Klein Cain High School head football coach James Clancy is being honored this week by the Houston Texans HS Coach of the Week.
Below, you can read quotes from Coach Clancy on why he coaches that appears on HoustonTexans.com:
Why I coach: “I coach to make a difference in the lives of young people I get to be around on a daily basis. I was greatly impacted by coaches throughout my life and still am to this day. I value the relationships with all people involved in our profession, especially my players. I truly believe that it is a calling. We always tell our players that our program is not just a four-year relationship, it is a 40-year relationship.”
Most rewarding/fulfilling part of the job: “The most fulfilling part of my job is seeing our players grow into young men over four years and go out and make a positive impact on our society, and come back and visit!”
Most misunderstood thing about the coaching profession: “The most misunderstood thing about the coaching profession is how much goes into making a game day happen, let alone how hard it is to win at a high level of football. Also, the impact the commitment to being good takes on a coach’s family, many people make sacrifices for the game to happen.”
Important school initiatives: “We are a Wounded Warrior Project Ambassador school, and Gridiron Heroes supporter. These initiatives allow members of our program to see how football can give back to those who have sacrificed so much.”
