Get to Know Coach Meiars

You may have noticed him out and about – lifting in the weightroom and coaching out on the field. On Monday I had the privilege of getting to interview Coach Miears, a great new addition to the Bronco team.

Aside from coaching sports teams here at BUHS, Coach Miears also enjoys gardening, watching his son swim, and is the currently the reigning skipbo champion in his household. His favorite color is camouflage, and while attending high school in Sparks, Nevada, Miears participated in football, wrestling, and track and field. When asked his favorite high school memory, Miears beamed and replied, “playing our city rivals, they were probably number one in the state. We were pretty bad underdogs, and we beat them at a home game.” That year, Miears’s home team won the Mayor’s Cup, and Miears’s concluded his reminiscing by describing that unforgettable game as being the proudest sports moment of his life.

Coach Miears’s first year of coaching was the 2016 BUHS track season, in which some of his discus throwers qualified for CIF. This year, Coach Miears is coaching football (JV defensive and offensive lines, as well as helping out with Varsity), track and field throwing, and running the track offseason weightlifting program. According to Miears, the best part about coaching at BUHS is, “watching the kids progress, and watching them get excited.”

“I think we’ve got a great football team, I think we’re gonna have a great season,” Coach Miears admitted on Monday. And as for the upcoming track season, Miears believes that, “throwing will do good,” and we’ll have another shot at CIF, due to hard-working throwers and a young, growing team.

During my interview with Coach Miears, I asked the million dollar question – “which sports season is your favorite?” Miears laughed and answered, “I love football. And track…there’s just something about it. Football and track are about equal for me. Track is more relaxed, and it’s just you out there. I had some really great coaches for track and field. That really makes the difference.”
