I just wanted to say thank you for inviting me to Junior Day at Monmouth. I really enjoyed visiting, meeting the staff, and learning more about the program. I appreciate the opportunity and the time you all put into making it a great experience. @CoachDennisLong@MUHawksFB
Recruits:
There are thousands and thousands of you guys. Forget offers, just getting your film evaluated is tough enough.
Coaches are going through hundreds of DMs, emails, texts, visits, practices, and have their own personal life to manage.
Start early and give yourself some time to find the right fit and build a relationship with coaches. If you’re not an impact guy and you wait until last minute, it’s rare they’ll get to you.
Dan Campbell said, "It starts over with the work. There is no complacency. There is no entitlement. We go back to work, and that is the focus. Because, if you don't work, it doesn't matter."
It means doing the work.
It means competing every day.
How The Best Compete:
1. They outwork you - It means consistently showing up, doing the work and committing to your craft. The best in their field value the importance of hard work, going the extra mile, and continuously improving your skills. This dedication sets them apart because they grow and improve consistently.
2. They outhustle you - Hustle beats talent when talent doesn’t hustle. It means having a relentless drive and a never-give-up attitude. It's about taking advantage of every opportunity, being proactive, and staying ahead of the competition. The best understand that effort and determination can outshine natural talent when combined with hard work.
3. They outlast you - It is the principle of perseverance and resilience. Outlasting the competition means maintaining resilience and endurance over the long haul. They stay persistent, overcome obstacles, and continue to move forward when faced with seatbacks. Their steadfast mindset ensures longevity while others are filled with doubt.
4. They out-focus you - It means prioritization and focusing on what matters. It's about prioritizing your efforts and channeling your energy into what truly matters. Competing means you have a clear vision of who you are, what you want, and how you are going to get there. This level of concentration ensures that you maximize your productivity and achieve your objectives.
5. They out-adapt you - It means continuously growing, improving, and adapting. They are masters of constantly reassessing where they are, changing, and reinventing themselves. It's about finding solutions, learning from failures, and continually adjusting your strategies to stay on course. This ability to pivot and persist is crucial for long-term success.
Competing every day is a mindset, not a moment.
It means do the work, give your all, and never settle.
The number of announcers that continue to criticize a DB for not “turning their head around and looking for the ball”, when they are not in phase with a receiver and are trying to get back in phase, is mind numbing. For the 10 millionth time…you can’t turn and look for the ball in that instance. Don’t believe me.. try running as fast as you can to catch up with someone running ahead of you, while at the same time turning your head backwards and looking behind you. It’s impossible. Thanks.
Jackson Memorial leads Central 32-7 at half. Jaguars D has forced 4 turnovers, two of which led directly to TDs. Eric Zebrowski has touched the ball five times and has 3 TDs and a combined 154 yards
Eric Zebrowski is going off. He takes a short pass from Dennis Caswell and takes off for a 68-yd TD, his third TD of the game, PAT no good, and Jackson is pouring it on up 32-7 on Central with 6:44 in the 2nd Q
Eric Zebrowski does it again, keeping it on a zone read and taking it 35 yards for his second TD, PAT blocked, to give Jackson Mem a 20-7 lead with 48 secs in the 1st Q
Eric Zebrowski keeps it on a zone read and bursts 34 yards for a TD to give Jackson Mem a 7-0 lead on Central with 9:00 in the 1st. Star RB Jonah Glenn is in the game for Jackson after missing 2 games with injury
The return of star tailback Jonah Glenn and a 3-TD night for explosive senior Eric Zebrowski had Jackson Memorial's offense looking the best it has all season in an emphatic 46-13 win over Central to reach the CJ Group 4 semis. Story for @JSSInsider https://t.co/bNfsJ6mDac
Dan Lanning said, "I've always felt your best teams are what I call player-led teams."
"The coaches aren't in the room, I think it speaks to the character of the players."
The best teams are player-led.
• They take ownership.
• They hold people accountable.
