Keith Allen Leading Schreiner with Family Values and Grit

Keith Allen is a college football coach and a devoted family man. However, succeeding in both areas is incredibly challenging, which is why books on managing life’s challenges are so popular. The Oklahoma alumnus and Tulsa native spent his first 18 years coaching at the collegiate level, serving in various roles with the Sooners, Louisiana-Monroe, TCU, Quincy, San Jose State, and Southwest Baptist.

In 2012, Allen shifted his focus from being the head coach at NCAA Division II Southwest Baptist to prioritizing his family. He took on the role of head coach at The King’s Academy in Florida. The Allen family spent eight years at King’s Academy before relocating to Houston, where Allen became the offensive coordinator and assistant junior varsity softball coach at Klein High School.
