    • EP#22-How A Reluctant Assistant Turned Palm Springs Football Into A Powerhouse
      Jan 24 2026

      Send us a text

      A head coach who never planned to be one. That’s the heart of our conversation with Palm Springs’ Darryl Gore—an assistant who almost walked away when his mentor retired, then stepped up because his players asked him to. What follows is a story about tradition, buy-in, and the quiet work that turns a program into a family.

      We trace Coach Gore’s journey from Pop Warner fields in 1992 to balancing football, basketball, and even baseball—all while learning under legends like Coach Fabian and Coach Murph. He shares how sprinting between JV and varsity made him a better teacher, why alumni coaches strengthen the culture, and what actually changes when the assistant everyone loves becomes the head coach who has to make the hard calls. The real shift? Handling parents, managing the unseen logistics, and building a staff that can carry the standard without losing the human touch.

      Gore breaks down the 8–0 start with specifics: a tougher summer, more strength work, and a relentless focus on unity to erase divides between linemen and skill, offense and defense. He explains how a senior-heavy roster matured, how plug-and-play on the line is built on fundamentals, and why the run game clicked. His philosophy is clear and refreshing—don’t treat every player the same. Listen first, coach the kid in front of you, and earn trust before demanding more. We also talk mentors in Texas high school football, what translates, and what doesn’t, and we end with actionable advice for young coaches: learn the unglamorous parts, hire for character, and let tradition do its work.

      If this story of culture, development, and leadership resonates, tap follow, share it with a coach or parent who needs it, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find the show. Your support keeps these conversations going.

    • EP#21-From El Paso To Palm Desert: Building A High School Football Program That Lasts-The Rudy Forti Story
      Jan 16 2026

      Football isn’t just a season for Rudy Forty—it’s a family lineage, a craft learned on long bus rides in El Paso and refined across college fields and high school sidelines. We sit down with the Palm Desert head coach to unpack how a second-generation coach builds a durable program in a valley where the heat is brutal, the rivalries are real, and the community shows up every Friday.

      Rudy walks through the moments that shaped him: lessons from revered mentors at North Texas, the switch from defense to offense, and the blueprint that defines Palm Desert—load the best 11 on defense and engineer an offense that fits the remaining pieces. He breaks down his run-first, quick-game philosophy, why the offensive line anchors everything, and how coaching his son at center simplified calls and elevated the unit’s confidence. We contrast tight-knit valley football with the juggernauts west of the pass, exploring what changes when you face one-school powerhouses with deep rosters and deeper pipelines.

      The conversation gets candid about the leap from coordinator to head coach. Rudy lays out the hidden work few see: grades, discipline, staffing around off-campus schedules, fundraising, and keeping the clock and the culture on time. We talk defensive identity under a trusted coordinator, the integrity of transfer rules in the valley, and why tradition still matters—from triple-overtime thrillers to alumni-packed field dedications. For coaches climbing the ladder, Rudy’s advice is blunt and valuable: earn your credentials, learn every position, take the jobs others skip, and build trust that holds under pressure.

      If you care about high school football culture, leadership, and the real mechanics of building a program, this conversation delivers practical insight and a grounded perspective. Subscribe, share with a coach or parent who needs it, and leave a review telling us your biggest takeaway from Coach Forty’s playbook.

    • EP#20-How A Coach Turned Loss, Grit, And Innovation Into A Winning Program-The David Palmer Story
      Jan 9 2026

      Send us a text

      A tough childhood in the Inland Empire, a life-altering loss, and a sideline that started with youth flag—Coach David Palmer’s path wasn’t linear, but it forged a leader who builds teams that learn fast and hit faster. We sit down with the Shadow Hills head coach to unpack how he combined humility, aggression, and adaptability to turn a defense-first program into a balanced, high-scoring threat.

      Palmer walks us through the early years in eight-man football and wrestling, the detour from Navy enlistment to entrepreneurship, and the moment he stepped up to keep a youth team together after tragedy. That sense of stewardship carried forward as he climbed from freshman defense to JV, then varsity, soaking up college-level concepts from mentors like Will Martin. He explains why he embraced a spread, pass-first identity—complete with choice routes and a QB who can extend plays—and how a veteran O-line coach unlocked timing, protection rules, and explosive production that broke school records.

      On the other side of the ball, Palmer breaks down when and why he shifts from a 3-4 to a 3-5 or 3-3-5, how five-over coverage protects the roof, and why blitzes must arrive from unpredictable depths and angles. He talks candidly about culture: cutting out locker-room negativity, holding firm on grades and attitude, and reaching each player differently to keep buy-in high. For young coaches, his blueprint is blunt and useful—be a sponge, evolve with the game, and chase knowledge over titles.

      If you’re a coach, parent, or player who cares about building a modern high school program—one that marries scheme with standards—you’ll find real takeaways here. Subscribe, share with a fellow football nut, and leave a review to tell us the biggest change you’d make to your team tomorrow.
