When coaches tell you about getting mental reps and locking in during drills or group work when you're not going or in... this is what that looks like by

! You think he's not trying to get better and compete for a spot?
Oh look zombie squats, slower tempos, lighter weight more technique focus… it’s almost as if in the Iron Eyrie we’re preparing you for what you will do at the next level… oh wait WE ARE! Stick to moving better be less concerned with maxing out and watch your numbers improve
If I was a high school junior right now I’d do everything possible to boost my GPA and Test scores. Those two things will open doors for you beyond just playing at the next level- internships, academic scholarships, etc.
Today was a blessing. I received an offer from Hendrickson High School in Pflugerville, TX. I am excited to announce that I have accepted the position and look forward to joining the Hawk Nation family. I can't wait…
Made a public declaration of reaffirming my faith today through baptism. Thankful to Pastor B for his guidance and
@MsJenniePennie
for supporting me.

Make sure you check on your teacher & coach friends in the coming weeks. With so much angst and uncertainty, these amazing people will continue to put in extra time, energy & effort to take care of others while wishing others would extend empathy & respect
I believe in a growth mindset & continuing education. It’s also important I be a man of my word & acquire knowledge & insight to help myself, my athletes & coaches! I look forward to taking these lessons & applying them to the teams I’m fortunate to work with! CSCS is next!
Student-athletes, now's the time to fill out recruiting questionaires, send out your film, study for SAT/ACT. Sleeping in & doing nothing will keep you "slept on". Be active in your own recruiting!
I am a Christian educator and coach. If you are in education or coaching, and you are a believer, I encourage you to copy+paste and post this. Our young people are watching, and they need us more than ever.
Honored to be able to serve the

Q1) What are some easy additions to a weight room (besides equipment) that can make an older room feel renewed or a newer room taken up a level?
#ironspeedchat
Peace out Kingsville! It's been a great adventure filled with memories, friendships, and bonds with people I'll never forget. Wish I could be present for tomorrow's SGA graduation. Love all my athletes and students. Be safe, work hard, shut up and lift the damn weight. Noonan out
Blessed and Honored to be selected as Regional Director for Central TX! Looking forward to connecting with more coaches in this amazing part of Texas!

Possibly the most important slide & speaking points from
@CoachLos92
! How you coach the warm-up or how you show up to coach tells a lot about who you are as a coach.
Words cannot describe how blessed I felt today. The surprise orchestrated by some amazing people to get to see kids that have given me so much trust, love, frustration, and motivation was awesome! I love each & every one of you. Today was a great reminder how amazing this job is!
PSA STOP VAPING especially if you're a middle school or high school student or student athlete. there is nothing good that can/will come of it for you...
You choose to be around it, partake, etc you then will have to endure the consequences.
240yrds in 20 min today. It’s amazing how far you can when you just put your head down and focus on putting one foot in front of the other.
This still suck, but the pump is 🔥! Work works
@coachstorms
When one of your throwers gets back from working out of state and wants to train, you get it done! Hard work, dedication & consistency are what create success, this young lady embodies that 💯!!!!
No matter what happens during the day the iron don’t care about your feelings just that you’re here to do work. Nothing like some heavy squats and a good sweat to clear the mind
Continuing to work on tracking and COD in open space. Threw in a wrinkle with a blocker. Great way to get the guys moving after spring break with intent! Credit

Very blessed and thankful to be able to celebrate my mamá’s 90th birthday yesterday and mine today with family & my amazing wife
@MsJenniePennie
for all the delicious foods & treats!
Tonight marks the final home game for the C/O ‘24. This is the first time in my career I’ve been 1 place for an entire class. It’s truly been awesome to watch these young men grow as athletes & people. So proud of them & know only greatness lies ahead for them! Love y’all!
Good morning to you whether you program and teach Olympic lifts or not, use a weight belt or not, teach to spill or to box pullers, and even those who don't drink coffee. Have a great day!
Nope! It’s okay to take a vacation, rest & recover. When you’re in town get to workouts and give 100% you still gotta have the right measurables, tape & grades to play at the next level.
Year 12 as a football coach! Crazy to think back to year 1 & how I had no idea what was going to happen. Here I begin with lots still TBD, but I know God is asking me to use my talents to help make young people better athletes & people so that’s what I’ll do!

Sample of the work from the Iron Eyrie today. Some SSB front load squats, Buffalo bar incline and trap bar split stance DLs. Moving the bar quickly was the goal. Some better than others but still good work today!

Happy birthday to my beautiful, intelligent, amazing, Godly wife
@MsJenniePennie
. I’m so thankful God has blessed you with another year on this earth and that I can celebrate with you. Love you!
A round of applause and a tip of the hat to my amazing & beautiful wife
@MsJenniePennie
for winning Teacher of the Year! I am so proud of her! Blessed to learn from her everyday and share life with her! Love you!
Crazy to think that a 2.5 hour personal investment of your time for skill work & strength/conditioning camp is only 10% of your day... There's still 90% leftover to work, sleep, eat, play video games, read books, hang with friends... How bad do you want to be great?

continuing to work on pursuit angles and closing/creating space. Borrowed the drill from

added some “trash” on the field to create a new level of cognitive stress, figured that was a

As much as I want my athletes earning individual awards, I want those team awards as well. This was the 1st time in my HC career we earned a team award. These kids help me grow as a coach every day. Very blessed to also have awesome asst coaches too who give so much of their time
Picture day & intra squad scrimmage for the Hawks today. Love coaching these young men and pushing them to become better. Can’t wait to see how great they’ll be!

The beautiful thing about social media is the ability to see how different coaches and programs do things and pick and poach what you like.
Respect to everyone working to make kids better each day
We may call things differently but we’re all on the same mission
Staying active during this time off is critical to keeping athletic performance on point. Sleep, Hydrate, body weight excercises- push-ups, air squats, planks, jump rope- stretch, foam roll. All things that help you stay ready as well as help fend off illness too.
You know you’re a coach when on your vacation you reach out to another coach to see his school and get a lift in! Appreciate
@RonnieJankovich
& the North Springs Spartan staff for letting me come check out the facilities and get a lift in!

@CoachTorres60
The strength & conditioning community as well as the powerlifting community lost a giant today. Louie Simmons was a polarizing figure but he only wanted to make people better and their best. Thank you Lou for everything! Tomorrow there will be box squats in his memory

Wise words from
@missEmitche11
:
Fun fact about people who work out (train) consistently: they usually aren’t any more motivated than those that don’t. They are just more disciplined.
Motivation is a feeling.
Discipline is a habit.
Choose your approach wisely.
Garret has Down syndrome but that didn't stop him from benching 355 lbs and taking the lead for heaviest bench at his school 🙏🙌

These two dudes are absolutely great coaches but better people! Blessed to call them friends and learn from them constantly!

@coachevans903
Couldn’t be more proud of
@dj_Jackson022
. From 2 years of HS ball to seeing him play in college and being able to hear the reason he wants to get into coaching is to give back to the game that gave him opportunity & be that coach like he had. Awesome!

Post game lift for
@HendricksonFB
. Tier 2 was push-ups, BSS, & inverted rows. Last night was a physical game with many guys playing 3 ways.
Give them the opportunity to adjust the lifts to how they feel, whether it’s doing the basics or pushing one’s self the intent is there!
