Episode 2: Melissa Rogers

In 2023, Coach Justin Rogers and the Thomas County Central Yellow Jackets were crowned the king of 5A. None of it would’ve been possible without the help of his queen, Melissa Rogers. In the second episode of The Women Behind the Whistle, Morgan Jackson sits down with Mrs. Melissa Rogers.

The Women Behind the Whistle pulls back the curtain on life as a coach’s wife—the highs, the hurdles, and the heart behind the game. From juggling family responsibilities to navigating the sacrifices that come with long seasons, this podcast celebrates the women who stand strong on the sidelines. With candid conversations about everything from game day attire to building community, you’ll hear the stories, challenges, and rewards that rarely make the highlight reel. Whether you’re part of the coaching world or just curious about the life behind the whistle, this show offers an honest, uplifting look at the women who help keep it all together.
