With the right influence, communication and skill development is the key to a valuable coach. Without my two outstanding high school coaches, I wouldn’t have the love for basketball and track the way I do today. They have taught me everything I needed to know for the present, along with tips for the future. Coach Lewis and Coach Kohler have done more for me than what I’ve ever deserved and I will never be able to pay them back for all their help and encouragement. But I hope they have understanding of how much of a change they can make on someone's life, someone's life like my

When I think of coaching I think of practice planning, game planning, scouting strategizing of offense and defense, choosing my starters, little things like that. All of those ideas are valid, but that’s not the whole picture. There is a lot more to coaching than planning for a practice or a game. Many times a person who would like to coach an interschool athletic team has little or no preparation to teach sports skills and techniques. The only qualifications is often the person’s participation on his or her high school, college, or university’s team, coach of a community youth team or even perhaps as a professional player. While all that experience is valuable in one way or another, it does not constitute an adequate preparation for

For a lot of kids, it’s not until it’s all said and done, and they look back on it several years later, that they realize the difference the sport made in their lives. They are proud of playing the game. Have you ever met anybody who accomplished playing four years of high school football, and at the end of that run said, ‘Man, I wish I wouldn’t have played’? It doesn’t get said. Football players aren’t perfect. Nobody is. But millions of former players, one by one, can recount the life-altering principles they learned from football. They know the value of football is the values in football.That’s why high school football – and particularly high school coaches – play such a vital role in our society. Our football coaches are on the front lines of the battle for the hearts and minds of the boys in our society.

So many Coaches have talent and dedication for what they do. I 'm proud to play for one that has a spectacular history of coaching. That coach is Dennis Lorio, who Graduated from LSU (Louisiana State University) with an economic degree and played baseball. “I love the intensity and the relationship in football” Coach Lorio explaining with a passionate expression. I can see it in his eyes that he is very dedicated and hardworking coach. As of now he is 62 years old and still willing to coach. “It’s not the same without coaching. The joy and the sorrow I feel during the season has been addicted to me. I’ve been in this game almost all my life and that is a very long time.”

As a student, I was part of the Teaching Academy at Independence High School and

These are the steps of being that credible coach I would like to achieve by helping youngs adults develop physically, psychologically, and socially. Through the years of playing multiple sports I have been witness

I have compiled an extensive resume of leadership experience including one term as Student Government President, an appointment by Pennsylvania Governor, Tom Wolf, to the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education Board of Governors, along with holding a seat on a Non-Profit board of directors. While sustaining leadership positions on campus, I was able to play NCAA Division II Golf, maintain honors status, and complete 4 internships. I believe that my leadership responsibilities and team experiences have truly given me the character to embody the NFL Values of responsibility, respect, integrity, and resiliency. I will be an asset to the NFL Junior Rotational Program by respecting and understanding the Mission statement of the NFL as

I am not a native Texan and I have been an educator in Texas for over 12 years. I have coached at schools from 3A to 6A and from Houston to the DFW area. I have seen and heard some great things that we coaches as well as schools do but at the same time I have seen and heard some horrible things. Unfortunately we are losing great coaches to administration positions and to the private sector due to the long hours and insufficient pay. We as coaches have a great privilege of educating and coaching these young student athletes to help them prosper in their present life as well as in their future. We have the opportunity to see our athletes every day in our athletic periods but some do not take advantage of it.

I started my coaching career after I graduated college. My first job was at The University of North Carolina Charlotte where the team made the NCAA Division One Tournament two of the four years I was the assistant coach. At 29 years old I was the youngest Division One Head Coach at the time Philadelphia Textile hired me. Textile was one of the smallest (1000 undergraduates) Division One schools at the time of my hire. With no conference affiliation, a limited budget of less than 20,000 dollars and a part-time salary we were able to produce results against much larger opponents such as Rutgers University, Penn State and Seton Hall; all nationally ranked programs at the time. My connections helped me sign players from all over the world (South Africa, Jamaica and

As a child I grew up playing football, and I’ve always had a passion for the game. After playing my final down, I knew that my days with the sport were not over. Football is a sport that molds boys into men. My dream is to become a football coach. My coaches had a very strong impact on my life and helped me evolve into the person I am today. By becoming a football coach I will have the ability to make an impact on my player’s life like my coaches did with mine. My biggest inspiration in becoming a football coach is Lou Holtz. Coach Holtz showed me that just because I am finished playing doesn’t mean that I can’t have a passion for the game. The way he carried himself and the passion he emitted helped me decide that this was something I

The coach is visionary and lives life by adhering to core values. He should have very real strength of character and commitment to personal integrity and honesty.
