Archer Football Mission Statement Academics We will provide the proper support for each player to become a successful student and help them graduate high school with excellent grades and test scores that will allow them to go to college to earn a degree. Athletics We will help each player reach their full athletic potential through strength training, speed & agility, and conditioning. We will prepare our players fundamentally to have the opportunity to win a championship. Character We will create a culture for all players to be successful. We will set a standard of excellence in everything we do. Our player s involvement in the program will help them learn how to be a champion on and off the field. We will prepare our players to understand the importance of being selfless and always doing the right thing. Future Our program will impact our players in a positive way and teach them the value of hard work, dedication, and discipline. Every player will leave Archer fully prepared for the opportunities that lie ahead.
#MAKEEMBELIEVE As we enter the 2023 football season it is important that we all make a commitment to continue to the standard for the Archer Football Program. There is a big difference between being INTERESTED and being COMMITTED. I am excited about the culture we have established here at Archer with the returning football team that is young and hungry to pursue a State Championship in 2023. We are scheduled to be apart of the prime-time televised Corky Kell Classic in the schedule of games to start the season. Playing the schedule, we play draws attention to our players and creates great exposure to college coaches. I am committed to building a nationally recognized program here at Archer, and to reach that goal it will take an incredible amount of work and dedication from everyone. Now it s time to set the standard and bring a Championship to Archer High School. I am excited for the 2023 football season and the future of our football program. It s a great day to be a Tiger!
Building a championship program My core belief in building a winning program is to establish a team that is willing to compete harder than any of its opponents. I believe that we can accomplish this by improving the program in every phase. The process is where we define our team and determine who is committed to building a championship outcome. The process is my vision, belief, and philosophy in building a championship program.

CHANGING THE CULTURE OF THE PROGRAM Building the program correctly will create a culture of importance and will create an atmosphere that attracts players within the Archer High School District. Building a successful football program will impact and influence the entire school, coaches, players, faculty, student body, and community that support Archer High School.
Players Everyone in the program has a Role, Responsibility, and Opportunity to directly impact the success of the team. I believe the process of winning is directly correlated to the character of the team. As a coach I will work to shrink the gap between the top and bottom level performers. The goal is for every player to be fully invested in the process. Role their job or position ; ownership Responsibility to the school, family, program, and community. Opportunity a chance every day to make an impact.

Booster Club A booster club is a vital part of any program. The title booster club defines its roll for our program. It is to boost our program or help us with the needs that our budget cannot provide. I believe it is important for the Head Football Coach to be an active member and always involved in the booster club.
