Teaching players to be successful RV board meets
after high school is Smith’s plan
By Jen Jones
Coshocton High School’s
new head football coach,
Steve Smith, has plans that
go beyond football for his
players.
Smith said part of being
a good coach is to teach
teamwork and how to build
skills that will help his play-
ers be successful. “Most
football careers end after
high school. I want them to
further their education or
get jobs and be successful
members of the commu-
nity,” he said.
Smith has been a varsity

at CHS and spent time as

coordinator. “Being a head to help my community. I’ve
coach is just something I’ve been a coach here, and I
want to keep building the
program. Hopefully we can
take steps in the right direc-
tion and bring more wins to
the team,” he said.
Smith said Coshocton
High School has always
been special to him. He
played varsity football for
the Redskins from 1994-97
and was a captain his senior
year.
“It’s always good to come
home. Part of what makes
being the coach special is
because I played here too,”
Smith said. “I feel like I can
really relate to the players
because I’m from here. I
know the area, and I might
have played with their dad
or another family member. I
know their families.”

Smith also said the foot-
ball program has been con-
sistent. “I plan to focus on
the basics, the fundamentals
of football. We’ll keep get-
ting better at those things
and really turn the program
around,” he said.
Smith feels coach-
ing under other very good
coaches is the best experi-
ence he could have for his
new position. “I played for
and coached with some real-
ly good coaches. The best
experience you can have is
to go be with a team that
goes to playoff games and
wins games,” he said.
Smith and his wife, Ana-
lea, live in Coshocton with
thei r sons, Braxton and
Corbin.
