Day 1

I cannot believe we finally arrived in Colorado. This is the most difficult part of my life I will ever experience. Thankfully, my three boys Josh, Jake, and Jaiden are all doing well with the move from inner city Chicago.

I cannot believe we finally arrived in Colorado. This is the most difficult part of my life I will ever experience. Thankfully, my three boys Josh, Jake, and Jaiden are all doing well with the move from inner city Chicago. The neighbors in North Colorado Springs have helped immensely along with the school administrators and teachers. Josh just turned 5, Jake is 3 and Jaiden 1. Josh starts kindergarten tomorrow in District 38 at a Charter School – tough to enroll especially if you do not know the environment or have a family history. We are completely unknown with a relatively new house purchased from the bank under a foreclosure sale. Everything on the house was completed including landscaping. This is a story about life of a coach, football coach and sport coach.

I received a call from an assistant coach in Denver who removed himself from the Denver Cherry Preparatory High School coaching squad due to an incident with a girls track team. He is an excellent and renown coach in many high school sports. A female track star accused him of discrimination and playing favorites after she was removed from a relay team. This is a story of a life as a coach, football coach and sports coach.

Day 3

Wow! The superintendent said that the Denver Post already reported that we were hiring Coach Stevens. I will need to get to the bottom of this issue. Coach Stevens may have thought it was an easy extra point in procuring this job. Coach Stevens has not gone through the background check nor an interview yet. There is my phone ringing 

Day 3

Wow! The superintendent said that the Denver Post already reported that we were hiring Coach Stevens. I will need to get to the bottom of this issue. Coach Stevens may have thought it was an easy extra point in procuring this job. Coach Stevens has not gone through the background check nor an interview yet. There is my phone ringing and it is the Denver Post asking me when Coach Stevens starts? I asked the reporter where he obtained the information; and he replied that was from Coach Hal Stevens himself (Whoa!).

Colorado Coach Diary Day 2

I received a call from an assistant coach in Denver who removed  himself from the Denver Cherry Creek High School coaching squad due to  an incident with a girls track team.

Wow! The superintendent said that the Denver Post already reported that we were hiring Coach Stevens.

Colorado Coach Diary Day 4

The team meeting with the parents is tonight. Everyone is anxious. Despite our team winning the Illinois state championship last year, there was no media surrounding practices or team meetings. We were unknown and just played football at Manion High School in inner city Chicago.

Colorado Coach Diary Day 5

I awoke today amidst a sea of rain. These Colorado storms can be brutal; and near tornado weather occurred prompting the school district to delay classes two hours. I will get Josh to school and Jake to preschool. 

Colorado Coach Diary Day 6

We won the game Saturday night v a great Denver team and program. The game was fast and furious. I felt we had the better prepared players; but the ability of the opposition was perhaps a step above our team. We employed on defense a 3-5 set-up (3 down linemen and 5 linebackers). 

Colorado Coach Diary Day 7

The coaches meeting went well despite the nanny showing up a half hour late. I am at a crossroads with having to obtain a nanny for every step out of the house. Nannies have schedules also. 

Colorado Coach Diary Day 8

I awoke on Sunday morning after staying up late with the kids playing games last evening. They had tremendous fun and slept well.

Colorado Coach Diary Day 9

School has been very busy with my English, phonics, and literature classes. I have full classes and have been asked to add more students and classes – though my schedule is stuffed this semester.

Colorado Coach Diary Day 10

Life can be tumultuous teaching in high school modernly due to social media, parental, and administrative pressure. Working as a high school teacher, you become a mini-celebrity. As a coach, you become the icon if you win; and the toilet if you lose.

Colorado Coach Diary Day 11

Today was a crazy day for myself. I am struggling to keep my diary continuing – always thinking of Janae wanting me to record our family for our future kids, grandkids, and other family members. 

Colorado Coach Diary Day 12

What a day! Practice was great because our team hit the blocking sleds with motivation and spirit. These guys want to win football games. I can handle a loss if our team gives 110%. 

Colorado Coach Diary Day 13

Love is the very last thought on my mind. I am struggling with my job, the kids, coaching, and impediments emotionally and physically. I have started to jog (a millennial sport). 

Colorado Coach Diary Day 14

I awoke the next morning early and arrived at a thought of playing with nine men on the line offensively for the upcoming game. Denver. I have received calls from Missy Bradford (the Denver Post reporter) asking questions about the team strength with the upcoming duel in Denver under the lights. 

Colorado Coach Diary Day 15

We prepared well with second string lineman and won the football game on a fumbled 2-point extra point attempt after the favored Denver school drove 80 yards in the last 3 minutes to get within a point of our school, Colorado Sports Academy.

Colorado Coach Diary Day 16

On the very first life coach encounter I was quite pleased. Sandy Swift said I had a few issues to resolve. Grief is still highly present and can linger and destroy one’s life. 

Colorado Coach Diary Day 17

The kids all came down with red cheeks today; and all had runny nose, slight cough, low grade fever, and congestion. I obtained a pediatric appointment early and was not late for my English class. The pediatrician (Alison Maples DO) was compassionate, knowledgeable, and cute.
