The Power of TEAM!
“I want to be able to give back what was given to me so many times: encouragement, patience, and support.” Wrote our Coach of the Week, Floyd Barco from Raleigh, North Carolina. Barco grew up playing Pop Warner football for the then Seaside Apaches, high school football and track & field. He earned a full ride scholarship for track & field to San Diego State University, where he still holds some records for the 400m to this day! Barco was so thankful for all the success he has had in his athletic career and uses coaching as one way to give back to the community what he has learned.
Not only does our Coach of the Week give back to his community through coaching but he also is a deacon of the lords Church, The Church of Christ in his town. He helps college kids who are looking to find a better direction in their life.
Outside of work, Barco is happily married to Dotty who is always the team mom taking pictures and encouraging from the sidelines. They have four boys that range from the ages of 8 to 13 years old. All of his boys play sports, which is how Barco quickly became involved in coaching.
Barco has been coaching Garner Pop Warner football for seven years, and the Carolina Eagle track & field for four years. His current team the Trojan Mighty Mite Blue team has 85% to 90% first time players on this level as well as being new to football. They have had their first game and as Barco wrote “the first game was a tough one”. He went on to say that they did not play how they practiced but knew his team would not lose faith. Barco knew that all he could ask for was that each player on his team try their best. “ we may not win every game, but we will win in regards to getting better, stronger and more dependable on each other.” In the end the Trojans will be more like brothers then teammates.
The Trojans might have lost their first game but they are ready to work hard with the help of their coaches and families. Barco wrote “ Weplay has been a tremendous way for our team to stay together.” The Trojans use Weplay to post new pictures, get directions, and to ask any questions they might have.
Congratulations to Floyd Barco and good luck to the Trojans on your upcoming season!

Weplay is a Life Saver for our Team Parent of the Week!
“Communication is the key to making everything run smoothly.” wrote on-the-go mother of two and our Team Parent of the Week, Terri Dixon from Charlotte, North Carolina!
Dixon finds that communication is an important part of her everyday life. She is a full time mother with a license in cosmetology and has been married for 26 years to a wonderful husband who is always willing to help in any way that he can. She has two children, Ashley, 14, and Casey, 10, who both attend the Lake Norman Charter School. Ashley is a JV Cheerleader at school and this will be Casey’s fourth year playing with the Odell Eagles Jr. Pee Wee football team.
Dixon has taken on the role of team mom for the Eagles. In her own life and with the Eagles she always likes to find the best way to make every situation run smoothly, which as we all know starts with communication. She makes sure that every parent has the information they need to feel that they know exactly what is going on and where.Communication can make or break a team, and with a team mom like Dixon you know that your team is on the right track. As we all know having perfect communication is easier said then done but our Team Parent of the Week makes it look like a piece of cake!
Dixon’s number one recommendation for fellow team moms was to get a group on Weplay! She went on to say “it’s a life saver.” She has found that Weplay has made communication between the team, coaches, players, and parents 100% easier! Another recommendation that Dixon would give to fellow team moms is to have other parents help out with whatever you need. Don’t be afraid to ask for help because as we all know it is not always an easy job to manage a team!
Being a team mom may be hard work but the best experience for Dixon has been getting to know all the children on the team as well as the parents. Having a close team is one of the many stepping stones to a successful season, and as Dixon already knows a close team starts with COMMUNICATION!
Congratulations to this weeks Team Mom, Terri Dixon. The Eagles are very lucky to have a great communicator like you as their team mom! Good luck in your upcoming season! Go Eagles!
