My Project

As a football coach, I want to eliminate as many barriers as I can so my student-athletes can be successful in the classroom and on the field. These are hard working young men and young women who have goals and dreams of playing at the next level.

They want to use football to open the door to an affordable college education.

In order to make that dream a reality, they need both excellent performance and academic achievements.

An iPad will allow us as coaches to be able to show them live game film on the sidelines to help maximize their game-day performance. In school it will be used in team study hall sessions and 1-on-1 tutoring with coaches to help student-athletes complete school work and better understand the topics being covered in their classes.
