In this episode of The Way We See It, Pastor Alex Bryant sits down with Nixa High School football coach, Coach John Perry. Coach Perry has been a staple in high school football coaching for nearly three decades, both in Mississippi and Missouri. After winning a state championship and making multiple title runs in Mississippi, he moved to Missouri, where under his leadership, Nixa High School has made back-to-back appearances in the Class 6A state championship game. But while the scoreboard tells one story, Coach Perry’s real legacy goes far deeper. After a family medical crisis reshaped his priorities, he re-centered his life around faith, family, and then football. Now he’s focused on developing young men who are winners not just on the field, but in life. This episode is filled with coaching wisdom, real talk about priorities, and what it means to never stop getting better—in every area that matters.
