Would you ever consider coaching & why?

I would absolutely love to coach, it’s been a dream off mine, I’ve seen how impactful coaches can be on someone’s life and I want to do the same for the next generation of football kids, I know coach Stefanhagen inspired me because I grew up with him and going to the same church , always hearing about him and the varsity football team and him making me want to play football and how he inspired me and how he is still around today watching me practice and play for Everest is just an honor.  I want to do the same for the next generation of kids
