As you might have heard, one of the more interesting and dynamic coaches in college football, Mike Leach, died of a heart attack this week. He was 61 years old.
Coach Leach was a colorful character, always great in his press interviews and known as a brilliant offensive mind when it came to football.
More importantly, however, he was meticulous in his preparation…and that’s where things get interesting.
Not only was he preparing his players for next Saturday, he was preparing them for life, which is what great coaches do.
I’m linking to an article from one of his former players, Cody Campbell, as to how Coach Leach impacted his life. It’s a must read and you can find it here…
By the way, Cody Campbell played offensive line at Texas Tech for Coach Mike Leach and then for the Indianapolis Colts before co-founding Double Eagle Energy Holdings in Fort Worth, Texas. He is also a member of the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s board of directors. You can find out more about Cody here…
