Mr. Jeff Fisher, Founder and Editor of Chief of HighSchoolFootballAmerica.com interviewed me this past week about a book project I’m currently working on called HOW WE WON: Inside The Locker Room of State Champion Coaches.

I really appreciate Jeff giving me a chance to share about this book, and the phenomenal coaches who have been a part of it thus far.  It’s been a long process and I’ve enjoyed every part of it.

Please, take a listen, my interview starts at about 7:00 minutes in.
