Our athletes have the capacity to become tough, gritty
individuals. As coaches, we have the capacity to help them get
there. We want to teach our athletes to be mentally tough, to do
the right thing in everything that they do, and to succeed at
challenges they think are beyond them.
During this interview, Athletic Director and Head Football Coach
Zac Harrell of Athens ISD discusses the importance of putting our
athletes in tough situations so we can help them become mentally
tough. Coach Harrell also stresses that we should never ask our
athletes to do something that we haven't done because the example
we set for our athletes is that important.
Key Takeaways:
-Never ask athletes to do something you haven't already done.
-Sacrifice for the team.
-Teach athletes to be mentally tough.
