7:25 AM - Dropping-off my son at Lubbock High School. Fun being able to take him to school every day. It's an added benefit that he plays football for us. Stealing my time with my son is awesome - Jason Strunk
7:35 AM - I'm back at Chapman for my early morning workout. It's good for the mind. Staying healthy is an important aspect of any coaches' life. DO NOT take it for granted...stay healthy! - Jason Strunk
9:00 AM - At J&B Coffee. Needed some morning fuel. Picked-up coffee for myself and assistant principal Allyson Haveman.
9:30 AM - Every Thursday, I do classroom walk-throughs with Allyson Haveman. We saw this clown, Neal Tull, our OC, in the main hall today. So much history in these hallways It's fun visiting with the kids in their classrooms.
11:15 AM - 1:30 PM - Media luncheon. We are blessed in the Lubbock Independent School District to have weekly media luncheons at the PlainsCapital Park. Such a tremendous stadium to hold this event. It's a great time and fun atmosphere. Talking football and building relationships. - Jason Strunk
