7 On 7

BILL HIGHTOWER

I started coaching 5 on 5 flag football in 2014 with my stepson’s team. In 2019 I started coaching 7 on 7. In 2019 I took the skilled players from the youth tackle team I coach and formed a 7 on 7 team to further develop their abilities in pass coverage and route running. Using my knowledge coaching young athletes and teaching them skills for both on and off the field brings me great joy. Good sportsmanship is critical for player development in all areas of life.

Many of my players I have coached over the last five years have demonstrated impressive growth which is exciting to see. I am there to support my team both on and off the field as the grow into young men. I look forward to each new level they progress to. Coaching is more than just having athletic skills. It is developing interpersonal skills, communication skills, and establishing the ability to work with others to accomplish a common goal. My mission is to teach my players valuable skills that they can use in all aspects of life to drive them towards success in adulthood.

I’m honored to have been nominated for the 7 on 7 coach’s hall of fame. I have had the pleasure of working with some amazing assistant coaches including Jason and Matt. Working as a coaching team demonstrates what is expected of our players as we’ve spent a number of years coaching together. Together we strive to build our players up to be the best that they can be. I look forward to continuing to coach my son as he moves through grade school.
