🙌🏼 Don’t let anyone ever tell your kid they can’t play multiple sports. You only get one childhood. This is awesome @gregolsen88
#Blackhawks prospect QB Mason West guides Edina to a state championship title to complete his high school football career. He said after the NHL Draft he wanted to play his senior year cause he felt like he owed it to his teammates. And he delivered.

Ned Crotty agrees with Greg Olsen: Don't ever listen to someone who says you should specialize in one sport. @gregolsen88 | @YouthInc | @USA_Lacrosse

Nick Saban watching Drake Maye play basketball during a recruiting visit? Ned Crotty can relate — and the incoming Hall of Famer has a strong stance on specialization.

Fun to see a conversation we started a while back continue to be discussed at the highest levels of football Great article on the way teams are playing the “Personnel Game” @FB_FilmAnalysis
How defenses match personnel is the biggest discussion in football right now so I talked to the leagues best defensive coordinators and coaches about their philosophy on matching or mismatching

When Georgia players transfer, Kirby Smart tries to schedule the team they transfer to: “When they want to leave, because they're not physical, that means they're probably going to a place that's not physical. We like those places. We like to play them.”
“A lot of these kids, nowadays, they want a check. They don’t want physicality. If you have the check and no physicality, you end up with nothing. We’re not just getting checks at our place. We’re hitting people.” - Kirby Smart on Georgia dominating the 4th quarter 21-0 vs. Texas

Asked Mike Vrabel about this today
This is absolutely what’s happening Teams should stop matching personnel in neutral situations and play the down and distance instead. Everything is about generating an advantage to THROW THE BALL!! To put it simply. Rushing attempts have gone up not bc offenses want to run

The Rams play a lot of dime (33% on the season) but took it to another level today vs SEA (51%!). As @gregolsen88 has been saying: Teams are going to dare Seattle to run the ball.

Of course they did. Seattle took the same approach The notion that teams continue to match personnel to improve Run defense at the expense of the pass is just bad ball The good teams understand this and we tried to tell people this weeks ago LA and Seattle defenses are
Rams DC Chris Shula with 14 (!) snaps of dime on 1st and 2nd down in this game. Over 60% of his early-down defensive snaps had 5+ defensive backs on the field.

Kids are capable of more than we realize. When we push them, believe in them, and hold them to high standards, they will rise to the occasion. @gregolsen88

Dear young athletes- keep this photo saved to your phone and show the next person who says you have to focus on one sport in HS. The amount of kids I’ve heard say “I can’t risk getting hurt” or “my coach won’t let me” drives me crazy. You get one shot to be a HS athlete.

I love great coaching 👊🏻 coach
Mike Macdonald today was asked about Greg’s analysis here. He agrees with Greg “to a large extent.” There’s some nuance to each situation, Mike says, but his philosophy is mostly in alignment with what Greg is saying about personnel deployment.
