Coach Jay Madden grew up with in a love of competition.  As he went from a high school football player at Pomona High School in Arvada, Colorado to a college football player at Mesa College, he was around many important mentors he drew from that helped him in developing a philosophy that has taken him to the highest levels of high school coaching in Colorado.  To him, however, coaching always comes back to a belief in kids and an interest in changing their lives for the better.
