Football coaches for the most part have agreed that HS athletes are asked to do too much, and almost across the board have dialed back on summer demands. Now if the same parents that complain their kids are burned out would pull them from travel ball games, we might get somewhere

Feed the Cats=program changer; 8th grade lineman ran his first 10yd fly at 1.81 before Christmas and got some jabs from his teammates for it. Promised him he would be a 1.2 someday; walked by today after his PR of 1.42 and said “1.2 is coming!” #Confidence @TFConsortium @pntrack

“Kids today are just lazy” is such a crap statement. Kids today will work just as hard or harder than kids of the past. Connect with them, challenge them, make things competitive, and be able to tell them why it’s important/helping them and they will commit

How awesome is it to get 10yd flys in during the first week in November in Indiana? Jace G goes .94 (21.6mph), only to be outdone by teammate @JettGoldsberry later at .89 (22.98mph). A little breeze (7-10mph) at our backs didn’t hurt! Overspeed training is fun @pntrack

Had a non-athlete senior thank me this morning for getting him started in the weight room a couple years ago; he’s lost 25 lbs and is down a couple sizes in his clothes. “I feel happy about my body”. It’s not always about the ones we see out on the field/court #MakeADifference

Down 20lbs since the end of June. Water, extended cardio, avoiding bread, eating veggies as snacks, and no Mt Dews. Haven’t felt this good in a while. Just in time for the copious amounts of coffee, Mt Dew, pizza/breakfast pizza, team meals, and unrelenting stress to return 😂🏈
