Coach Armando Jacinto was told "No" 25 times before he was finally told "Yes".

In this episode with the President of the Hispanic Texas High School Coaches Association and AD of Spring ISD, we talk with Coach Jacinto about his long road to success. From being guided into the coaching profession as a player, to struggling to land a job due to his ethnicity, to being inspired by a former player of his own to set his sights even higher, Coach Jacinto knows the importance of seeing what CAN BE, rather than only what is.

We also meet the Hispanic Coaches Association, whose mission is to build and equip Hispanic coaches for positions of leadership in Texas.

Key Takeaways: - "A good coach makes players see what can be rather than what they are." - It's important for kids today to see men and women who look like them in positions of leadership.

"Deep down, our players want discipline. They want accountability."

Chris Dudley, AC at Cinco Ranch HS, builds TRUST in his program with clear and consistent communication; "Aggressively over communicating" is how he puts it. With that trust in place, he is then able to hold his athletes to clear standards that set them up to succeed on the field and off as they learn to sign their name to something worthwhile and live up to the standards they've agreed upon.

Key Takeaways:

• "To succeed in life you need some measure of organization."
• Productive doesn't equal finished. Sometimes we simply move the ball forward.
• Having players sign to a contract cuts through the haze of uncertainty.
