  • Football

Kyle Maxfield has spent more than 32 years coaching high school football across the state of Texas, including 28 years in the public school system before entering the private school sector. Now entering his fourth season at Brentwood Christian School in Austin, Kyle has built a career around the relationships, lessons, and stories that come from the game. On Football Fix: Coaches Kickin’ It to the Max, he brings that experience to the microphone, sitting down with coaches, former players, and people who had a lasting impact on his journey. The podcast is for Texas high school football coaches, past and present players, and anyone who simply loves the game. Sometimes we will dive into college football and even NFL football. The vibe isn’t a formal interview in the coach’s office—it’s more like sitting on the coach’s back porch: laid-back, honest conversations, plenty of humor, a lot of laughs, and a whole lot of football talk. 🏈🎙️
