I once had to kiss my one year old son goodbye before leaving to war. Not knowing if I'd ever see him again. I feel this with my soul. Praying for this man and all those in Ukraine.

Wondering in how many other states does the Player of the Year, in their largest classification, hold ZERO Division 1 offers?? Not even a PWO. It's insane to me. GPA well north of 4.0, runs low 10's in the 100m, State title game MVP. Someone will get a STEAL with @_JoshSnyder_

If your child participates in a sport and you are not a coach for that team, please let their coaches COACH them. Don't try to override them or undercut them. They need to learn certain lessons about their sport and life from other people than just you. It takes a village!

My father wasn't involved in my life as I grew up. I watched so many teammates and opponents get that love and support from their father. So much of my intent with coaching is to be that source of love and support. Trying to be who I needed when I was younger. #coaching

I don't think people truly understand how much detail and work goes into our offensive line play every year. Every step. Every angle. Every assignment. Every play. Is analyzed and critiqued. This group knows the standard set by those who came before them and strive for it.

Being relatable to your players is a big part of earning their trust. You don't have to compromise your morals, values or standards to be relatable. Remember what it was like being their age. People naturally connect better when they can relate to each other.

Our opponent last week had 4 young men who hold D1 offers out of their 5 starters on the OL. Our defensive line went toe to toe with them and won the battle more often than not. Huge testament to coach Scott Thomas ( @TheRebelWay1 ) who consistently develops great D-linmen.

I've spent 80+ hours a week on 7v7 stuff since Dec. Thought practice 2 hrs a week was going to be a small commitment. All the planning, emails, phone calls, order placing, travel, financials have been insane. But it's been one of the greatest coaching experiences I've ever had.

Truth is, no coach or system is flawless. No matter how successful you've been, sometimes you don't have the personnel to run the things you want to run. Sometimes you can call the wrong play at the wrong time. But you can always be a good person no matter the scenario.
