Hidden Speed and Peanut Butter Power

Sports have taught him the value of perseverance, especially when things get tough. His favorite drill, the Pursuit Drill, reflects his focus on effort and accountability.
For Coach Fisk, the Texas Panhandle sports scene is special because of the electric atmosphere and the thrill of Friday night lights—a tradition that brings communities together and fuels his passion for the game.
Watching Kids and Community Grow
The best part of coaching for Coach Fisk is seeing his players grow and succeed, both on and off the field. He loves how the community rallies around the kids on Friday nights, creating an environment of support and pride.
Whether he’s leading field practice or reviewing film from last season, Coach Fisk is dedicated to helping his athletes improve and achieve their goals. With district championships and playoff runs on his radar, Coach Fisk is ready to lead Lefors ISD to new heights.
