In the latest newsletter, we talk Building Champions, and MASSIVE hearing for College Football Coach, Becoming a Head Coach & more, let's get into it!

Building Champions off the Field:

This week we had session 2 of our Building Champions Series Presented by FieldTurf, & in partnership with our media partner Dave Campbell's Texas Football. And not surprisingly our speaker Scotty Walden was electric. The 34 year old UTEP Head Coach presented on "Building the Miner Culture" & how it can translate to you & your team. If you've ever heard him speak, you already know it's a must watch for any football Coach. The basis of his Building Champions creed was centered around the Miner Culture Pyramid which featured:

• Program Goals

• Miners Creed

• The Brand: Fearless, Fast, Physical

• 4 Way Test: Unity is the Secret

• Code Blue: Live by the Code

• Chase the Lion

Becoming a Head Football Coach:

Speaking of Scotty Walden & ELECTRIC convos, our Head Coach Academy session last week was exactly that. The Academy featured a panel with 3 current College Head Coaches including Scotty at UTEP, Marshall's Charles Huff, & Valdosta State's Tremaine Jackson. The hour long discussion touched on a lot of topics, but focused on 4 key points:

• Transitioning to becoming a Head Coach & what you wished you knew before taking your 1st Head Coach job 

• Head Coach interview Prep 

• 1st 90 Days as a Head Coach 

• Advice to a Coach looking to get their 1st HC Job

Huge Hearing for College Football Coaches:

There's a really important hearing for College Football Coaches coming up this week that might make the number of Coaches on staffs across the country unlimited. Tomorrow the Football Bowl Subdivision Oversight Committee will vote on whether or not to cap the number of on field Coaches. A "yes" vote would be hundreds of more Analysts, QCs, & GAs would be able to officially Coach on the field this season. AFCA Executive Director Craig Bohl & the AFCA are pushing the get it passed, read the full article here:
