In this powerful episode, I sit down with Josh Lovelady, head football coach at Mill Creek High School—one of Georgia’s most dominant high school football programs. Coach Lovelady shares some of his all-time favorite games and players he’s coached, including what made Caleb Downs such a special athlete and person.

We dive into his own playing days at West Georgia, where he relives hilarious memories—like the time they upset Georgia Southern—and how those moments shaped his coaching journey.

But beyond the Xs and Os, Coach Lovelady opens up about the heart of his story: his family. He shares how he met his wife, their journey raising their daughter Reese, who has Down syndrome, and how that experience has brought depth, perspective, and so much joy into his life.
