Tivy High School head football coach and athletic director provided an inspirational talk to our club at the last meeting.
 
 
Coach Jones is entering his eleventh season at Tivy, and has spoken to the Noon Rotary club nearly every year before the start of the football season. David always emphasizes the importance of teaching his players that others come first. This is an important virtue to learn early, since college athletes often transfer to other teams, and loyalty seems to take a back seat to individual advancement.
 
David's two sons are playing varsity for the first time this year, and will be offensive receivers. His daughter recently graduated from Abilene Christian University, and will be pursuing her masters in Speech Pathology.  
 
Coaches have always been a big influence in his life, and credits them with keeping him motivated to do well and help others in his chosen field of coaching, as he has now done for over forty years. His message to us: whatever field you are in, never underestimate your value to others.
 
Thanks Coach!
