Holgate Signs With Football Speakers Group
Jay Holgate has joined Football Speakers as a professional speaker. Jay is an SEC sports writer and motivational speaker based in Atlanta, Georgia. Here is the link to his promotional video.
As a credentialed member of the SEC, he reports exclusively on SEC football and basketball. His column is published weekly in over 200 on-line newspapers in the Southeast, and he can be heard weekly on sports radio stations across the South.
An active member of the Football Writers Association of America, Jay writes on leadership skills, management styles, strategy, psychology, teamwork and motivation used in winning in the SEC. Because Jay is a freelance writer not beholden to a newspaper, he can take a story where a beat writer may not go.
Jay is also a weekly guest on a number of sports radio programs around the South, and his radio interviews have been viewed by thousands on YouTube.
Recognizing the management practices of a head coach are nearly identical to those of a well run organization, Jay began articulating these lessons to business leaders.
No matter the size of the organization, Jay’s encouraging and passionate message about hope, focusing on the goal, and the perseverance required of every member each day is both motivating and inspiring.
Jay is also a certified life coach who works with athletes and executives, challenging clients to exceed their expectations.
His own personal story of following his dreams began simply wanting to be on the sidelines of an SEC football game. In time Jay was led to the media press box, and put right in the middle of the recruiting war of a top 5 football player in the country.
Watching his own dreams build through the years drives him to push others to live a life of fulfillment and happiness.
Jay is married to Kim Freeman of Atlanta, Georgia. They have two children who follow SEC football, Ashley Reagan 17, and Jack 6.

ESPN
GEORGIA
Isaiah Crowell, RB: He arrives in Athens with a ton of hype. Georgia has yet to find its feature back and Crowell has all the talent to be that player. Some think he could start by the midpoint of the season. He was the nation’s top running back and in 2010 he rushed for 1,721 yards and 18 touchdowns.
Malcolm Mitchell, WR: Mitchell played both sides of the ball in high school, but Georgia’s staff really likes what he could do at receiver. He’s a tremendous athlete and will get a chance to earn playing time for the fall, especially with some unproven receivers already on Georgia’s roster.
SOUTH CAROLINA
Jadeveon Clowney, DE: Clowney will enter preseason camp with a mound of expectations. He was the country’s top high school player last year, and even though there is a lot of talent on South Carolina’s defensive line, it will be hard to keep him off the field with his freakish ability. He recorded 162 tackles, including 29 tackles for loss, 29.5 sacks, 11 forced fumbles, six recovered fumbles and scored five touchdowns last fall.
KNOXVILLE NEWS- The Vols now have two less defensive tackles than they had at the end of spring. Montori Hughes, listed as a backup on the post-spring depth chart, was kicked off the team because of academic reasons earlier in the month.
Senior Rae Sykes, who went through the junior college route out of Alcoa to land a scholarship with the Vols, is not with the team “at this time” because of academic reasons, UT spokesman Jimmy Stanton confirmed Monday.
KNOXVILLE NEWS- UT will also have a pair of talented freshmen vying for playing time early with A.J. Johnson and Christian Harris on campus, and sophomore Raiques Crump will also be in the mix after leaving spring with a spot on the two-deep.
ESPN- Lane Kiffin spent 4 hours answering questions. Bruce Pearl spent 5 hours. We won't know an answer from the NCAA for 8-12 weeks.
