My name is Kaley. I live in Little Rock, Arkansas. I’m married to a high school football coach, Tyler, aka “Coach Up”. We’ve been at Joe T Robinson for 12 years - go Senators! We have a daughter, Blakely, age 11. In 2014, one of my husband’s players, Tonda, moved in with us and completed our family! He’s since graduated and coaches alongside Tyler. It’s all come full circle. I love seeing them on the sidelines together.
I work full time for a medical manufacturer. I love my job, but it doesn’t allow much creativity. That’s where my Instagram comes in. I love styling outfits and accessories! My daughter plays soccer and basketball. Between her sports and Tyler’s job, we’re always at a field or on a court somewhere!
What is your favorite part of this lifestyle?-
I have met so many wonderful people. Players, families, other coaches and their wives. It’s a family and I love that.
What is your LEAST favorite part of this lifestyle?
- Mouthy fans. Ugh! If they only knew how much coaches sacrifice.
What is one item you can't live without that makes this life easier?
- Hired cleaning service!
What is your go to concession stand order or must have snack?
- On cold game days, I love hot chocolate! Otherwise a cheeseburger and Diet Coke.
What is the craziest thing you have survived due to this lifestyle?
- Our daughter was born in late July. Having a newborn right before fall camp starts is not for the faint of heart!
What is one thing you would go back and tell your younger self?
-
I would tell myself not to compare everything I do at home and with our daughter to what he does. It’s an ugly game and no one wins.
