Monticello Football Coach Discusses Approach With Kids During Uncertainty

How much do 16, 17 or 18-year-old kids keep up with what is happening behind the scenes as it relates to high school sports and how do their coaches approach what they should know? 

 

That is on the mind of Monticello football coach Cully Welter who says his goal is to be upfront and honest with his athletes and not do too much to diminish or get the hopes up of his kids. He says he tells them what he thinks is important and leaves it at that.

 

 

The multi-state champion and Hall of Fame football coach gives his kids a lot of credit. He explains they are doing a great job persevering through a very difficult time.

 

 

Coach Welter can be heard every Friday night on 95.9 FM WEZC and online at dewittdailynews.com from 7 pm to 8 pm as a part of the Monticello fall sports student-athlete spotlights. You'll hear from Coach Welter, one of his senior athletes along with band director Alison Allender and a couple of her band members. You can also hear from other high school athletes having their senior fall sports campaigns impacted by the COVID restrictions in Illinois.
