Trials of a 1st Year Head Coach with Andre Davis

I was able to catch up with one of my former players, Andre Davis, as he navigates a difficult 1st year as a new Head Coach of a local High School Football team. While we bounce through a few topics, our discussions trend towards navigating the ideals of tradition versus the reality of applying that to today's youth.
