I have been married to my 8th grade sweetheart for 20 years now! We have two children, Kenley (18), and Kason (15). My coach is a Strength and Conditioning teacher and the head football coach at his high school alma mater (Fun fact: our school is the only one in the world with a Kewpie mascot!). This season and last season have been super exciting, because our son is finally being coached by his dad after growing up in the coaching family lifestyle since birth!
What is your favorite part of this lifestyle?
- Watching him do what he loves every Friday night! In addition, the amazing tribe we have with other coaching families in the area, and the impact that we have on all the young lives in the community!
What is your LEAST favorite part of this lifestyle?
- Definitely the amount of time my coach has to be away from our family. During the season he definitely spends more time with his players than his own family.
What is one item you can't live without that makes this life easier?
- Stadium chair, hands down! My back would hate me without it!
What is your go to concession stand order or must have snack?
- Nachos and cheese are one of my all time favorite things!
- Fall in general - the past several years I’ve been going like crazy to HS football games, MS football games, and softball games. I have put a lot of miles on my car in the fall season over the years!
What is one thing you would go back and tell your younger self?
- This lifestyle is going to be hard at times, especially while your kids are young. It gets easier as time goes by and the kids get older. Your coach and family were made for this; you got this! It is worth it!
