Kirk Martin, head football coach at Colleyville Heritage High School, has been named the recipient of the 2021 The Landry Award Coach of the Year. Martin just completed his second season at CHHS and led the Panthers to the UIL Conference 5A Region Finals and an undefeated district championship.
Each year, The Landry Award recognizes a Coach of the Year who exemplifies the Christian values that defined Tom Landry on and off the field. A coach’s job is first about teaching life skills and molding young lives. They are shaping young people into the leaders of tomorrow. So many coaches in North Texas donate their time to be more than just a coach to kids. They are father figures, friends and, most of all, role models. They nurture them with unconditional love and turn them into the kind of adults that today’s world needs.
The Landry Award Coach of the Year, selected by Greater Dallas Fort Worth FCA leadership and The Landry Award voting panel, is one who encourages leadership, selflessness, maturity, respect and kindness.
