Coach Judd Boswell<br />

<strong>Clinton</strong> High School<br />

What is your most challenging task as a football coach?<br />

I want to make sure that each student athlete has the best chance to succeed in<br />

school, on the field and at home. The most challenging task out of the three is the<br />

last one. Some kids do not have the home structure to get three meals a day or<br />

they are the ones raising their siblings. It is for that reason that it is by far the most<br />

challenging task.<br />

What is your greatest reward as a coach?<br />

Seeing kids grow from 8th graders to seniors and watching them mature as a<br />

whole person.<br />

How do you balance coaching and family life?<br />

We preach family every day at practice with the players. The players and coaches<br />

are all extended family so we make sure we treat each other that way. I’m a big<br />

believer in not missing out on family time so I make sure my coaches do the same.<br />

We try to work and stay on schedule so we don’t have to be at work all night.<br />

What is the one character trait you would like your players to have?<br />

Being a positive leader, no matter the situation. Never getting too high or too low in<br />

any situation.<br />

What do you consider to be the most significant accomplishment of<br />

your coaching career?<br />

Our kids, each year, always carry a never quit attitude—no matter what the situation<br />

may be. That’s a great accomplishment. The best thing about it is they do it every<br />

Friday night.<br />
