FOOTBALL UPDATES

Dear Walnut Hills Football Families, My name is Coach Goodman, and I am honored and excited to introduce myself as the new Head Football Coach at Walnut Hills High School. I want to thank the administration for this opportunity and share how grateful I am to join a school and community with such a strong tradition of excellence both academically and athletically. I am truly excited about the opportunity to work with your sons and to build a football program that reflects the values of Walnut Hills. My goal is to develop student-athletes who compete with passion, discipline, and pride, while also emphasizing character, accountability, and teamwork. Success on Friday nights matters, but preparing young men for life beyond football matters even more. As we begin building our program, strength training will be an important foundation. For the month of February, we will be lifting Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 3:30–5:00 PM. These sessions will focus on developing strength, speed, and proper technique while reinforcing commitment and consistency. To help establish strong communication and share our vision moving forward, we will be holding a parent meeting on Wednesday, March 4th, from 6:00–7:00 PM. I strongly encourage all parents to attend, as this will be an opportunity to discuss expectations, offseason goals, and answer any questions you may have. If your son is currently participating in another sport, please let me know so I can make note of it. We fully support multi-sport athletes and want to ensure proper communication and coordination. I believe the best programs are built through strong relationships between players, families, coaches, and the school community. Open communication and trust will be a priority for me, and I look forward to working alongside you to support our athletes in every way possible. I am energized by the potential of this program and excited about what we can accomplish together. I can’t wait to get started and begin building something special at Walnut Hills. If you have any questions or need to reach me, please feel free to contact me at dwgoodie16@gmail.com. Thank you for your support, and I look forward to meeting you soon. Go Eagles, Coach Goodman Head Football Coach Walnut Hills High School
