As a senior at UMass Amherst in 2003, Valdamar Brower was selected as an All-Atlantic 10 defensive lineman. It's not a surprise that it was tough for him to simplify his football mindset when he became a high school coach.
"Coming out of UMass I knew too much as far as defense and trying to implement new things," Brower said. "I was trying to do too many things. I had to slow it down, and kind of go back to when I was in high school."
Now in his fourth year as head coach at Central High School in Springfield, Brower is drawing upon his experiences playing at Northampton High School under the late coach Frank Tudryn to help him start his coaching career.
