If you only knew what this amazing woman has meant to my life.. happy 96th (yes 96!!) birthday to the best grandmother / great grandmother ever! Such a blessing to be able to fly to Ohio and surprise her on her big day! 😌❤️
If you’re a grown man on Twitter, calling high school boys thugs… I have some serious questions about you. I get your frustrated and embarrassed, but come on… Be better.

Before one becomes a champion, they must think speak & act as champions do! Championships aren’t won in a game rather they’re won in the small moments of day to day life.. choose to be GREAT at everything you do..

Beautiful sunrise over Frost Field at Bartow Memorial Stadium this morning! New day brings new opportunities, and endless possibilities! Let’s make it a great one!
“This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it”
Players, please make sure you don’t play around with scholarship offers! I know some young men who waited for a “better opportunity” & lost the ones they had! And coaches, please give these young men good advice! Don’t tell them what they want to hear. Tell them the truth 💯
When your up everybody wants to see you down! No surprise to this! Winners focus on the task at hand and getting the job done!!!

Happy four years to the love of my life, my wife and best friend.. there have been 1,460 sunsets since our wedding day and I can say, just like you and just like our marriage, each one gets more and more beautiful every day. Here’s to a million more sunsets with you my love 🌅 ❤️
Hating is so foreign to me.. I want everyone to win, everyone to succeed everyone to eat. Nothing but love. Some of y’all really choose misery cause in the end this is all temporary. Your character will outlast your accomplishments make sure you can live with that. 🙏 💯
Fun fact:
@BartowFb
is one of the only schools in Polk County with multiple football state championships. 15 NFL players and one of 2 schools with an NFL HOF…Very rich tradition over here!! And don’t even get me started on the community support! Unlike anything

Very disappointing loss tonight. The district championship will now be decided by who’s state ranking is highest at the end of the regular season (between Bartow, Winter Haven and Haines City).
We will be back to work Monday ready to get back on track!
Thank you, Lord, it’s finally here!! So thankful to have found a home and a community that loves and supports like no other! Our guys have worked hard.. now it’s time for them to take the field and make you all incredibly proud. One town one team… GO JACKETS!!

In life there are ALWAYS (Win Lose or Draw) people who are going to critique and criticize you.. your job is to control what you can control.. get better where you need to get better.. & keep growing to become the best version of yourself. Don’t get caught up in the noise

D1 is a blessing! But guess what.. so is D2, D3, NAIA, JUCO, Post Grad! Every opportunity is a blessing and a gift from God! Remember there is always someone who would love to be in your shoes! What ever God gives you go dominate and give it back to him 10 x!

This is what you train for.. all the hard work, pushing through when you don’t think you can.. when the game is on the line who is going to have that extra in the tank to get the job done… incredible effort by our young men last night finding a way to get it done!!

Man, what a way for our seniors to go out at home with their first ever win over a Division I program! All glory be to God these young men are getting better and better every week on the field as well as their character. Couldn’t be more proud!

Control what you can control. Two things determine your success.. 1. The time your willing the put in. 2. The work your willing to do to get yourself where you want to go. Your success will mirror your level of time committed and work put in!

, Love these young men! Proud of my team and the way they fought hard.. first team to lead lake wales this year and a quarter away from snapping a 25 game win streak for them. Give them credit they are a great team. We will find out about playoffs Sunday!
As I held my daughter close to me I had a thought, she has no idea how much I love her, it is literally impossible for her to comprehend this.. then God said to me, in this same way I love you, far beyond what you can understand or can imagine.
