When I picture myself after football, it's down home, coaching high school football, just a relaxing, normal life.
Oftentimes, even myself as I've come through my entire career from high school all the way up here, everything has been football, football, football. And then you realize that life is much bigger than this game, especially when you start thinking about life after football and what you want to leave behind.
I played for Middlesbrough's youth team. At the age of 16, I went into a shed at the training ground and was told that they weren't signing me on, so that was the end of that dream. Football was my life. I played football when I got to school, football every break and football as soon as I got home.
When I got fired from coaching, I started coaching high school because my son played. I realized real quick that high school football is in trouble. There's no budget. A lot of kids have got to pay to play, and every year, coaches are getting out of the profession. Kids aren't playing like they used to. It bothers me.
They're on the right road, but there's a long way to go on concussions, not only in the NFL, but college football, high school football and all football.
These kids are the future of the National Football League. They're the next generation that will be playing high school football, NCAA football, and some even to the pros.
For me, coaching in the NFL doesn't fit. I coach high-school football, so I get my fix.
Heads Up Football is a comprehensive youth and high school football membership program developed by U.S.A. Football and supported by the NFL and other leaders in sport and medicine to advance player safety.
There are a lot of guys who football is all they have. And I love football to death, it got me here, it's what I've been doing since I was nine years old, but football ends at a point in time and you've got to be prepared for life after football.
If you're in college, if you're in high school, if you're in elementary school, if you're in a youth league, if you're in the NFL, football's football.
I think before the kids, this was different - when I came home it was football, football, football all the time, every day. Now I have another balance in my life.
I think the coaching and the emphasis being put on different aspects of the game is what makes Texas high school football the best out there.
I don't think it's much different at this level. It just feels like playing high school football, college football. It's the same games, the same routes.
I'm by no means an expert at coaching high school football. I'm doing the best I can in Year 1. But I've already learned a lot of lessons and I imagine I'll keep learning them.
If you play football, you have to try to do the maximum, so I'm always doing the maximum for myself because, after my football career, I want to sit down and think I did something good.
Football has always been a big part of my life. Almost from the day I was born, playing and coaching football were all I really ever wanted to do.
I was a wrestler. I played football, lacrosse. After high school, I got into jujitsu. I boxed my whole adult life.
