Watch: Alabama high school coach takes time to teach life lessons – ‘Manly Monday’

One coach from Athens High School has gone viral after turning the nuisance of a flat tire into an opportunity to teach his players how to properly change a tire.

In a video posted this week by head football coach Cody Gross, Athens High School’s Coach Carter took time on Monday to demonstrate and explain to the team how a tire should be changed.

Carter used a personal example to outline the importance of knowing exactly what to do if you have a tire blowout while driving. He said he was going 75-80 miles per hour on I-65 in the Birmingham area one time and that knowing what to do not only kept him safe but allowed him to get back on his way quickly.

As of Friday at 3:30 p.m., the video had approximately 3.7 million views on Twitter.

Watch:

The video is the latest weekly installment in Carter teaching his players a life lesson every Monday. Gross then posts the videos to social media.
