Her influence in competitive excellence has guided the Trojans to over twenty NCAA Division II tournament appearances as well as twenty-six CIAA Championships Titles, twenty CIAA Divisional Titles, and forty-four Coach of the Year honors.    During her tenure, the Trojans have won the C.H. Williams All-Sports Award (men) on eleven occasions and the Loretta Taylor All-Sports Award (women) on six occasions. The awards are given to the top male and female athletic programs within the conference, based on championship finishes.    The Trojans have not only experienced significant success on the competitive surface, but have also established all-time benchmarks academically under Davis' guidance. The Trojans posted its highest Graduation Rate and Academic Success Rate in school history since the inception of the measure. VSU Athletics was recognized by the NCAA and honored as part of the Presidents' Award for Academic Excellence. In 2020 the Athletic Department was recognized by the NCAA as the recipient of the NCAA Division II Award of Excellence.    Davis is a three-time, Hall of Fame honoree (at Virginia State University, Howard Payne University and Bastrop High School). Alongside her Hall of Fame honors, Davis was awarded the 2021 MOAA Distinguished Service Award.

She has overseen numerous athletic facility improvements on the campus, beginning in 2004 and continuing today. The largest facility improvement to date is the $84 million Multipurpose Center which opened in February 2016.

My guest on today's episode is Debbie Jones.  Debbie is the lead trainer and owner of Confident Director, a company that provides coaching, consulting, training, networking, and online courses.  She enjoys guiding directors and teachers to reach their unique potential in their professional roles.  She has over 20 years of experience in early childhood education working with faith-based and secular programs. Debbie received her Bachelor of Arts from Howard Payne University and she holds a Texas director certificate.  In this episode, Debbie discusses the concept of risky play and its importance in childhood development. Risky play refers to allowing children to engage in activities that involve some level of risk, such as climbing, exploring, and problem-solving. She emphasizes the need to trust children and their abilities, allowing them to make decisions and learn from their experiences. She also highlights the benefits of risky play, including increased self-confidence, problem-solving skills, and awareness of their surroundings. Debbie suggests that educators should create a "yes environment" that promotes risky play and encourages children to take appropriate risks. She also advises teachers to observe and notice children's interests and abilities, and to provide opportunities for them to engage in risky play in a safe and supervised manner. Overall, Debbie emphasizes the importance of trusting children and allowing them to take risks to foster their development and build their confidence and problem-solving skills. Are there a couple of traditional rules in your classroom that you're willing to step away from for a few days?  I want to encourage you to remember that young children rarely take risks beyond what they are capable of if we trust them!  The next time a child takes a risk that makes you gasp….stop yourself to adjust for a split second before yelling STOPPPP or “BE CAREFUL” and take a breath.  Be ready to support them but don't stop them. See what happens. My guess is that you'll be celebrating their success at doing something that required bravery and courage!   You can access Debbie's website HERE. As always, we would love to connect with you on Instagram HERE and on Facebook HERE.

"...I found the words, I was stuttering, I was stumbling, I was sweating...we prayed right there in my office and broke down into tears...and all of this stuff made sense..."

From the humble beginnings of small town Godley, Texas, Austin Upchurch has been hungry to chase down a dream he didn't think was possible until he taught himself how to play guitar in his dorm room in college. After finishing school at Howard Payne University, he proceeded to chase after his own pursuit of happiness. With his initial release of a back-sided single titled All Wrong, Upchurch was able to get his dream out for people to sample for the first time. He released his music on Spotify, Amazon Music, and Itunes in 2017. In 2018 Austin realized he needed some help and started auditioning potential band members. After a mutual friend introduced Upchurch to bassist Will "Willy H" Carrier, there was an immediate creative connection. Consequently, Will brought on his life long friend Matt Pickard to play drums. After which, Austin brought on his good buddy Reed Barton to play lead guitar, and thus the band was formed. In January 2019, Upchurch and company started playing their first of many live shows while also releasing two more back-sided singles titled "Remember When" and "A Hundred Thoughts". After a successful first year, Upchurch and company started 2020 with the release of their single "Pearson Road", as well as two subsequent singles, "Aurora" & "Rain Coming Down," from their debut album "Breakdown" which was released on July 10, 2020.VIA~ austinupchurchmusic.comInstagram~ @austinupchurchmusic

Coach Braxton Harris is the Head Football Coach at Howard Payne University. @coach_bharris

This week on Inside the Headset we are featuring First Baptist Academy Head Coach Jason Lovvorn. Coach Lovvorn shares his view on creating player buy-in, offers insight on serving as the Head of School, and highlights the significance of developing relationships through the AFCA 35 Under 35 program. Jason Lovvorn joined the FBA staff in 2008 after graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Baylor University. He was named the Head Football Coach at FBA in 2009, Athletic Director in 2010, and Dean of Students in 2011. In 2013, Coach Lovvorn and the FBA Saints won the TAPPS Division III State Championship, capping a perfect season. Following that season, in 2014, Lovvorn was named Head of School. Coach Lovvorn was also named a member of the 2018 AFCA 35 Under 35 Coaches Leadership Institute, which featured a curriculum of interactive lectures focused on topics specifically tailored to emphasize leadership in the coaching profession, ethics, influential responsibilities, career progression, and family balance. Additionally, Coach Lovvorn served as a speaker and field coach during the Skills and Drills sessions at the 2020 AFCA convention. Lovvorn played college football for three years at Baylor University and one year at Howard Payne University. An FBA alumnus, Coach Lovvorn has a passion to help FBA students strive for excellence academically, athletically, and most importantly, spiritually. Lovvorn also received a Masters of Education (M.Ed) degree from Dallas Baptist University in 2010.

Chan Priest grew up in the small town of San Saba, Texas, where his father was the Head Football Coach of the Armadillos. We talk in depth about the history of "The Graveyard" (the football field in San Saba) and Coach Priest tells a great story about the time his father and older brother (who were strong influences on his life), were involved in an altercation (which emanated from Mason, TX.) between the two and a couple of chain crew cowboys in the land of the Punchers, which from the sound of it, likely would have been a main event at the old Dallas Sportatorium. Coach Priest played football at Howard Payne University in Brownwood, Texas, and headed out to New Mexico to begin a career as a game warden. He ended up following in his father's footsteps instead, and coaching a year in New Mexico, before returning to Texas and going to work at Early High School. From Early, Coach Priest headed to De Leon, and went to work for Coach Jack Waggoner, where the Bearcats won the 1975 state championship in football. By 1980, Coach Priest was ready to fly out on his own, as he accepted the position of Head Football Coach of the Goldthwaite Eagles. Coach Priest, and his staff (which included our previous guest, Coach Gary Proffitt), would take a football program out of the slumping seventies, ending a decade long playoff drought, to kick off the electric eighties! After the Eagles won the 1985 UIL Football State Championship (and a great story about Coach Gordon Wood's halftime locker room visit on that night), Coach Proffitt goes on to discuss the time he followed legendary Coach Randy Allen, to become the HFC of the Ballinger Bearcats. After 5 years at Ballinger, Coach Priest had won 98 football games (as a head football coach) in his first ten years, and he was riding high into Gatesville, Texas, as the newly hired leader of the Hornet football program. Coach Priest won 16 games in 6 years at Gatesville and his story of of the time he spent in Gatesville is every bit as interesting, honest, and fun to listen to, as the great triumphs of his life and career. Coach Priest is pictured above, to the right of Coach Gary Proffitt, following the 2009 UIL State Championship won by the Goldthwaite Eagles. Coach Priest's description of the picture is as follows "Gary's 4th and my 5th. I started adding Gary's to mine after I retired. When you get over 60 you can do that." --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/erik-thormaehlen/support

This week on Inside the Headset, we are featuring Campbell University Defensive Coordinator, Weston Glaser. Coach Glaser discusses transitioning from offense to defense, shares his unique experience working with NASCAR, and promotes the importance of learning new perspectives. Weston Glaser was named Campbell's defensive coordinator following the 2018 season. Glaser started his coaching career at his alma mater, Sam Houston State where he played quarterback from 2008-09. With Glaser on staff from 2010-13, the Bearkats posted a 31-10 overall record with two Southland Conference championships and back-to-back FCS National Championship game appearances. The Waco, Texas native also made a stop at UTEP from 2013-15. During his time in El Paso, Glaser worked with the Miners’ linebackers and defensive backs. Glaser also spent time at the NFL level, working for the Cleveland Browns scouting department from 2014-15. At the same time, Glaser also worked as an assistant pit crew coach for Hendrick Motorsports of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and Nationwide Series. He worked predominantly with the pit crews for Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Prior to joining the Campbell staff, Glaser spent the 2018 Spring as defensive coordinator at Howard Payne University after serving as a defensive quality control coach at Texas A&M, where he worked with the defensive backs.

In our latest episode, we are bringing you an archived favorite from the Mackey Speaks Leadership Journal. Mackey is bringing us a message he heard from Coach Braxton of Howard Payne University while out on the West Texas Tour a few months ago. Coach said something that made Mackey grab his pencil and start writing. Coach said that whether you excel or whether you fall short and don't reach your goals, other people are going to identify you as a part of a team, and we will represent a team in our actions. Key Takeaways from this podcast: You are a part of a greater team, so rep the brand well. In moments of anger, stop and count the eyes. Protecting your brand is not only a defensive posture, but it is an offensive posture as well. Mackey encourages us to handle our anger, handle situations that may not be going our way well because there are people watching. We must continually remind ourselves to count the eyes. People will not only evaluate you, but they will begin to evaluate the brand that you represent, whether that is your team, your company, your faith, or your family. If you are not okay with what you're doing being in the light, then don't let it live in the dark because what's in the dark will eventually come to the light.

Josh and I talk about the importance of adapting your leadership style, what made the 2002 Oklahoma Final Four team great, and tips for communicating with the younger generation. Bio: Josh Prock is beginning his fourth season with the Greyhounds, and led them to 10 wins a year ago after the program lost every game it played just a year before his arrival. Prior to Eastern New Mexico, Josh spend five seasons at Howard Payne University, where his teams went 108-31. He had a few other stops along the way as well, most notably at the University of Oklahoma where the two of us first met. Josh was on the staff when the Sooners went to the Final Four in 2002. Josh is not only a great basketball coach, but also a man of character and faith. He has been around outstanding leaders in his career, and is clearly a great leader in his own right. Interview: Josh why don't you give a few minutes of your personal story so people can get some context before we dive in here. Grew up a preacher's kid Church every Sunday and Wednesday night Lived all over the southwest, from Arizona to Oklahoma Became a Christian as a young man Wanted to become a coach Worked his way up from student manager at University of Oklahoma and the rest is history Married 12 years; 7 year old twins and a 3 year old Went to high school 20 minutes from his current school (follow up) The importance of family on coaches My recollection is you have a strong bond with your parents, and in particular you dad. Talk about how that relationship and he has impacted you throughout your career. Always looked up to dad Great role model and who he wanted to become Dad “The world is not about us, but what you can do to give back to others.” Ex. Early high school – dad was preaching each Sunday 7pm that night, dad took the kids back up to the church to clean; it was a large church and would take until midnight to do Dad wanted to teach the kids a lesson about how to give back and to serve Both parents also taught him to fight his own battles, because mom and dad won't always be there H.S. basketball coach didn't play him much and he went to dad (booster club president) to see if he could talk to some people and increase his playing time. Dad turned his head and said “what did you just ask me?” Said that's a battle you need to fight on your own. Mom is one of the most mentally tough people he's ever known. What would you say is the trait or characteristic that you took from Coach Sampson that is part of your team and your program today? Toughness – mental and physical You can have the Xs and Os, but the toughest teams win He has tried to apply that to his teams; though of course there are some differences when coaching women vs. men At Eastern New Mexico, it's a lot like Oklahoma where you aren't the top program in the conference historically, so convincing your team you can overachieve and compete with those schools does boil done to toughness. You worked with some great Oklahoma teams over the years. What made the 2002 team special? Feel like there are 70,000 people watching you One obvious trait: chemistry and togetherness; great leadership too – Hollis Price, Aaron McGhee, Quannas White Not one NBA player on the team Toughness again Oklahoma beat the eventual national champion Maryland by 20 earlier that year Coaching staff bonded After beating Texas, the entire staff was hanging out enjoying the victory, and it was incredibly late when he remembered he had a paper for his masters due the next day! Coach Sampson's dad health issues during the Sweet 16/Elite 8 round in San Jose You have coached high school, small college, major university, men's and women's. What have you learned adapting to the various people you are leading? You HAVE to adapt Understand the difference between emotions of men and women You can do anything as long as you are grounded in who you are Coaching style has changed over the years because of the kids on his team What would you want the women in the audience to hear about how to succeed and earn respect in a male-dominated environment? The women that are going on to be successful see themselves at the same level as men The more successful teams he has had, more of the women have had that mindset Be confident in who you are and in what you're doing. Women are just as capable as men. The mentally tough people are who will make it in this world. What have you found to be the best techniques to communicate with today's young adults? Be very clear about expectations and very specific You can't speak in round-about terms (“hopefully we can do this, etc.”) Nick Saban is a good example of communicating with young people to get them to focus, especially on one thing at a time. Bill Belichick Every year he has a coaches meeting Go over expectations with what the specific goals are You have had the opportunity to observe other coaches and administrators with their teams every single day; what sticks out to you as something that the great leaders do or have in common? (Both coach and admin) Some of the greatest leaders he has been around are confident (not cocky/arrogant) They have a plan – know exactly what they want to do Example – one of his players had a plan to run her own nursing home. At 30 she already owns her own. Example – Joe Castiglione; always has a plan Great leaders also know there is a process and they understand what it will take to get the job done. Coaching involves more working with young people every day, while the other administrators are mostly working with various adult constituencies. Who are your mentors or people you look up to today and why are they your mentors? Mentors play such a key role Dad Father-in-law Coach Sampson Dan Hays – now-retired and long-time Oklahoma Christian basketball coach Doug Shumpert – Anadarko (OK) High School coach Tim Skaggs – pastor (Josh is now a deacon in his church) (Daniel follow up encouragement) – Don't feel pressure to do everything by yourself. Get some people around you! You are one of the few people I know who is regularly reaching out to his network. How did you get into that, what are the reasons/benefits, and how do you recommend we do it? Dad always followed up with people; hand-written thank you notes, etc. Buzz Williams, Virginia Tech head coach told him a long time ago that “you never know whose path you might cross that might be able to help you one day.” Simple emails of “hey how are you” mean a lot to people (Daniel follow up on practicals for this) Every time he meets someone, send a follow up email or note Everyone he comes across from business or colleague will be added to his email list (Daniel talks about how Joe Castiglione always bringing up that Josh is in touch with him regularly – so it stands out!) Joe responds to his email every time; nobody is too small or little for him. What habits have been key to your success? (e.g. morning routine? Eating? Quiet Time?) Working toward balance by putting faith first through spending time in the word Also running every day; that time clears his head and helps him focus for the day How do you approach balancing success at work and success at home? Bob Stoops set a great example Silo your time; when you leave work and it's family time, prioritize that. When it's husband/wife time, make it happen. Set it up ahead of time Kids are going to know who their dad is; wife is going to know who her husband it (Daniel follow up on exactly what Coach Stoops does) Wednesday night is family night Eat together and no work talk Has led to stability in the coaching staff over the years (Daniel recalls Ryan Hansen on no-device rule in the house) Where can people go to learn more about you, the team or anything else you have going on? www.enmu.edu www.goeasternathletics.com Facebook page Josh's Facebook Twitter page Thank Yous/Acknowledgements: Antioch Live/Clear Day Media Group – music More here.
