Mike Kwedar — The only coach, at least in Texas, who won or assisted in the winning of national championships at the High School (Weatherford), Collegiate (Baylor) and Club levels (Fort Worth). He began his career in the front row for Forth Worth in the 70s and 80s, and then dedicated himself to coaching after his playing days, earning his Level III certificate with the Golden Lions in South Africa, using this experience as a coaching instructor for USA Rugby and the IRB (now World Rugby). As a coach for Division 2 Fort Worth RFC between 1994-2000, his teams won four TRU Championships, two Western RFU Championships, and the 2000 USA Rugby title. He assisted Weatherford High School while his son played, winning the D2 USA Rugby National Championship. Baylor University entered the 2002 season without a coach, so Mike made the twice-a-week commute from Fort Worth to Waco for the year, winning the TRU, Western RFU and USA Rugby National Collegiate Division II Championships
