Recruits.... if you think your high school coach is the reason you aren’t getting recruited... you’re wrong. Your HS coach has the obligation to College Coaches to be honest about your academics, work ethic, commitment, attitude, and leadership.

My son began his school sports career this year. He was part of three teams and cut from one. His role on all his teams was in a reserve roll. He was part of a team. He learned valuable lessons. He worked hard. He was held accountable. He was happy.

Today, society is making it where being on a team is no longer a privilege, playing time is no longer earned, coaches are to blame, kids are not held accountable, & winning doesn’t matter. In return, we expect young student athletes to be prepared for what life throws @ them. 🤔

When you decide not to attend team activities because you “didn’t feel like it” or “I forgot” what you really should say is “it’s not important to me” or “I don’t care about my teammates, coaches, or my team”. Actions speak louder than words.

100%..... The college football business is tough. The Muschamp family is first class. Many of these players chose SC because of the relationships they built with these coaches during recruiting. This is tough on all the coaches, families, players, and players families.
Alright yall. It's over. Didn't work out and it was probably time. But worth remembering that there's a team of kids who are hurting right now bc they lost their coach and assistants and support staff who don't know their future. Muschamp is a good dude, it just didn't work out.

By holding high school athletes accountable to make practice and workouts doesn’t mean you are preparing them to play college sports, it means you are preparing them for life.

Coaches not requiring strength training in and out of season are not preparing their athletes to be the best they can be. Don’t be that coach that preaches “it will mess up her shot”, it will mess up his swing”, or “I don’t want him to get to big”. Instead, get educated!!!

BIG DAWGS! Their sole job is to exert bodily force on an opponent to protect others from being tackled or hit. They don’t expect their name in the paper and sacrifice for the betterment of a greater cause. They are the most selfless group on the field. Proud of MY BIG DAWGS.

The transfer portal has killed recruiting for many three star and two star high school football players. Many of these kids are being offered PWO’s instead of scholarships that they once would have received.

“But Coach, the weight room doesn’t fit into my schedule”
Recurring ankle injuries almost ended Steph Curry’s career early.
Then, he hit the weight room. By 2015, he was deadlifting over 400lbs and his ankles were healthy.
Steph is so great because he didn’t rely on talent; he worked harder and smarter.
Talent isn’t enough; WORK.

Don’t let a selfish coach scare you by telling you that you will fall behind in their sport, by playing multiple sport. If you are one of the best players on your team and work hard, you will play.

If as a parent you are bothered by your child’s playing time, that’s a you problem. If your child is bothered about his or her playing time, then guide them to talk to the coach. It’s their turn to play sports and learn the lessons it teaches.

This is why sports are great. Sports don’t always give you playing time, but it gives everyone an opportunity to be a good teammate, be accountable, work hard, build friendships and learn from mistakes. You don’t have to be the star to benefit from athletics.

We can agree to disagree.... But playing for the name on the back is what seems to be the issue with teams that aren’t winning. Teams that are winning don’t seem to have kids opting out.

Of course coaches play favorites. Specifically, my favorite players get to practice early, works hard, put in the extra it takes to be good, is discipline, and takes pride in the name on the front of the jersey.

It drive me crazy when young guys choose not to play because they think they may not play much, then make the comment “I am going to play next year.”
It’s more than playing time. It’s about being part of a team, developing your skill, learning the culture & expectations.

Alex Huntley was in a boot just yesterday after getting rolled up on in practice

It’s not a secret and it’s not easy. It takes commitment from coaches, players, parents, and administration. It takes a standard of accountability that comes from sacrifice from everyone involved. It’s not for for everyone. It’s hard, but in the end, it’s worth it.

Played 10 years of football and never scored a TD. Played 10 years of Basketball and never scored a 1000 points. Played 12 years of baseball and never got the game winning hit. Yet, I am blessed by the lifetime memories and friendships that athletics have brought me.

When I was growing up, mandatory practice meant just that… Mandatory. It didn’t mean come if you are in town. It meant, be there or you don’t play. Sometimes it seems the definition has changed and the expectation is still to win.

Lawnmower parents are the newest breed of overbearing parents who are excessively involved in their children's lives. They plow ahead—micromanaging, interfering, and arranging. Their goal is to protect them from failure, disappointment, discomfort, and adversity.

5 Reasons Athletes Need the Weightroom In and Out of Season:
1. Injury Prevention
2. Confidence
3. Life Time Learning
4. Become a Better Athlete
5. Social Development
Coaches that don’t let their athletes lift in season are guilty of denying the opportunity of these 5 Things

How much do we have to hear that playing year around singular sports like baseball causes injury and lifting weights helps prevent injury? Yet we continue to ignore it all, continue to play year around, and skip strength training sessions. SMH.... Prioritize correctly!!!

Things college out recruiting have asked:

2. Do you play multiple sports
3. What are their parents like
4. Do they like to lift weights
5. What kind of kid are they

1. How many stars do they have
2. Tell me about their accolades (All-state)

If you are wondering why your child isn’t getting playing time even when the game is in hand and out of reach. Ask your child what he or she is doing at practice to help the team. Are they hiding in the back when coach needs someone to help? Playing time is earned for everyone.
