PREACH! At 32, and my 12th season coaching, I’ve revamped my technique and mindset so many times. If you refuse to learn new techniques, if you use old verbiage like “lead with the screws” or “get your head across” and if you ridicule other coaches that learn... hang it up.
Hey
@JBPritzker
, You claim to base your decisions on science. There is STRONG evidence to show that kids can play football safely and effectively. Yet, here you are robbing kids of memories and their future. In the surrounding states there has been little to no spread. Kids 1/
Please welcome Knox Scott Sabo to the world! In true Sabo fashion he was born on St. Patrick’s Day 3/17 at 4:34 PM! He was 7 pounds 3 ounces. Mom was a trooper and was in labor for 36 hours! Both are doing extremely well! The F.I.S.T. Family continues to grow!

Can we get away from the stigma that linemen are supposed to be fat, unathletic, and dumb? I see it all too much in movies and TV. Linemen are often some of the smartest people omg he field, and in the last 20+ years have become freaksihly athletic. Let’s change the culture.

I yell and get on my kids. But I don’t call the MFers, tell them that I’m their “new Hitler”, or curse at them. It’s unacceptable behavior for a man that’s supposed to be a role model and a professional
Top 10 things coaches need to do:
10. Evolve with technique

4. Relate to your players
3. Build Relationships
2. Show empathy
1. Mold great men

That’s the response you came up with? “It’s been done for ages”? I played for 13 years, through college, and stopped 10 years ago. The new technique that has come

since I stopped playing is much safer it’s unreal. Your response tells me that you should stop coaching.
Hearing the news about

today is gut wrenching. If you are struggling PLEASE reach out to someone that can help. We’ll listen. We don’t cere if we work with you or not. We will listen to every single one of you that need to talk, to vent, to ask questions... 1/
Focus on 3 things in order to be recruited.
1.) Grades- without them you won’t even get looked at.
2.) Film- does your film show 100% effort on every play, you executing your responsibility, & a relentless effort?
3.) GREAT off field character.

I’ve shown this drill before. However, this group is getting pretty advanced. I decided to make the defender set their angle.

@Ty_Witt2096
is working his initial drive, setting and owning his angle based off of defender’s alignment. He has a solid strike 1/2
Once again, we are truly humbled and blessed. Thank you all for trusting us with your development. It never ceases to amaze us right how dedicated you all are. Thank you got making this a possibility.

@ChicagoBears
this is legitimately embarrassing. If Nagy and Pace make through this week you should pack it in and sell the franchise because you clearly don’t care about football in Chicago.
Chicago OL/DL chose to get better today! This is what happens when you provide a service that translates directly to the field and you care about the athletes that choose to work with you!
Thank you ALL for trusting us. We wouldn’t be here without you! Great session today!
HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!
We’d like to introduce
@CoachShiffman
as our trainer in Wisconsin! Partnering with
@ETSCory
in Lake Geneva, Coach Shiffman will be running training sessions on Saturday mornings from 10-11 and 11-12!
We’re extremely excited to FINALLY get rolling with this!
Our hearts go out to Lonnie’s family and the Hitter Football community.
Lonnie’s heart and passion for life were unmatched. He always had a smile on and loved to make others smile. The world definitely lost a special person.
Please keep them all in your prayers and thoughts.
The world lost a special young man yesterday. Erik Lonvick was full of love & smiles ! Lonnie played with so much heart & passion. He made everyone he met smile! Please keep Lonnie,his family, & his friends in your thoughts and prayers. Rest Easy Lonnie , Love you Big Man 💚

Still an offer to play for the team. You’re a clown. I also played D3. Don’t bag on kids that are part of the 6% of high school football players going to the next level.
I played D3 so I can say this. You are not getting an offer to play D3. They are asking if you want to pay to play. Please stop all this- “I’m so blessed to receive my D3 offer”

Good luck to all of the athletes that chose to work with us this off-season! Your journey starts NOW!
Seniors, cherish every moment. These 9 weeks will be the fastest of your life.
I’ve seen entire demeanors of athletes change when confidence is instilled in them. A kid’s soft? Nah. Usually it’s a lack of confidence. This could mean in their technique, understanding of scheme, or themselves. Before you write a kid off dig down and find out why they struggle
Why would you even share this video? This is the type of stuff that is driving down participation in youth football and high school football. This is a pathetic display of sensationalism that will drive more away from our sport. Irresponsible coaches sharing dumb videos.
I will never make a kid “try out” to be a part of the
#FISTfamily
or make videos humiliating kids. All I care about is teaching techniques used on the field to help guys get better. I don’t care if you’re D1 or no stars, we’ll work with you. Get better with us.

No more hype tweets or trying to impress. We’re going to let our product speak for itself. If you want to see what we’re all about DM

to schedule DL sessions.
We’re looking forward to be the best OL/DL co. in the Midwest!
Be careful what companies you go with for training and recruiting. There are companies that will claim your success as their own, chafing clout by using your image and lending your success to themselves and not your work ethic. Choose wisely.
Holy hell. This is spot on. Don’t get me wrong, as a position trainer I want kids to come to me. But I’ve had more than a handful of kids “reclassify” because they didn’t take care of their academics and offers were pulled. My OL don’t start for me unless they are at a C+ avrg.

#FISTfootball
It’s awesome to be proud of the offers you receive!
But athletes need to remember that coaches work tirelessly to recruit them. I’ve heard numerous coaches say it’s disheartening to see a kid say “blessed to receive my 12th D1 offer!”
Tweet the offer, but not the number.
Alright, kind of a rant here. Am I the only OL coach in the history of ever that absolutely hates OL competitions? I see it as a way to develop bad habits, increase risk for injury, and put our athletes at risk. I let my guys do ONE a year to allow them to have a bit of fun. 1/
Extremely proud of my guy

It’s not all about barbecues, 3-day weekends, or trucks with flags. It’s about honoring the fallen that have given us the ability to enjoy those things. Before you start your barbecues, say thanks to those that served and paid the ultimate price.

We will never DM or text kids and ask them to switch trainers. If a kid comes to us it’s because they want to try us. If you’re DMing kids to try and get them to switch, and they’ve never talked to you.... you’re a clown. No other way to put it.

We are ridiculously proud of all of the athletes that work, have worked with, or reached out to us that signed their NLI today. Regardless of level, you are of the ELITE. Only 6% of high school football players play at the next level. You’re an absolute beast.

Easy to forget if u r not living through it . Please keep Aidan in ur thoughts . The road he will travel is long and difficult please don’t let this be a 15 second Twitter thing.
D1 FBS, D1 FCS, D2, D3, NAIA, JuCo... it doesn’t matter where you go. The important thing is that you leave with a degree. Associates, bachelors, masters, it doesn’t matter. Give your all in the classroom and on the field and you’ll end your 4 years without regrets.

Good luck to all of the athletes that chose to work with us this off-season! As you get rolling trust yourself and the work you put in! See you all at the

The game has changed along the LOS. Linemen need to be big, lean, and athletic. It’s more than eating a ton of food and being a big mauler, now. If you’re looking for training in the Chicago area, hit us up.
