“Football isn’t a sport for liars. It demands brutal honesty. You can lie to us about your speed, strength, technique and how your grind is grindier than the grindiest grind that’s ever been grinded. Cool. No one cares. Step across that white line and we’ll all see the truth.”

“The weight-room is special because it only rewards those that work. It values tenacity over talent. It doesn’t care about ⭐️’s or playing time. It’s a sanctuary where athletes aren’t subject to scrutiny from the outside world. The weight-room is a equal opportunity equalizer.”

“The purest form of football is still small town, small school HS 🏈. It’s not about the money, facilities , slick new uniforms or coaches’ long term contracts & buyouts. It’s taking pride to be successful for yourself, classmates, parents and the community who supports you.”

Had a college coach recruiting an Offensive Lineman one time, and the coach came to watch practice. They were ready to “offer” the player. They didn’t. Coach told me he .... “didn’t hustle much” in practice. “Only went through the motions...”

Doing your job doesn’t always mean scoring TD’s. It may mean running your route full speed to open up the play for your buddy or making a block to open a hole for the RB. If you aren’t genuinely fired up for your teammate when he does well- you need to check yourself. Team 1st.

Players: Toughness is a skill. It’s hard to teach, hard to find & hard to beat. I’ve never heard a coach complain that they had too many tough kids. Strengthen your mental/physical toughness. Accept that it will always be tough, but always get up & come back for more. Never quit

Players have 2 choices: You can pout or prepare. Whether you play or don’t play, whether you win or lose, you will never regret working hard, making sacrifices, being disciplined or focusing too much. These skills not only prepare you for the game, but will prepare you for life.
