Culture Defeats Strategy with Coach Randy Jackson

Sports Dad Hub Podcast Episode 21 with Texas high school football coaching legend, Randy Jackson. Coach Jackson is a 30-year coaching veteran. He's won multiple coaching awards, including the Texas 4A Coach of the Year Award in 2010 when he and his staff orchestrated one of the biggest turnarounds in Texas high school football history.

He was hired as the football coach at Mesquite Poteet following a 1-19 season. Coach Jackson and his staff took that team to 12-3 the following season.

Key To The Turnaround

After such a tremendous turnaround, many people asked coach what the key was. Did he install a new and innovative offensive system? Did he create groundbreaking new defensive schemes? Did he recruit a completely different roster of stud players?

Nope. It wasn't any of those things.

The key was one word... CULTURE.

Culture Defeats Strategy

Coach Jackson came in and completely rebuilt the culture of their football program. He helped players feel "10 foot tall and bulletproof." He helped them believe in themselves and in each other. He helped them visualize their success before it happened.
