“For me, this is a dream come true,” Wales said. “I'm a graduate of Elkmont High School, and finished here in 1987. To be able to come back and be the head coach is something very special. I'm thoroughly enjoying being able to run the program for the first time as a head coach. I take great pride in being a graduate.”
“The football coaching and working in the weight room are the things that come naturally and easily, because those are the things you love doing as a football coach,” Wales said. “The biggest difference in being a head coach is having to do a budget and be responsible for the financial part of things. You have to make sure everything is ordered and in proper care, and manage the stadium and practice fields. The actual coaching part is the same things we've always done. We can control the amount of times we come to summer workouts and the amount of effort we give in practice,” Wales said. “We can control how much we're focused on our task at hand. These are the kinds of things we're working on. If we take care of the small things and little details, and not worry about outside influences, then the winning is going to come.”
