The San Francisco 49ers are celebrating Mt. Eden head coach Paul Perenon this week as their Coach of the Week. Last week, Mt. Eden routed Irvington 41-3 to improve to 4-3.
Below is a snippet on Coach Perenon from a story on 49ers PREP:
Coach Perenon grew up in Oakland where he graduated from St. Mary’s High School in Berkeley and played football. With positive coaches in his life, he developed his love for the game of football. Although he did not play in college, he realized he wanted to stay connected to the game and felt coaching would be a great way to do it.
After several years of working at his alma mater, Coach Perenon got an opportunity to work at Bishop O’Dowd and then Mt. Eden. Mt. Eden has very little football tradition, so Coach Perenon is changing the culture by preparing his players for what will come in life. “We want to teach our student-athletes how to make the right decisions, overcome hurdles and fight adversity. The most important thing is making sure the kids are pointed in the right direction,” said Coach Perenon.
49ers PREP
As the 49ers PREP Charlie Wedemeyer Memorial Coach of the Week presented by U.S. Bank, Coach Perenon will receive a $1,000 grant for the Mt. Eden High School football program from the 49ers Foundation. As part of this award, he will also receive two tickets to a 49ers home game where he will be recognized on the field.
