The new Madras High
School Head Football Coach, 29
year old Rod Chester, feels
that the purpose of ath
letics is to arrive at personal
satisfaction through competi
tion. He places emphasis on
the concept of competition and
upon helping a person learn
what his total individual abil
ities and committments are.
“I don’t think the average
youngster in today’s society
fully realizes his potential,”
said Chester. “So many things
are made easy for him, or are
done for him. When a person
succeeds in a sport, satisfac
tion is gained because he
knows he’s done it himself.”
Chester stressed that he
thinks sports have a very im
portant place in a person’s life
because of the competition.
“It’s a chance for an indivi
dual to prove himself,” he
said. “If a person cannot excel
academically, he may be able
to do so athletically.”
Rod Chester attended Boise
Jr. College for two years,
Oregon State College for one
and a half years, then finished
up at the College of Idaho at
Caldwell where he received his
B.A. in social sciences and
business administration.
After
graduation,
he
coached football and basketball
for one year at Nampa, Idaho,
and has taught the last three
years at West Albany where he
was assistant football and
assistant track coach.
When asked what brought
him to Madras, Chester said
he has the impression that this
area has a definite winning at
titude. “Fred Sandgren also
had a great influence on my
decision to come here,” he
said.
Addressing himself speci
fically to questions about
Warm Springs, Chester said he
believes that there are a far

ROD CHESTER
greater number of fine athletes
in Warm Springs than turn out
for the High School athletic
programs.
He said he believes this is
true because baseball and
other sports programs in
Warm Springs are so very
successful. Chester said that he
hopes his new ideas will stim-
- ulate interest in addition to
making it fun.
The new Head Coach said
he plans to use a “slot-I”
formation offense, and a
“slant-5” defense. He antici
pates that the games will be
about 60 percent running and
40 percent passing. “Of course
we’d be flexible if some kids
with terrific passing arms
came along,” he said.
A weight and conditioning
program is built into the prac
tice schedule and many par
ents will be relieved to know
that during practice,’■scrims
mage contact instead of full
tackling will be used.
Chester, his wife Christine,
and their 3 ¥2 year old son
Justin, are still unpacking,
painting, and getting ready for
Fall and the start of the new
school year. In addition to his
new job a&. Head Football
Coach, Chester will also be
coaching sophomore basket]
ball.
Besides getting up paren
conferences, equipment pickup
times, and daily doubles
Chester is trying to meet with
and talk to as many of the
kids who will be in the athleti
program as possible.
Rod Chester says he likes
dealing with younger people
and is looking forward to the
Fall. “In fact,” he said with a
broad smile, “I can hardlj
keep my enthusiasm bottle
up!”
