Coaching
Upon entering the football lounge are in the Armstrong Stadium, the first thing I noticed was the “Do the Right Thing” Banner flying high. I then knew that the football staff here at Hampton University is not just about shaping good athletes, but successful citizens. As the strength and conditioning, special teams, and offensive line coach, Terry Beauford has an immense amount of responsibility. Coach Beauford, on average, works approximately 13-hours/ day, Monday through Thursday. Depending on whether their weekend games are home or away, he may travel for two to three days, and then go home and watch game films. However, Coach Beauford does not believe in releasing unwarranted distress on his players. Coach Beauford went on to explain how he conducts practice. He does not believe in yelling unless they do not live up to their potential. He explained, “If the players do not execute; then I yell.” I have observed his interaction with the players on and off the playing field, and I can honestly say that it is his relationship with the players outside of football practice that has gained him the most respect. (That and once playing in the NFL for three years) He is always there to listen, and help where he can. However
Coach Tiny Laster has been a coach for many years. Though he has never actually played the sport of ladies basketball, volleyball, or softball, he has coached them all. he always maintains the coach-player relationship. When asked about treating the “best” player on the team differently than the other team members, she replied with an answer unfamiliar to my ears. Coach Gibbon’s does not believe in a “best” player at all. Instead she has faith in the players who work the hardest. Those are the ones she has the most confidence in, and will play more than others.
