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.
More from Arkansas Razorbacks
Arkansas has fired football coach Bobby Petrino.
Razorbacks athletic director Jeff Long announced the news at a press conference Tuesday night. Long said Petrino was terminated with cause.
"There was no negotiation about how he could remain as our coach," Long said.
Long said he thoroughly reviewed the details involving a motorcycle accident that sent Petrino to the hospital with broken ribs and a cracked vertebrae.
CBS SPORTS- Arkansas freshman Marquel Wade apologized Monday for hitting Vanderbilt punt returner Jonathan Krause early, a crushing tackle that led to Wade's ejection Saturday.
Wade has not been suspended for the hit, which occurred during the third quarter of the No. 8 Razorbacks 31-28 win over the Commodores. The wide receiver, playing on special teams, said he thought Krause had the ball when he ran through the returner.
"I was just going out there doing 100 percent, trying to play my game and I messed up," Wade said. "I take all the [responsibility] for everything I did."
Through the end of July, here are the verbal commits for 2012:
1) LSU Tigers 18
2) Alabama Crimson Tide 14
3) Miss State Bulldogs 14
4) Auburn Tigers 13
5) Arkansas Razorbacks 12
6) Ole Miss Rebels 8

ALABAMA
Ha’Sean Clinton-Dix, S: Alabama boasts one of the best safety tandems in the league in Mark Barron and Robert Lester, but the 6-foot-1, 203-pound Clinton-Dix has the size and skill set to come in and make the Crimson Tide even stronger on the back end of their defense.
Cyrus Kouandjio, OT: One of the top offensive tackle prospects in the country last year, Kouandjio could provide some immediate depth. The Tide were already looking at moving All-SEC guard Barrett Jones to left tackle.
LSU
Jarvis Landry, WR: If the Tigers are going to make a run at a national championship in 2011, they’re going to need a lot more production from their passing game than they got a year ago. Landry is dynamic in the open field and should complement Rueben Randle and Russell Shepard nicely.
ARKANSAS NEWS- It’s no secret Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino pays attention to detail and expects players to do so as well. So it’s no surprise the ideology was extended to a dinner set up through the program’s student-athlete development staff.
The goal, according to assistant athletic director Eric Wood, was making sure players are prepared off the field as much as they are on it under Petrino...
