Kyle Maxfield has spent more than 32 years coaching high school football across the state of Texas, including 28 years in the public school system before entering the private school sector. Now entering his fourth season at Brentwood Christian School in Austin, Kyle has built a career around the relationships, lessons, and stories that come from the game. On Football Fix: Coaches Kickin’ It to the Max, he brings that experience to the microphone, sitting down with coaches, former players, and people who had a lasting impact on his journey. The podcast is for Texas high school football coaches, past and present players, and anyone who simply loves the game. Sometimes we will dive into college football and even NFL football. The vibe isn’t a formal interview in the coach’s office—it’s more like sitting on the coach’s back porch: laid-back, honest conversations, plenty of humor, a lot of laughs, and a whole lot of football talk. 🏈🎙️

He covers playing three years at Texas and reaching the College World Series all three seasons, the 1983 team’s historic staff with four 12-game winners, being drafted 26th overall by the Mets, and the business-like reality of MLB. Schiraldi shares stories about Coach Gus, teammates and stars he faced, differences between NL and AL play, pitching approach and travel demands, and his experience at the 40th reunion of the 1986 Red Sox World Series team at Fenway Park.
