Love this!!! The one in Crowley ISD is the other one!✅

Times are certainly changing for the better. Here is the new indoor facility in Longview, Tx.

There will now be two indoor facilities in Texas that are owned by the city and not affiliated with a university.

All the sports technology, fancy equipment, cool swag, fueling station, and facilities don't bring forth a winning culture or improve athletes' performances.

It is people and trusting relationships. Support from administrative staff and leadership.

I did a little research

Some of these “recruiting sites” are charging anywhere from $300 to $3000) per year pending on the “service” they offer.

Do not waste your money.

1. Your performances and your grades will get attention

2. Be realistic about where your market value is or isn’t when it comes to your performances and grades.

3. Do your research. Look at what is making conference finals and scoring points. The bigger the profile the school has, look at the ncaa meet.

4. Do not assume anything. Just because a school doesn’t have a finalist doesn’t mean they are investing in that event or the people in that event.

5. T&F is a production game not just a potential game. Everyone has potential. Not everyone will do what it takes to produce.

6. It doesn’t matter how these sites present your videos and profiles, if your performances can’t help that school you’ve targeted, the probability is low they will invest in you. If your grades are bad, the probability drops lower.

7. Everything these sites say they do, you can do on your phone. You can send that same video you sent to the “service” to coaches along with your transcripts and your profile on https://t.co/puW0jiXxXP or https://t.co/8FZJmqoXgu

8. Email an AD or president is not going to get you an athletic scholarship if your performances/grades don’t help the program in the postseason (or at least within reason). Those entities are just going to send it to the HC for evaluation.

8. In most cases, no response is your answer about that school. You want attention, level up and make sure your grades are in order.

9. Some schools are still using standardized tests for academic aid. Coaches do not have any influence on money they don’t control.

10. I’ll say it again. T&F is NOT a back door to Football. I don’t know any T&F coach that is going to invest $$$ into an athlete that will not be at practice all fall, run indoors, disappear for spring ball, and come back the last few weeks of outdoor. You better be super elite for that conference for that to happen

11. Just like you don’t need to waste money on recruiting sites, DO NOT LISTEN TO THE STREET TEAM. Anyone promising your child or you a scholarship that is not within the coaching staff of that program, can not help you or represent any decisions made by the head coach. Go to the source.

12. Coaches are not trying to disrespect you. We are in the most honest sport. You may not like our delivery of the truth, but we will tell you the truth…in most cases. If your performances can help or at least within reason, you may have an opportunity.

The people that did get scholarships could have gotten them at those schools by doing the following:

Go to https://t.co/FvgAeD9D8T Look at the lists, look at the conference/national championship results, send updated transcripts, contact info, meet results, and meet videos to head coaches and assistant coaches. All that can be done on your phone or laptop for FAR less (also known as Free) than these sites are offering you.

Don’t try to butter us up, we read right past that yada yada. Get to the meat of it all. Ask good questions.

And for the Love of God

Don’t demand anything.

That’s all I have for you today. I just don’t want to see you get scammed.

Close to two PRs today: 100m, 200m with times of 12.08 and 24.91

400m had a PR, but the timing system for a little ahead of itself so we will claim my hand-time as the new one, 55.26, for 2027 Senior, Izzy Ford!

[CoachChessna @CoachChessna]

@MikeCunningham We absolutely have and ran some of our best team times that way. However, due to the newer/younger makeup of my 2026 team, this year, we went with the verbal call method (just one less thing for the newer ladies to worry about!)🤷🏽‍♀️
