About Samuel L. Covington
My Coaching Philosophy
My philosophy focuses on long-term athlete development in skills, teamwork, and mindset. I emphasize fundamentals and their application in competitive situations, fostering growth both on and off the field.
Success is built on five core principles:
- Consistency – A structured, reliable approach.
- Responsibility – Accountability on and off the field.
- Passion for Learning – Growth in academics and athletics.
- Perspective – Balancing sports and education.
- Commitment – Dedication to team goals.
Interscholastic football serves as a platform to contribute to the broader objectives of education - teaching life skills, instilling discipline, and fostering character. By maintaining these principles, we aim to develop not just successful athletes, but well-rounded individuals prepared for challenges in sports, school, and most important life.
My Vision
To build a program that not only develops skilled and competitive athletes but also shapes individuals with strong character, discipline, and a commitment to excellence in sports, academics, and life.
DEVELOPMENT OF the STUDENT ATHLETE
The development of the student-athlete goes beyond just improving athletic skills; it's about fostering well-rounded individuals who excel both on the field and in the classroom. Our focus is on building character, discipline, and leadership, while encouraging a passion for learning and personal growth.
By creating an environment where academics and athletics are equally valued, we prepare athletes not only for competition but for life. We aim to develop individuals who are resilient, responsible, and ready to make a positive impact in their communities, both as athletes and as citizens.

My 90-day football plan
My 90-Day Football Coaching Plan establishes a strong base by emphasizing discipline, teamwork, and community involvement. During the first month, I will conduct a program assessment while meeting with the administration and connecting with players and parents to evaluate team culture. The upcoming phase will concentrate on establishing core values alongside offensive and defensive systems while initiating a strength and conditioning program. During the last 30 days, I will complete the team roster while organizing scrimmage matches and developing game strategies and media communications. My structured plan will ensure my team achieves victory during games and in personal development.
