What motivates you every day to be the best football coach you can be?

“What really motivates me is I look back and understand what my dad put into it and the time he spent with me. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. So I like giving back to the kids and being a teaching tool, and it definitely comes from my dad who motivates me.”

Railroad locomotives and related equipment used in transporting goods and passengers are powered by diesel engines and emit diesel exhaust. Diesel exhaust is a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, and contains chemicals known to the State to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some people near railroad operations are exposed to diesel exhaust. Exposure depends on many factors, including the type and intensity of railroad operations, how close you are to the facility, how much time you spend there and whether there are other sources of diesel exhaust in your area. This map shows major railroad facilities in this area, although smaller facilities may also result in exposure:
