Program Philosophy

  • It is our job as coaches to structure the most efficient and productive football program in the area. We display extreme pride in coaching and mentoring our players and we display extreme pride in Sentinel High School. In our program each player will be treated as a human being first, student second and athlete third. We will work under these three main concepts. We call it the "BIG THREE".
    1. (Person First) Build championships through building champions
      • Our staff will commit to winning as a team on the field by creating winners in life! The most important aspect of our program is the teaching of life skills and mentoring the development of character.
      • We will teach a sound quality scheme, teach sound fundamental football techniques and we will teach sound "life skills".
      • We will help each player reach their highest potential as a human being.
      • We will focus on teaching our players how to grow into great men, men who will be productive citizens in society, men who will learn how to love and cherish all the blessings in their life and give back to their community.
    2. (Student Second) Create a positive learning environment for our student athletes both academically and athletically.
      • Our staff will maintain a consistent high standard of teaching at all times. Ultimately, our success will depend on how capable we are as quality teachers. We will teach and positively reinforce the fundamental skills that enable our players to be their best academically.
      • Our staff will take tremendous pride in preparing our team in a positive way with the highest level of integrity to create opportunities for our players to excel in the classroom.
      • Our program will offer mandatory year-round study hall and academic tutoring.
    3. (Athlete Third) "Success is a Journey, not a destination!"
      • Winning is very important, but it is not the only outcome of a competition. Participation in sport provides a process that is equally important to winning.
      • Experiences athletically and academically that our players go through while participating in our football program will be lessons that will travel with each of them for the rest of their lives.
      • We will offer year-round athletic training opportunities to improve individual skill acquisition and motor development. We have a very sport-specific training regimen designed to maximize each player's potential athletically.
