It’s my boy bday r.i.p rook❤️ and I’m going to be a girl dad 💖 I fell out of excitement 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

📍 Come to UNLMTD Performance and let’s get you prepared so politics never becomes a factor

The game isn’t about politics — it’s about preparation. If you’re good enough, if you work hard enough… they can’t ignore you.

This is why I coach athletes the way I do — because I know where I failed. And this is why I always preach: Find a coach who’s been where you want to go. If they haven’t been there, they can’t truly relate to the grind, the setbacks, or the reality of what it takes to make it.

And if politics is truly a factor? It always works itself out. Either it’s going to teach you how to deal with adversity… or it’s going to lead you to transfer. Either way, you’ll learn a lesson that’ll serve you in life.

Now , don’t get me wrong. Sometimes politics can come into play, especially now with NIL deals turning sports into even more of a business. But trust me — 90% of the time, if you truly are the best player on the field, you will play. These coaches want to win.

But the truth? I just didn’t work hard enough — and I’m okay with saying that now. Looking back, I can see all the extra reps, the conditioning, the film study… the stuff I could have done but didn’t.

FACTS FRIDAY💥 “It’s not politics keeping you from playing… it’s your work ethic.” I used to blame politics. I thought coaches were against me. I thought the system was unfair.

🎯 Bottom line: Just because someone has energy, runs hard sessions, or gets along with kids doesn’t mean they’re qualified. Coaching is deeper than vibes. It’s about development, progress, and actually knowing what you’re doing.

📌 That’s not coaching. That’s copying. Real coaches understand the why behind every drill — not just the look.

🚩 4. The “Instagram Trainer.” Scrolls IG, finds a drill from someone famous, and runs it the next day with zero context, no progression, and no understanding of what it’s actually training.

📌 All these cones and ladders look good on video, but if it’s not improving an athlete’s deceleration, reacceleration, or game-speed movement. It’s a waste of time.

🚩 3. Fancy footwork drills with no real purpose. If the drill doesn’t translate to the field or court — why are we doing it?

📌 Hard ≠ Smart. We’re training ATHLETES, not bodybuilders. Performance training should be structured to improve movement, mechanics, and power — not just burn kids out for clout.

🚩 2. “The workout was hard, so it must be good.” Wrong. Just pushing sleds, doing 100 walking lunges down and back, or leaving kids gassed doesn’t make it quality.

But let’s be clear: I’m not out here coaching D-line when I never played it, or claiming I’m a basketball coach or soccer coach when I’ve never stepped on that court or field

🔥 #FactsFriday 🔥 Let’s talk about some RED FLAGS 🚩 in performance coaching that parents and athletes need to stop ignoring: 🚩 1. “I train every sport” — but now he’s coaching positions he never played. Yes, athletes from every sport need performance training — that’s facts.

🚀 If your goal (or your child’s) is to be the 1% — year-round training is non-negotiable. 📲 DM me “IN-SEASON” and I’ll show you how it’s done. 👕 And if you really believe you’re different… “I’m Him. Not Them.” 🛒 Grab the shirt → https://t.co/fDYo3d39Gq → Shop

A real performance coach programs year-round. It’s not about training harder — it’s about training SMARTER. 📈 In-season. Off-season. Pre-season. Always.

If your coach tells you to stop training completely for 3–4 months… That’s not protecting you. That’s stalling your development.

“But will training make me tired during the season?” Only if your coach doesn’t know what they’re doing. ✅ Smart coaches program in-season to:     •    Maintain power     •    Keep strength     •    Prevent injury     •    Improve movement quality
