20 years later I still have this night carved into my head like it happen yesterday . I have grown from a kid to a man learning to handle and understand the things that took place . I have pushed past the pain and I use it as purpose . This is a big part of whats my WHY !
#PVAMU
Fun Fact: Every Kid that signed a scholarship to play football 🏈 next season should be taking part in the track and field program at your school. Don’t fall off doing nothing or just lifting weights it’s a set back . Sharpen the iron and stay competitive!
As a young coach I use to get upset when kids skip practice . A a mature man I get disappointed cause the kids have the potential to be great but only give minimum effort.
I was just watching the recap of the Cedar Hill win and everything was talked about but the sportsmanship that
@CHLonghorns
displayed after the winning catch . They took a moment to check on the Rockwall player that was hurt! Nice gesture young men. Much Respect ✊🏾
This is the week every coach and athlete has trained hard for . The regional week is the make or break week. It’s all or nothing ! TEXAS TRACK & FIELD !
Although my wife and I signed at different times due to Coaching School and Cheer Camp we made it happen together. Today at 2pm with Gods Blessing we closed on our House. “EDMONSON HOUSE”
During a kids 4 years in high school They spend more time with a coach then they do their own family . They need role models and men they can trust . They wanna win competition but more than that they want people to mentor them and guide them . I’ve learned a lot .
God has been so good to me and I can’t thank him enough. I worked so very hard while competing for
@PVAMUPanthersTF
and
@pvamu_football
. My parents , family , coaches and teammates can’t thank you enough. I am now
@PVAMUPanthers
History forever! 💜💛
Never saw a Head Football coach beg a kid to play football . He played with the ones that came out and wanted to be there. I don’t beg kids to run track but I do tell them thank you for running and I appreciate you. Then I do battle with the ones that wanted to be here.
I got great news from my Head coach that I was named the 2A Assistant Coach of the year today . I’m greatly appreciative and blessed . So many great coaches in Texas and this means a lot . Thank you
@Tabchoops
Got to meet a great guy and coach last night .
@CoachNickWill
it was a pleasure my guy. Look forward to watching the success of
@AggieFootball
knowing good people like you are on the staff.
I had a parent tell me “ Coach I don’t know what you did or said to my kids but he is so much better in your program. He is passing all his classes , he doesn’t get in trouble and he loves what y’all are doing . I said thank you . I demand accountability, respect and growth.
Some coaches wake up everyday and work their tail off and will never see the State Championship in Football, Basketball, Track , Football , baseball , Softball or soccer . The mission never changes . Produce great humans to push out into this ugly world!
21 years ago I went through one of the most horrific times in my life As a 20 year old kid in college doing what I love running track for
@PVAMUPanthersTF
a life changing wreck hit us hard. This is why I have so much passion cause I almost lost it all. A broken neck changes you

Year after year I give my guys the run down of the stick exchange. Now I gotta say everybody teaches it different but this works for us . If you don’t teach it they won’t know ‘

Ahmaud Arbery would have turned 26 today, but he was murdered while jogging in February. In honor of his life, many are protesting by running 2.23 miles, marking the date of his death. Happy birthday Ahmaud, and may justice be served.

In 2000 I had a wreck traveling to a track meet with
@PVAMUPanthersTF
. I broke my neck and didn’t think I would ever recover. Long story short God had a different plan. This is me drive and my passion . I’m officially Sworn in PVAMU SPORTS HALL OF FAME!
If you have a athlete that has problems with the side step in the blocks and not driving the knee up try this . I call it being in the box . I close him in and force the correct running form and eliminate the side step. It has worked very well for him!
Everything I wanted for my team we now have !
Travel Gear - ✅
Multiple uniforms -✅
Enter the big meets - ✅
Training gear - ✅
Track meet day gear -✅
Logo branded tents-✅
Meet day coaches gear-✅.
Coaches that prepare our team-✅

Next year I’m going down to the Jr. High to coach track. If I’m gonna build it I want it done like it will done on the Jv and varsity . A building is built form the foundation!
Thanks to my lovely wife for holding me down today when I got weak . It took a lot outta me just to hold it together. I appreciate you Franchesca Edmonson . You may never know or understand why February will forever make me emotional.
This is exactly why I love the coaching world I have been hit up by coaches asking about my well-being and then complementing me on the great job I’ve done with my track team then some have even mention a opening or pushed me in the right direction to another job ! Love u Boyz!
I met with the meet director for the
@PVAMUPanthersTF
relays today and he wants me to help get teams to PVU for the track meet . I will reaching out to all local teams to try and make this meet a total success. Go To Pvamu Relays .
Well surgery went well today and now I can heal and be ready for Track Season ! Ya boy ain’t no spring chicken anymore lol. Torn Peroneal Tendon surgery today will have me down 4-6 weeks !
22 years later this still breaks my heart to look at or think about . Pain hits different through the years . Im stronger and thankful for life in general . I love my brothers that passed away! Never take life for granted at all. It only takes a second !
@PVAMUPanthersTF
They say if you don’t tell them they won’t know : Im looking to be a Wr Coach/ CB coach and a Head Track Coach . I’m full of energy and knowledge . I’ve passed my PPR and my core test will be next . I have a back groups in Health and PE , and a intern in Sped .
All coaches are Recruiting Coordinators ,it’s not about a title. We all do our part to make sure these kids get a opportunity. It’s part of or coaching obligation.
I learned a valuable lesson this year . Everybody not for you and everybody don’t want to see you be successful. People applaud you in public and tear you down in private. Rise above the small things and stay focused on the bigger things in life. What God has 4 you is 4 U!
@KingCrawford_
getting it done increasing the Speed acceleration and creating the force in speed resistance! When he dials in and uses the speed he has on the field is scary!

This is right before the 2A/5A 300m hurdles!!! State Track meet is one of the best sporting events in the State of Texas! Best athletes in the state of Texas all in one place!!!
#texastrack
I’m happy my guys & gals know I supported them no matter what . Leaving Rockdale all these kids know I was there for them 100% . It didn’t matter what sport They played , rich or poor Black, Brown or white I’m here for all kids . It was no question. That’s keeping it real!
I don’t understand the logic behind the lane assignment at state but you have your 2A fastest teams in lane 1,2 3 , 4 and states best in 7 . Make it make sense . Call me crazy but shouldn’t we be in the middle of the track ? 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
I would like to thank everyone for the prayers for my eye surgery: I unfortunately had 3 cyst removed from my lower left eyelid that my Dr didn’t know were in my eyelid. Happy this is coming to a end . I have 6weeks to totally heal but I can make it !

Yesterday as you celebrated the kids that advanced to regionals , did you also congratulate the ones that gave a great effort but came up short . Wins are great but effort and competing build Character.
Ready for the next phase of life . Aspiring Head track Coach / Wr coach / Db Coach in the next phase of this life . Preparation is everything . Be ready to answer when your called .
It’s a blessing when you can play a part in the success of a kid and they get to go fulfill their dream to play college ball. I never once gave up on any of them . Tough Love is better than giving up on them !
