Coaching football was never on my radar; I started out because it was something to do after college graduation. I’ve been coaching ever since because I love both the game itself and the opportunity to teach it to other people. My players are expected to be, above all else, Lakers – loyal, accountable, knowledgeable, excellent, resilient, and selfless. We will win, and we will win with honor. We make sure our opponents know who they played, but we make sure they know by our heart and character. Also key to my approach is the simple fact that the game of football cannot be played by yourself – it is impossible, based on the rules, to score by yourself. You can never win unless you have teammates. I think that’s one of the most important lessons football players can learn. My parents instilled a lot of strong core values in me that inspire the lessons I try to teach my players and that continue to shape who I am as a person.
