Coachdad: July 2009
http://coachblogger25.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 31, 2009. From friend to future bestseller. I met Danny Evans of Dad Gone Mad. During my first Journalism class at Fresno State in 1991. We were two Southern California sports fans in a sea of NorCal dweebs who thought the sporting world centered around the Golden State Bridge in San Francisco. After graduation, I left Fresno to become a football coach at the high school I graduated from in Southern California. In need of employment, Danny accepted my offer of helping him land a job at m...

Coachdad: Girls will be boys?
http://coachblogger25.blogspot.com/2010/02/girls-will-be-boys.html
Tuesday, February 2, 2010. Girls will be boys? There are times as a single father that I think God is looking down at me and laughing his butt off. In so many ways, he really did play a cruel joke on me. Four girls. Four of them. Not one little boy in the whole litter. When I found out that I was going to be a father for the first time in 1997, I continually daydreamed of playing catch with "little Brett". Day after day, me and the little guy outside laughing it up while throwing around the pigskin.

Coachdad: Realizing a dream
http://coachblogger25.blogspot.com/2009/02/realizing-dream.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Remember when you were a kid and someone would ask what you wanted to be when you grew up? I do And, I lied every time. I would answer with the customary pilot, fireman, teacher, or policeman response. Sometimes, to get a laugh, I would poke fun of my small stature and say that I wanted to be horse jockey. All were bullshit responses, of course. I, unlike my classmates, knew what I wanted to be since I was a 5-year-old. What I did offer was someone who gave it his all at every...

Coachdad: October 2009
http://coachblogger25.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 31, 2009. What do you want to know? Just wondering, where have you been? Been too long since we have heard from you on your blog. Hope all is well. Can we get anything from you soon? That's right. I got an email from one of my best friends from high school asking me where I have been. I have a question for him now. Why not call me and ask? My blog is the only place where we can connect? Where I have been? Or, how about rushing out after my last class to get my girls from their school, b...

Coachdad: December 2009
http://coachblogger25.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 14, 2009. Break needed so I can work again. To be honest, Christmas and the holiday break can't come soon enough for me. I am ready for three weeks off. Now! The last few weeks of dealing with the loss of a dear friend and having my second surgery in two months for skin cancer has left me yearning for days of sitting on the couch with nothing to do but write. I need to get back into it. I am suffering some serious withdrawals. I can't help but laugh at the irony of me having to deal with...

Coachdad: Finding perspective just in time
http://coachblogger25.blogspot.com/2010/12/finding-perspective-just-in-time.html
Friday, December 24, 2010. Finding perspective just in time. It's time to start writing again. It has been too long. A lot has happened since I last posted with any regularity. Life changing events that I may or may not get into at a later date. What I will say is that I am glad to be back. It has been too long. And, they have done it their whole lives while never complaining that my career has kept them from playing youth sports, taking piano lessons, or cheer leading for their schools with their friend...

Coachdad: November 2009
http://coachblogger25.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. For the second time this year, I have lost a dear friend and coaching mentor. Coach Jim passed away Friday morning after suffering a heart attack. He was 59 and a single father of three young men that I have seen grown up over the last 13 years. Coach and I spent many nights sitting next to each other on bar stools, having a few beers while talking football. He was a wealth of knowledge and was never apprehensive of sharing what he knew with an opposing coach. Coach Jim and I w...
