Coach Shawn Sparks

NEW: Waxahachie is promoting from within, naming DC Lawrence Williams as its next head coach🏈 @DMNGregRiddle | @CoachJRWilliams Story: dallasnews.com/high-school-sp…

An SEC S&C coach told me they use TBJ as a KPI in football recruiting. 10 yards as a skill player is their standard.

Jump–Jump–Stick! One of my favorite plyometrics for pro athletes is the Triple Broad Jump is a teaching tool disguised as a power test that transfers directly to the 40-yard dash. It trains athletes to push the turf back, project the hips, and repeat horizontal force with rhythm and posture - just like the first 10 yards of the 40. The 40 isn’t one big push; it’s repeated projections. If you can’t link power for three jumps, it’ll show up on the clock. Train power you can repeat. 💥

They say “When one door closes, another one opens!” With that being said i’m super excited to announce my commitment to West Texas A&M! I wouldn’t be in this position without my family, friends, coaches, and all those who have supported me! I can’t wait for where this journey takes me! And lastly… GO BUFFS! @xtrapoint14 @SwarmtheState @Eric_Harper1992 @CoachHood23 @Chris_Samanieg0 @Coach__OMalley @CoachJoshLynn

After a great camp and talk with @CoachBennetNew I am blessed to receive an offer to @RoosFootball ‼️ @xtrapoint14 @SwarmtheState

My journey as the Head Football Coach at Azle High School has come to an end. How do you express 23 years of dedication to Azle Hornet Football, and 16 years as the Head Football Coach in words? I'm not sure I can, but here's my attempt. I hope I have made a positive impact on the countless students and athletes I have come into contact with because those before me had a profound impact on me. To the coaches who have helped create the vision of success alongside me, Thank you! So many countless hours working on a collective vision and being away from your own family. I pray the moments, memories, and succesess we had together will never fade. To all the players that helped carry out the vision and created reality- We have had so many memories and unforgettable moments that will stay with us for a lifetime. Thank you for helping me grow as a leader and as a person. I pray I have impacted you as much as you have impacted me. Whatever the next chapter has in store for me, we shall see? Two things I do know: 1) It's time for me to practice what I preach! We do not always have control over our circumstances, but we do have control over our response. “Control what you can control!” 2) I still feel called to be a positive influence and impact on young people's lives, and hopefully give them the tools to be successful for life. I will seek out my next opportunity to do so On to the next journey, I do not know what that is at this time but whatever path God directs me, I will attack it with the Hornet Blood that runs through me! P.S. There will be a time that we can talk about all the records and accomplishments we have achieved together. Whatever small part I played in them, I will love and cherish them forever!! #hornetpride #T.E.E Azle Hornet Football

Nick Saban said, "Complacency creates a blatant disregard for doing what is right." "Success is momentary, it's not continuous." Success hinges on doing the work, while complacency is full of indifference. • It erodes your discipline. • It affects your focus.

Every repetition is wiring your nervous system. You’re either hard coding excellence or programming decay.

"If you can run the ball, you can dictate the game." - Kyle Shanahan

Game control is a real thing... That's why every real "ball knower" was telling you not to listen to anyone during the "RBs don't matter" fad. 👉 Pass to score, run to win. No need to complicate it. --

Every player needs coaching every single snap. There will never be a perfect play but coach them to chase perfection! #ETR

“Some of the most innovative things in football I see at high school games. It's not the play you run—it's when you run it. The right timing.” - Bud Grant

Mike Tomlin said, “This is a man versus himself battle.” Great players know this truth… The ultimate competitive battle you have is always with yourself. The great ones get better every day. They WIN the day.
