The best leaders surround themselves with well-chosen companions who both support and challenge them. They courageously seek other leaders who exhibit LOYALTY. They seek those equal in strength and character, but different in giftedness, temperament, and skills.

Dear Parents,
You're right. Coaches do play favorites. They play the players that are committed & coachable. The players that are disciplined & dependable. The players that are resilient & respectful. The players that are tough & talented.

Me: "I deserve to play."
We: "I have to earn my role."
Me: "They don't like me."
We: "I have to earn their trust."
Me: "I want to quit."
We: "We're in this together."
Me: "They won't even know."
We: "That's not how we do things here."
Me gets you beat. We gets you far.
A school that has been in the state title game 10 times, has 2 hall of famers, & multiple All-Stars in recent years. The ultimate sign of disrespect is to refer to us as “Tigers”! Thank You AHSAA for caring about your “Member Schools!”

it is great song, plus it will be on my mind for the rest of the day.
In great programs, the pursuit is relentless. Everyone is committed.
In great programs, the relationships are real. Everyone is connected.
In great programs, the communication is honest. Everyone is coachable.
In great programs, the standards are high. Everyone is accountable.
To the opposing coach that decided to talk crap to one of players that during a football camp,
I keep receipts and remember that you come to REELTOWN this fall‼️Let’s Roll
The Association asks us to respect the officials/referees/umpires, but it is almost impossible to do so when
1. They ARE NOT CONSISTENT
2. They ARE NEVER “WRONG” 🙄
3. THEY DO NOT KNOW THE RULES!
It’s very infuriating when you coach kids the right way, & the officials are bad!
You see the big 6’1” 270lb Offensive Tackle sprinting to block the guy 35 yards down the field… He didn’t make the All-State team. The guy he is chasing did.

PARENTS,
Our standards apply to everyone involved with our program. Please take a moment to reflect. Are you an energy giver or taker? Are you a supporter or a detractor? Are you respectful? Are you a team player? Are you proud of your behavior in the stands?
Sincerely,
COACH
The players at T.R. Miller will never forget how they had a win completely taken away from them last night! The officiating crew will not be held accountable because it will somehow be turned into an email how “officials make decisions based on what they see and the rules”

Team-first plays for their teammates.
Me-first plays for themselves.
Team-first embraces the process.
Me-first complains about their role.
Team-first sacrifices for success.
Me-first stresses over their stats.
Team-first brings positive energy.
Me-first brings their problems.

Coaching is a brotherhood! We spend more time together than we do with our own families. “Sign Stealing” is something everyone does from youth league to the NFL. His brother/head coach who took a chance on him is the target of a pointless investigation. You will never understand
Today we celebrate a member of the first football team at Huntingdon and the now head coach of Reeltown HS! Coach Johnson develops young men athletically and spiritually, and we are extremely proud of the difference he makes in their lives. Great job, Coach Johnson!

I celebrated more than he did when he hit his first home run; I am honored to know and grow up with such an amazing individual. Thank you

Dear Players,
If you have to be told to compete, that's a problem. If you have to be motivated to go hard, that's a problem. If you have to be pushed to put in extra work, that's a problem. If you have to be watched to do the right thing, that's a problem.

Tough day for our family. We tragically lost a player, teammate, friend, brother and son. We are heart broken and in disbelief. Continue to pray for his family as they seek Peace and Comfort. We will forever remember and love you 23!

A5. Two things:
1. Support your players in their other sports, and get to know their interests off the field!
2. Connect with other coaches as much as possible! Listen closely for new ideas that may positively impact your program on and off the field!
#ALFBChat
Dear Coaches,
If you talk more about the game than about life, you're doing it wrong. If you care more about scouting reports than report cards, you're doing it wrong. If you focus more on player development than person development, you're doing it wrong.
Sincerely,
Do It Right

“Horseshoe Bend proved last year that being the runner up out of Area 8 may not be such a bad thing, as it advanced to state as the South Central Regional runner-up while Reeltown was sent packing.”
PLAYERS,
Want to make a strong impression? Want to earn respect? Want to expand your role? Arrive early. Prepare with purpose. Make eye contact. Hustle. Apply coaching points. Compete. Play with heart. Put in extra work. Do it again the next day.
Sincerely,

In my opinion, posting football season predictions in early April is crazy…actually it’s very futile. Especially when the HS transfer portal is still open 😂

I developed a drill called “Hot Box” 😂 that helped my guys improve combo blocks, blocking outside zone, and etc. I don’t have film of it, but we had 3 1st year O-Line starters and 3 sophomore TEs that I needed to develop faster and they did this drill daily!

Reeltown Softball will travel up Highway 49 today to face their rival the Dadeville Tigers. The Rebels plan to end their 2-game losing streak while the Tigers look for the upset at home. The game’s start time is 4:30 with a JV game to follow. It should be a classic!!!
