Eh, looks like me when my kids leave toys down and I step on them. I rant, they take it, and then they do it again. That’s because emotional me isn’t an effective communicator. Let’s not pretend this is what “coaching” is. It happens, get emotional, but this isn’t the standard.
I need ALL ATHLETES to watch these two professionals playing at the highest level of their sport! Look at the eye contact, body language, humility, respect, and willingness to learn as their coach passionately holds them accountable for their mistakes. Be coachable!
A sloppy squat accomplishes two things. First, feeds ego. Two, sets stage for injury. And neither will make you a better player. Just focus on doing things the right way, because it will carryover to the field.

You know what, screw it, THIS KID IS HAVING FUN! The “old school” ain’t EVER coming back. It’s a new game being played by new kids, and it looks FUN! Kids, go get ALL this game can offer you. Enjoy EVERY minute of it. Don’t let miserable & unhappy people “mess with you drip.”😎
Nice work
@DennisKelly67
stepping up to the challenge. Lesson for younger players, when you line up against great players, be physical. Don’t let the last name beat you. Myles had his moments, but so did 71. That’s football...That’s LIFE.
#ELITEMindset
I love this, but it's scary to see. DL has evolved to the point where players can TEACH. They are free thinkers. Some OL coaches still forcing nonsensical ideals onto players because it has to be done "my way." Players never LEARN, just robots.
Young players wanting to get “noticed” - Don’t pay for what you can do yourself. Take this step-by-step recipe... College coaches will appreciate this. Remember, they’re looking for talent, but NEED the right people.

Ehhhh, calling kids "soft" is a bit far. Some kids don't emotionally mature as fast as their bodies physically do. They can't help that. The problems are the expectations ADULTS place on KIDS. 6-5 230 @ 16 is still a child, not a man.
Prospect is 6-5 230lbs, runs like the wind. He knows he has D1 traits. What he does not know is that he is "soft". Looks like Superman and plays like Clark Kent. Won't be physical, won't hit anyone, and rarely hustles. There are like a half dozen of these kids in each class.

This is maybe 5yrs in jail, if you decide to drop the guy buying Cheerios in aisle 5. But on the field, it gets you about 15 rewinds in film session. Bottom line, enjoy the game while you can. Play hard. Play smart. Coach hard. Coach smart. We have a great game, let’s keep it. 🙌🏾
This is the Drive-Catch Method™️. It’s NOT a “kick-slide”. ALL of the movement begins with the left leg. The right leg is only along for the ride, until it goes to work in the “catch phase.” This movement principle is basic biomechanics.
It's the time of year where the run game isn't where it needs to be, often due to OL getting turned on combo blocks as they work up to 2nd level. Give this drill a try... it may get your run game on the right track (pun intended 😬)

Football isn't a career, it's an opportunity. It doesn't matter how much money a player makes or the levels of success they achieve, this game is going to leave u, and u won't be ready for it. The only thing u can do, is to enjoy it & maximize the opportunity while it's here
#OLP
“Because it makes them tough.”🙄 - The approach of, “Well I did it when I played” is foolish. Some ppl grew up in houses with lead paint, would you want your kids exposed to it, today? VERY FEW ppl qualified to “teach toughness” and most certainly aren’t coaching football
#BeReal
Was asked by a college football player how to prep for his FB “Conditioning Test”. 16x 110y, 45 sec rest. Each must be in 16 seconds. What is wrong with FB coaches? Do they want their players to train like half-milers all summer? Why give an aerobic test for an anaerobic sport?
38yrs old, 2nd rd pick, 10yrs NFL as DT...338lbs and STILL doing ridiculous stuff like this. Sometimes people forget that NFL athletes are rare people, thus will set standards or build coaching methods for young athletes based on these specimens. They’re exceptions, not the rule.
We can’t keep saying, “we need HS S&C coaches”, when this same nonsense happens in elite college programs with highly “qualified” coaches. Maybe the culture needs to shift? Meeting qualification standards doesn’t make you qualified for a job, especially when working with kids...
Hopefully this will help your players learn how to sustain their position in the run game. Hand placement is key, but ACTIVE HANDS & ELBOWS are needed. Nothing fancy needed, just a towel...

Young players: Don’t believe all of what people say about you. This game builds transferable tools that will carry you well beyond the football field. It prepares you for LIFE.

We can’t become desensitized to our kids being put in harms way. This isn’t funny... it’s not OK... it’s not “tough”... EVERY coach/athlete/parent that follows this page should RT with a demand for the video to be removed.
@TheFBCentral
you’re part of the problem...

Congrats to all of the new D1 signees. But don't get comfortable, because there's a kid like Alex Cappa out there that's working his a** off. Remember, it's not about where you start...

We don’t care what “technique” a coach believes in. If an athlete understands how to apply movement principles, he/she can adapt to any “technique”. Proud of the mental and physical growth

You’re more likely to fulfill your athletic potential, if you can do pull-ups. Give this a try, so you can begin maximizing your athletic ability.

Do right by the young man and take the video down. It’s not fair for him to have so much negative attention for something that’s beyond his years. There’s a lot of really good here by the player, but the tweet isn’t framed correctly. Someone be the adult

AND it's awesome to see a young and proven player looking to learn. I've seen some awful OL walk around with Gucci books bags like they were 10x All-Pro and act like they knew it ALL... 🙄😂
If your standing overhead press is turning into standing incline bench... lower the weight and do it correctly. You'll have more carryover to the field and you won't end up needing a back brace when you're 25..🤦🏾♂️

Every interior HS OL should get reps at both OT spots. This will challenge them to adjust to space, thus tighten up their mechanics on the inside. It doesn’t matter if they don’t “look” like OT’s, they’re still FB players... let them play and learn.

The toughest people in the room are the ones with the least amount to say..... So, we know why most DL are the LOUDEST people in the locker room. 🤔

If your stance doesn’t place you in a position of stability and strength BEFORE the ball is snapped... where do you get it from later? The answer is, you don’t. The stance is a weapon when used correctly.

In light of some HS Programs struggling to figure out an effective/safe process for teaching and implementation of Oly Lifts, we've made Level 1 of our 5 Week System FREE. Be sure to share with other coaches.

Hear from
@SDCoyotesFB
S&C coach, Clete McLeod, on the programs approach to player development. Young recruits, THIS is what you need to hear. The Academic support and S&C program should be key drivers in your your college choices.

Seeing an athlete "get it" is almost more of a rush than any tunnel I've ever run out of as a player. Every former player needs that "replacement" in their lives.

Now that Senior Bowl is over, all of the players "Draft Experts" have been slobbering over all week because they PLAYED FOOTBALL well, will be talkin shat about the same player that goes to combine and doesn't have 40" vertical 🙄🤦🏾♂️
He's actually teaching a learned skill. "Reps" don't equate to skill acquisition. Hell, I learned something in that 51 seconds. Great verbal & visual cues. Now, the few ensuing reps may be better, instead of a bunch of bad reps.
