Carol A. White
Carol White has been director of the Auburn Kicking Academy for fifteen years. She also runs camps at Virginia Tech, University of Mississippi, Appalachian State University, Coastal Carolina University, Middle Georgia College, and the University of Central Florida. Each fall since 1989, she has set out from Atlanta early every Friday to drop in on high school football programs in some city in Alabama, Florida, or Georgia. She meets coaches, talks about instruction, attends games, and spends the night at the homes of our campers.
Over that fifteen-year span, many schools have changed head coaches, and many of her friends have retired. For those of you who do not know her, here is a brief summary. She holds college degrees from the University of Southern Mississippi, Florida State University, and the University of Georgia; She pursued a Ph.D. at Georgia Tech. She coached defense and special teams at Monroe High School in Albany, Georgia, from 1970 to 1985. Bill Curry brought her to Georgia Tech in 1985 as the first woman to coach football at an NCAA Division I-A institution. When he left for Alabama, she was hired by Bobby Ross. Since 1990, Carol has stayed away from college coaching to be free to work with players at all levels. In the spring of 1990, she spoke for the first time at the Auburn Coaching Clinic. She is a regular speaker at Glazier football clinics and at various college and state association conferences. The following statistics should help you evaluate the merits of the programs Coach White runs.
