• His education on loyalty
• The coaches that influenced/impacted him along the way
• The education of being a head football coach and athletic director
• The ups and downs of starting a program from the ground up
• How a community is more important than a town
• The importance of building a program to last and doing right by the kids
• A touching story of Coach Clayton's education on how to treat kids and understand they are all different
• How football and sports contributes to giving kids something positive
