FB: Northwest Conference

[RFB]

Anyone who claims cross-country as their sport has never wore a helmet and shoulder pads. Pay no attention to the idiot writer of that article who couldn't make his high school freshmen football team. Ugh, idiot.

[shane falco]

DenSLA,

Yes, I would love to come down to cali and watch highschool fb. 
I love h.s. football, absolutely love it.

Long Beach Poly and De La Salle would be the first on my list to go see.

Coach Belotti was once quoted, "There's more D1 football talent in one block in L.A. than in all of Oregon."

Please overlook my lack of research if Gray Fox's General Football link has been on this board before...

RFB, I agree with you, I think the guy got cut from his flag football team.
        Had to agree with one part, I wouldn't be able to sit through a whole UPS game if it wasn't against Linfield.
         And as far as Bob Davies goes......He was a Bad coach, and is now a Bad announcer! IMHO.  As the 2 cave men say.....Next time do a little research!........... I'll have the roast Duck!

                      BRING BACK THE BAND!

Interesting stuff on Bob Davies

Credentials:

Bob Davies graduated from Rutgers University, in New Jersey, in 1975 with a degree in Health. He was a high school teacher and coach for two years before resigning and attending graduate school at Springfield College, in Massachusetts. While at Springfield College he had the opportunity to coach Olympic athlete, Jeff Blatnick, who won the gold medal in Greco Roman wrestling in the Olympics. Bob also was an assistant football coach, while earning his masters of education degree in Psychology.

Upon graduation, he was hired as the head football, head wrestling coach, and researcher at California Institute of Technology, in Pasadena California. While at Cal Tech, he had the opportunity to research the work of Roger Sperry, who won the Nobel peace prize for his right and left brain research in 1980. This research lead to further discovery of the best techniques for elite performance used by the Bulgarians and Russians.

Bob left Cal Tech in 1979 for an assistant football coaching position at California State University Fullerton where his techniques helped an average football team to win two conference championships.

While at CSUF, the coaching staff was faced with the problem that every team on the schedule had better athletes. The only way to win would be to perform at the highest level of talent that they had, and hope to catch other teams performing at a lower level. That is exactly what happened. Together as a staff, the coaches developed a "template" to enable average athletes to tap into their potential. Just about every coach on that original staff has gone on to take these techniques to a higher level.

Steve Mariucci, went to the Green Bay Packers and helped a cast off quarterback, released by Atlanta, named Brett Farve, to become all NFL MVP. Today Steve is the head coach of the Detroit Lions.

Jerry Brown went to Northwestern and helped them to go from the basement to a Big Ten title and play in the 1995 Rose bowl. Others from that original staff have gone on to great accomplishments as well.

It is from this coaching background that Bob Davies has studied and formed systems around strategic planning, time accountability, tracking, and setting up systems that enable individuals to tap into the highest level of their potential.

Mr. Davies has a personal story that is relevant as well. He is a perfect example of the results of implementing the concepts of this keynote. Bob grew up in poverty. He is the only person in his immediate family to ever graduate high school. He was raised in a single parent household. His mother never graduated high school. His older brother got involved in drugs and never graduated. His younger sister also was involved in drugs and never graduated. Bob got involved in athletics. He had a coach who was a source of expectations, hope, and accountability.

Bob will reveal in this talk how he changed his point of view to break free of his "poverty mentality" and reach his goals in his business, health, and personal life.

Bob also added diversity to his background that is relevant. He is a former practicing hypnotherapist. Bob holds the highest credential available in the field of certified personal and professional coaching, Master Certified Coach. He has served on the board of the International Coaches Federation, the governing body for coaches, and currently sits on the "ARC" committee, the committee that reviews candidates for credentials.

Bob has successfully confronted his fear of heights by becoming an avid skydiver and pilot. He has over 1400 jumps at this time. He is also an instrumented rated private pilot. Bob has been diagnosed with "Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder". Despite this distractibility, he has managed all of the accomplishments above through the use of the techniques in this keynote talk.

Bob is a professional speaker, author, trainer, and coach. He spends much of his time, 70+ times per year, speaking about the principles in this presentation to a variety of organizations.

Tez....credentials are great..whatever they are they are, but you just can't go hurting peoples' feelings like Davies did.  Even if you speak the obvious, there will be people who want you to speak only of what they want to hear. 

Ah well, life goes on.

Surprised that nobody wants to talk about the Nooy transfer....

[Tuxguy]

Beancounter, Is that the qb from Idaho? If so, I was waiting till he was in school. .....Is He?

I think it's great when we can all agree to disagree!

Tez:
You posted the wrong info. Your post was about Bob Davies, with an s. Bob Davie was the announcer at the Hula Bowl for ESPN.
I thought something was wrong when there was no mention of his Notre Dame years in the bio you posted so I did some research. Here's the real info from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Robert Edwin Davie, Jr. (born September 30, 1954 in Sewickley, Pennsylvania) is a college football analyst and former American college football coach.

In 1977, Davie began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Arizona from 1978-79. From 1980-82, he returned to Pittsburgh as linebackers coach and then moved to Tulane as defensive coordinator and assistant head coach from 1983-84. From 1985-1989, Davie served as the outside linebackers coach at Texas A&M before serving as the school's defensive coordinator from 1989-93.

In 1994, Davie began his Notre Dame career as a defensive coordinator and as head coach from 1997 to 2001. In five seasons at South Bend, Davie compiled a 35-25 record including three bowl games (most notably the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, which was the first BCS game in school history); his final season included the 2001 AFCA Academic Achievement Award when the Notre Dame football team posted a 100% graduation rate.

Currently, Davie is a college football analyst for ESPN.

Davie is a graduate of Youngstown State University.

Tux, that's a sweet commercial. "Seriously guys, we're sorry. We didn't know you were still around."

The last sentence might apply to the Seattle Seahawks for some, as well. Although I'm not necessarily a Seahawks fan, I'm pulling for the NW team to get it done. I'm hoping this one ends the same way it does when a NW DIII team plays someone from the East.
