Dear Coach Heupel,
I am excited to return to my alma mater to coach defensive backs. I gave Tennessee my all once, but it wasn't enough for me. I hope to return to coach and positively impact the lives of young children. I am familiar with the culture surrounding the building. During my career, we achieved amazing success and won many games. However, I believe that the greatest of this program is yet to come and I am eager to participate.
Thank you for considering my application. Get back to me, Coach! Go Vols.

Warm regards,
JT

According to my typefocus results, I am an “ISTJ”. I am good with details and think logically. Because they think logically, they often become practical problem-solvers and adopt a responsible outlook on life.

ISTJs are good organizers and get things done. In their own quiet way, they see what must be done, analyze the alternatives, and organize the solutions. And they manage to do it with quietness and grace. All of this sounds like me. People with my personality often desire careers that value an organized, practical approach to problem solving. They often become good managers or hands-on technicians. They enjoy a workplace that is organized with clear expectations, where they can use their detailed knowledge and ability to organize. They enjoy working by themselves and taking pride in their work. The types of careers that may appeal to them include all kinds of different management positions, computers, police work, engineering, accounting and teaching (math, technical subjects). ISTJ’s want to work with people like themselves and a supervisor that understands their style of work.
