The Week 6 winner of the Minnesota Vikings High School Coach of the Week award is Mark Heiser of Minneapolis Patrick Henry High School.

Below is a snippet from the Vikings website about Coach Heiser:

Mark Heiser is in his 11th season as the Head Football Coach at Henry High School in Minneapolis. Under Coach Heiser the Patriots have had 7 winning seasons, played in 2, 4A section championship games (2015, 2016) and won the Lakes sub-district championship in 2019. Coach Heiser has been a Social Studies teacher at Henry High School for the past 10 years. Before coaching at Henry, Heiser was the Head Football and Head Girls Basketball Coach at St. Paul Academy and an assistant football and basketball coach at Holy Family Catholic High School.

Coach Heiser’s coaching purpose is to develop players into people of integrity who will love, serve, and lead others with confidence, and purpose. Heiser said, “I enjoy seeing players improve over the season and show self confidence. The biggest reward as a coach is to see a young man who is succeeding in life and know that our football family has been a part of that success.”

Minnesota Vikings

After each week of games during the high school football season, the Vikings honor a high school coach of the week. Coaches are chosen based on their contribution on the football field, but more importantly, on the impact they make within their community and for their student-athletes. In addition to being recognized in local media for the achievement, the school’s football program receives a $1,000 donation on behalf of the Minnesota Vikings.
