Coach Spotlight

Interview with Coach Colter

Recently, I interviewed our 2015-2016 Offensive-line football coach, Scott Colter. Here's what he had to say:

Q: What is your favorite thing about being a coach?
A: I love the feeling on Friday nights, with the lights on, the fans screaming, the boys' attitudes... The whole Friday night atmosphere is why I love it so much.

Q: What are some things you would change, if you had the power to?
A: Actually, nothing. We are progressing in a way that we need to right now. It just takes time; we are on the right track.

Q: What are you most looking forward to this year?
A: How our guys will progress and how far they'll get, in terms of their ability to play well. I'm excited to see how we develop and to see if we can get farther in the playoffs this year.

Q: In your opinion, who on the team has the most impact?
A: Definitely C.J. Afoa. When he is playing well, has a good attitude, and is in the right state of mind, he most definitely can change how our team is playing. I see him at lunch, and he can always sit with anyone in the school. He is a really good guy.

Q: When did you realize you wanted to be a coach?
A: As a kid, I was always the one on the team helping out the other players. Even as a small child, I would help teach a friend of mine with any kind of sport.

Q: What is different about this year compared to the last?
A: Our team has matured a whole lot. The experiences we've had when we were younger have really helped us improve.
