I'm a coach's wife, telling a story the best I know how. It's important and I want to get it right! Jump on the train quick for the Temple Wildcats are gathering steam! Their destination is unknown but their desire is for greatness. Prayerfully join us as God unfolds a new chapter. They've all been good but I won't be surprised if He's saved the best for last!

If you’re an early riser you can catch the Wildcats in the morning in their 1st two-a-day practice, from 6:15 – 9:15! Though it’s sure to be warm and humid in Central Texas, the Temple Wildcats are ready and roaring!

After a great off season with a daily average of 185 and a high of 223, plus a successful 7 on 7 season the Cats have never been stronger. And speaking of better. The new weight room and Fieldhouse renovation going to blow you away!

IMG_0692IMG_0696IMG_0693

While the 2012 Temple Wildcat seniors were preparing to graduate Saturday morning

the had a surprise visitor. Previously arranged by Associate Principal Alana Wood,

had Coach Spradlin introduce the special guest who he has known a long time. In fact,

few know her better for she is his daughter. Kim Spradlin, the recent winner of

Survivor One World.

Delighted to be invited, Kim quickly took the stage and in a few minutes said what she knows

to be true. Dream big! Don’t be afraid to take a chance. Even if you don’t

have all the answers. Do your best. Respect others and amazing things might happen to you!

Coaching Kim!


In case you have some how missed the news, our daughter Kim is currently playing on the 24th
season of Survivor. If I do say so myself she is doing a great job of staying under the radar and out of the kill zone. However, close observations might allow you to see a quiet leader emerging.

Believe me when I say this girl KNOWS what she is doing. Growing up with an awsome dad, who just happens to be an excellent coach, has given Kim a huge advantage! She is athletic, disciplined, determined and delightful! A team player, as well as a leader. She knows how to listen. She knows how to motivate! Afterall, she learned from one of the best!
Last night she took steady aim.
Fired!

And hit her target (second from the bottom)!
We couldn't be prouder of the way Kim is playing this game! More importantly, the way she is living her life. I hope you are watching and cheering her on. If not you can catch up at www.cbs.com/shows/survior
