Corey Alberson Named NFL Youth Coach of the Week by the Kansas City Chiefs

Corey Alberson, the Week 1 winner of the NFL Play Football Youth Coach of the Week Award, representing the Kansas City Chiefs, is a big fan of how Pop Warner Football brings the community together in Blue Springs, Missouri.

"I like that my kids are going to be playing with kids that they'll be going to high school with," said Alberson, who has been coaching football in the community for about a decade.

Alberson, who played high school and college football, said his mantra is "show more love," something he learned from a longtime college football coach.

"We're thrilled to team up with the NFL on the Youth Coach of the Week program because it celebrates the true lifeblood of our organization and youth football: the volunteer coaches," said Steve Strawbridge, president/CEO of Pop Warner. "They are the mentors who not only help young athletes develop their skills on the field but also shape them as people. This award is a meaningful way to thank the men and women who give so much back to our game and our communities, ensuring the sport remains strong for the next generation. We're especially excited to partner with the Chiefs in Week 1 and highlight the great work of Coach Alberson. It's special to recognize a coach who represents that community and all that Pop Warner stands for."

Below, Coach Alberson joins High School Football America's Jeff Fisher to talk about why it's important to keep the game fun for kids who are just starting to learn the game.
