Recruits, our sport is one of the few sports where coaches can get immediate answers, and find out information about you super quick. Please do not make up marks, or times to get recruited by coaches. We do look these things up and will let you know about it.

Just hate hearing athletes say “Coach I want to be a conference/national champ.” And there’s always an excuse to why you missing practice lift study hall. Be a national champ in your life and in the classroom before you try and say you’ll do it on the track !

Listen, coaches I do need to tell y’all, any of my athletes you’re getting, i can’t say it enough, THEY ARE GREAT PEOPLE. Don’t sleep on them regardless where they sit in the roster. And the top people on the roster, pretty much everyone is trying to get them.

One thing that actually annoys me is when a recruit goes and adds me on twitter/x, and say they run track but I search the twitter page and there’s ZERO evidence of it. Remember, you gotta have some type of track stuff on your page if you want to be take. Serious in recruitment

I was taught by my coach to stop doing that jump before I ran. He had a good explanation too, he said that it would basically utilize my initial 'burst' that I would use to come out of the blocks, and I saw a difference immediately.

I know I’m not the only coach that gets frustrated at this, but when I get emails, or messages from recruits asking for scholarships. That there immediately takes you off my radar, if you were even on it. First thing you say to a coach should never be you asking for that, ever
