Every coach wants a player-led team, but how do you create a culture where athletes hold each other accountable, play for something bigger than themselves, and show up every day ready to compete? At Round Rock High School, Coach Cody Moore and Coach Jordan Gesh have built a football program centered around brotherhood, relentless effort, and above-the-line behavior—not just on the field, but in life.

In this episode of Coach 360: Beyond The Game, Coach Moore and Coach Gesh discuss their turnaround season, shifting from a 4-7 record to 8-1 by focusing on culture over results. They share how self-reflection, accountability, and redefining leadership helped reshape their team, their coaching approach, and ultimately, their success.

If you’re a coach looking to build a lasting culture that goes beyond the scoreboard, this episode is packed with practical strategies and coaching leadership insights.

Key Takeaways from the Episode

Self-Reflection is the First Step to Growth – Instead of blaming external factors, great coaches start with the person in the mirror and focus on what they can control.
Culture Over Talent Wins Every Time – Shifting from focusing on wins and losses to building leadership and accountability made all the difference for Round Rock’s turnaround season.
Brotherhood is a Choice – Players must actively choose to be part of the team culture, looking out for their teammates and holding themselves to a higher standard.
Above-the-Line vs. Below-the-Line Behavior – A simple, powerful framework that helps athletes course-correct quickly and understand the impact of their actions.
Accountability Starts with Leadership – Assistant coaches play a vital role in supporting head coaches, offering honest feedback, and ensuring everyone is aligned with the program’s values.
Make Character Development a Priority – Round Rock’s BE REAL acronym (Brotherhood, Relentless Effort, Above the Line) is woven into everything they do—not just a poster on the wall.
Invest in Kids Beyond the Game – The best coaches mentor, encourage, and love their athletes unconditionally, knowing that coaching is about building men, not just players.
