Football Staff

Coach Mike Zdebski has been coaching at Walled Lake Western since 1994, when he joined the staff as Offensive Coordinator bringing the Wing-T offense to Walled Lake. Since that time, he moved to become the defensive coordinator when the Warriors won the 1996 Class AA state championship. Then in 1999 as Head Coach he lead Western to a 14-0 record and the Division 1 Championship, the schools second title in four years. Also in 1999 the Michigan High School Football Coaches Association named Mike Division 1 coach of the year. Under Zdebski's watch the Warriors have become a force to reckon with compiling a record  of 67 wins to 27 losses and the highest winning percentage in school history. Coach "Z" began his coaching career at Garden City High School and has also spent time at Berkley High before joining the Warriors in 1994.

Coach Zdebski was raised in Garden City by his parents Frank and Joyce. A graduate of Olivet College where Mike was an Academic All-American football player, Mike also holds a Master's Degree from Michigan State University. Mr. Zdebski is also a math teacher who has been recognized for his teaching abilities with the Who's Who of Teaching Award three times.

Mike and his wife Wendy reside in Wixom with their two sons Brent and Trevor. They have two dogs named Shadow and Lady.

Random Quotes


When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, ethier. Then will power wil be no problem. -Emil Zatopak
