@DeionSanders
took a chance on me as an intern at his summer camp. He gave me a front row seat to see what coaching is supposed to look like and really gave me the game. He taught me your dream has to be bigger than you. Now here I am.

Helped start a varsity program from scratch in 2017, won a State Championship as an OC in 2019, & won a State Championship as a Head Coach in 2021.
2022 starts the beginning of the next phase of the journey as

10 years ago I quit a job making more money than I ever have. Moved to Dallas and took an internship with
@DeionSanders
and loved out of a hotel. Now I’m doing what I wanted and was called to do. Everybody’s journey is different but you gotta “Trust the Process”

We had a great run today at the
@SMUFB
7v7 tournament. Came up short in the Elite 8 Vs Denton Guyer on the last drive of the game. Proud of our guys and the progress they have made this off-season.
@LSOCFootball
We have been taking this pre game walk since his 9u year and I cherish it every time we take it because you never know when that walk will be the last walk.

Today I had the opportunity to sit down with the legendary
@SOCFootball1
(Coach Todd) for about an hour. Had a great conversation about opportunity, coaching this game, and more. “Knowledge is power”
To say I’m proud of this middle school group would be an understatement. Undefeated on the season, 445 points scored, and haven’t given up a touchdown since the preseason scrimmage.

We had a great day at
@MeanGreenFB
7v7 team camp today. S/O to
@TrustMyEyesO
and the entire staff for putting on a great event. For a 3a school getting the opportunity to compete against bigger divisions was great. Also had a kid leave with an offer after the camp.

The foundation has been laid with a historical middle school season out of the C/O 2028 & 2029. The best is still yet to come.

Today our program took a step in the right direction. Competed in a D1 SQT at Melissa. Finished the day 1-2, saw some good things, and saw some things that we need to get better at.

@LSOCFootball
Every kid isn’t “him” or “that dude”. Every kid isn’t a dog right now and that’s ok. The great thing about football is that it’s the ultimate team sport and there’s a role for just about any kid that’s willing to play their part.
Life High School Oak Cliff recently named Welton Johnson as its next head football coach. During his time at Life School, Johnson made an immediate impact,. Read more >>

This time next week this group of middle school kids will be college Station bound to represent
@LSOCFootball
in the tournament of champions. If you haven’t seen them in action it will be a movie.
#StayTuned
With things being shut down, being stuck at the house, and no football right now. This couldn’t have come at a better time. I don’t care what division you are playing, if you are fortune enough to win a Texas High School Football State Championship it’s special

The future is bright for

. This weekend our 6th/7th graders played in their first select 7v7 tournament. They went 4-1 on the day, losing in the semifinals.
Making it to

@texashsfootball
championship magazine a year ago. Definitely a great accomplishment as a coach to make it into that edition of the magazine. “I’ll be back”
@BrandidSports
Love the progress we have made this off-season. Our program took steps in the right direction as we get ready to roll into summer workouts in a couple weeks.
@LSOCFootball
2022 I went to the 3A State game & Franklin beat Brock. 2023 I went to the 3A State game & Malakoff beat Franklin. There were things I saw at both that made me say this is what is needed for us to be able to compete with programs like that and win on that stage.
