I'm here to talk about two of my coaches: Sammy Walton and Matthew Owens.
Both these guys have a major impact on how my game has developed, both on and off the field. For starters, it may be helpful to know that AC Hackett ( @Deusolis ) and I have known these two coaches long before they signed in to coach the Sabercats.
So now I'll talk about their coaching styles and how they differ.
Sammy Walton: Speaking of talking about things, Coach Sammy Walton LOVES to talk. The man will go on and on for hours, about, well, sometimes it's hard to figure out what he is talking about. But man, does he know his football? He sure does, although sometimes he applies large quantities of basketball knowledge to his lessons. Also, it's hard to walk into practice without seeing Coach Walton's St. John's sweatshirt and backwards Yankees hat. He didn't even go to St Johns, making the sweatshirt choice somewhat questionable.
Matthew Owens: On to the man who gave us the work ethic we have today, Coach Matthew Owens. This man had us running laps when we were first training under him, and his methods drive us to success. Although he's truly a nice person, you don't want to make him mad. I remember one day, this younger recruit, A. Kash, was sick of being told what to do, and kicked a water bottle on the sideline. Little did he know, it was Coach Owens water-bottle. A. Kash never came back to practice.
