Your body language doesn’t just affect you. It also affects your teammates. This is why positive body language is so important. It helps you and your entire team reach peak performance.

Stop running away from:

• tough coaches
• difficult teachers who challenge you
• a trainer that pushes you
• parents who don’t let you quit

RUN TOWARDS THEM.
The easy route is usually the one in which you don’t grow.

A championship culture isn’t about being nice or friendly (though chemistry and trust are critical). It’s about fighting for the highest good of each person in order to get each other to the next level.

Have fun, love each other, hold each other accountable, get better daily.

The objective of sports is to win, but the purpose of sports is to build character. All the athletic success in the world means nothing if it makes you worse as a person.

'You have to embrace hard.
Tough times make hard people.
Easy times make soft people.'

Champions don't back down from adversity – they embrace it, they conquer it, and they emerge stronger.

That's the path to greatness.

“Failure is easy. Success is way harder than managing failure. People believe when you do good, you have earned the right to do less. With success, you earn the right to do more.”

'Making it to the the top and making it at the top are two different things.
The chase must be as gratifying as the catch.
The elite find a way to fall in love with the journey.
'I don't just want the outcome. I want to work for it.'
Stop making excuses and start making history'

A long read, but worth it.

“Complacency takes over when a team’s ego and enthusiasm starts worrying about outcomes. We look for two things when we look for people to join our organization. Do they love football and do they embrace being part of something bigger than themselves? Are they selfless? Those two…

'Teams and individuals have to make a choice about great.
When you are good, you are working harder than most people.
But, then there is the next step.
The whole team has to make a choice - is great worth it?
Before winning, you have to sacrifice.' -Doc Rivers

“You can't win with talent alone. Everybody has to have a commitment to a standard of excellence and a commitment to do the right things on and off the field.”

Talent is not enough to guarantee success.
Talent might provide a foundation, but it's what you do with that talent…

Lineman Probs

Throwback to 2017. Some listened. Some didn’t. Some are still holding on to “the way it used to be.”

Many sites look at 'size' / 'offers' when ranking Offensive Linemen. Obviously, there is more to it than that.

So, I went back to my notes when working for an FBS program and asked FBS coaches what they look for in a HS Offensive Linemen in recruiting.

The results below:

A truly dominant football player and, at the same time, a genuinely good person who loves his teammates and coaches!

“If you’re an average player, you want to be left alone because you want to be able to slide by. If you’re a good player, you want to be coached. If you’re a great player, you want the coach to tell you the truth every day.'
