Head Football Strength & Conditioning Coach - Rice University
Joined October 2013
If your coach gets mad at you for missing a meeting, skipping class or being disrespectful you should be Thankful. Don’t take the coach that truly cares about you for granted because one day he won’t be around. And all that time you were annoyed, he was just saying he Loved You.

I’ve been informed that I won’t be retained at GT. I would like to say thank you to all the players I had the blessing to coach over the last 4 years. I’ll sleep good at night knowing I couldn’t have given more of my heart or worked harder to help. Love you guys.

Guys that Skip reps, Miss times, Don’t touch the line and can’t look up when a coach is talking are the same guys that quit at the first sign of Adversity.

Skipping reps when Coach isn’t looking has a direct correlation to partying after a loss.

This should be on every teach tape on never giving up. Even if you have a 1% chance to make the play, never give up. Proud of you @nate_mccollum. Truly incredible you caused a touchback.

1 scratch on a new car will prevent you from buying it. 1 crack in a ship can sink the whole thing. Just like 1 guy on your team can destroy the entire culture if you don’t uphold your standards.

Since I’ve been a Head Strength Coach, I’ve always given a message of the day. Whether the camera was there or not. The goal has always been to impact the players beyond the field. But Seeing this video get over 1 million views has been wild. Thankful to coach this team.

“Man, Why’s coach always on me about going to class, being early to meetings and doing more than what’s required of me?” Because Your Coach Loves You. Don’t take it for granted when someone genuinely has your best interest at heart, because there’s not many out there.

3 years ago, I watched my son unlock the secret to success in life. Struggled for months. Never got frustrated or quit. Just a heart full of resilience & determination. Then 1 day, experienced his earned breakthrough. Happy 8th Birthday Buddy! Love You!

Coaches that Invest in their players lives don’t have a finish line. When your players graduate & your time is “done” with them, a true coach knows that the relationship has just started. It doesn’t matter if you coached a player for 1 or 4 years. It’s for life now. Invest.

Just because you didn’t make the Travel Squad or the 53 man roster doesn’t mean you’ve failed. Stop putting periods in your life where God only has a comma, Hard Work Pays Off but no one tells you when. Keep Working.

People buy 10 speed bikes and never go past gear 4. People pay for over 100 channels a month and only watch 5. Just like people who are qualified to do so much with their life settle and blend into average.

We’ve been through a lot this week as a program. These kids never stopped fighting. They never stopped working. When they easily could’ve shut it down, they stepped up to the challenge. Truly thankful to be a part of this gritty win. @GeorgiaTechFB.

Times like this give you the ultimate opportunity to make excuses. It also gives you the ultimate opportunity to Find a Way. “Coach I didn’t have a gym.” . Last time I checked, the street was waiting to be ran on & the ground was waiting for push-ups. Find a Way.

What’s with all the hard workouts coach? One day you won’t have a job and still have to feed your family. One day you’ll be told you’re not good enough. One day your faith will be tested. Life is hard, don’t flinch and push through. That’s why you do all the hard workouts.

Stop worrying about what everyone thinks of you. People are going to judge you regardless. The easiest thing to do is talk about someone else because it’s the weakest thing to do. Just remember, Haters will see you walk on water and say it’s because you can’t swim.

In 2019 we had 6 guys able to bench press 225x20+ reps. Today we had 40. The best part is, it was all for a great cause. Every rep raised money for children with rare diseases. Thank you to all that donated! @GeorgiaTechFB .

Very few people love the challenge of building something special. They’d rather jump on a finished product for status. NEWS FLASH: The finished product is finished, it doesn’t need you. Don’t waste your God given talents on something that doesn’t need you. Make your own history.

I’ve been a part of this game my whole life. I’ve experienced a lifetime of memories because of it. But watching my son play his first game and my daughter cheer for him was something I’ve never felt. Truly thankful to see it. Sometimes reality is better than the dream.

It’s hard to understand people that say that want to win but then watch their teammates take shortcuts and never say anything. If you’re afraid to hurt someone’s feelings in the moment, your whole teams feelings will be hurt at the end of the season. Be Hurtful to Be Helpful.

Everyone wants to be that 1%, but nobody wants to do what 99% of people don’t do. Everyone prays for big things, but don’t match their work ethic. So before you want to be that 1% at the top, don’t forget about the work it takes at the bottom to make that 1% even possible.

Faith ✅. Don’t forget about God after you Get what you prayed for. And don’t get frustrated when your prayers don’t get answered. Think of all the countless blessings you have in your life without asking. Keep the Faith. The greatest blessings come wrapped in difficulties.
