J.J. Watt wants to be high school football coach one day
Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt is only 27, but he's already thinking about what he wants to do after his NFL career is over.
Watt envisions himself as a high school football coach once he retires, he told SportsRadio 610 on Friday.
"I think I would be coaching high school football in some capacity," Watt said. "If that requires being a high school gym teacher, whatever it may be, however I can do that, I just want to have that impact. And that is what I want to do when I'm done (playing in the NFL). I want to coach high school football and that's always what I've wanted to do."
That's not the only alternative career path Watt is considering, though. He'd also like to be a movie star.
"Maybe my life takes me a different path with movies and things like that, but as of right now, at some point in my life I will definitely coach high school football," he said. "Just because the impact you can have on kids, and the wisdom you can help give them and teach them and I think they are so impressionable. I was impressionable at that age and my high school coach did such an unbelievable job helping me, so I want to do that for other kids."
