Coaches

Shawn Ratliff- Head Coach

I believe coaching is about more than just wins and losses, it's about shaping young athletes into strong, confident individuals. Sports played a major role in my own development, and I coach to pay that forward. The coaches who challenged me helped me become the person I am today, and I aim to do the same for my players.

My core values as a coach are discipline, teamwork, accountability, and confidence. I want my players to walk away from each season with those values ingrained, not just for football, but for life.

I run practices and games with high energy and expect hustle and discipline at all times. Mistakes will happen, but they’re not the end, they’re a chance to learn, correct, and improve. One of my favorite things a coach ever told me was:

 “I don’t care if you make a mistake, as long as you make it at 100%.”

 That mindset is something I’ve carried with me, and it’s something I want to instill in every player I coach.
