At Signature Championship Rings, we believe in celebrating not just championships but the journey that makes them possible. That’s why we’ve teamed up with the Coach and Coordinator Podcast to bring you the Champions Series—a set of episodes focused on the insights, strategies, and lessons that build champions, on and off the field.

In this special Champions episode, titled “Design It and Step Back,” presented by Signature Championship Rings, Coach and Coordinator welcomes Kyle Schmitt, the head coach of Archbishop Spalding High School in Maryland. Under Coach Schmitt’s leadership, Spalding has dominated the competition, securing back-to-back MIAA “A” State Championships in 2022 and 2023. His success also earned him the title of 2022 Baltimore Ravens Coach of the Year.

In the podcast, Coach Schmitt dives deep into a powerful topic: the importance of looking in the mirror and taking responsibility for coaching decisions. He shares how this mindset helped him focus more on two often-overlooked areas of the game—special teams and game management. By refining these critical aspects, Coach Schmitt steered his team to multiple state titles, cementing his legacy at Spalding.

Kyle Schmitt’s coaching philosophy, grounded in accountability and self-reflection, serves as a valuable lesson for leaders everywhere. He credits part of his approach to the influence of legendary coaches Ralph Friedgen, former University of Maryland head coach, and current Penn State head coach James Franklin. Their mentorship helped shape his views on leadership, team dynamics, and the path to success.

One of Coach Schmitt’s proudest moments? Designing the football championship ring that encapsulates his team’s remarkable journey. Coach Schmitt partnered with Signature Championship Rings to create a custom design that captures the heart of Archbishop Spalding’s achievements. As he discusses on the podcast, having a tangible reminder of their hard work in the form of a championship ring is a lasting symbol of the effort, dedication, and excellence that defined their seasons.

At Signature Championship Rings, we are honored to celebrate champions like Coach Schmitt. With over 10,000 teams and organizations served, we understand the importance of capturing each champion’s unique story in their custom ring.
