Kids don't get confident from being told they're great. They get confident from doing hard things and finding out they can.

Our scars from life are evidence that healing is possible. Never be ashamed of them. Let those scars point others to the Healer.

When we bring it to Him -
There is beauty in our struggle.
There is beauty in our brokenness.
There is beauty in where He will take you.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Curt Cignetti shares a universal truth about habits and consequences.

"In life - you got freedom of choice, but not freedom of consequence."

"First you form your habits, then your habits form you."

Every choice and action you take compounds. The small decisions you make daily - preparation, work ethic, and how you respond - those become your habits.

And over time, those habits become your identity.

You're free to choose. But the consequences of those choices aren't optional.

Your habits are shaping who you become.

There are always things to complain about, if you look for them.

There are always things to be grateful for, if you look for them.

You get what you look for.
You choose what you look for.

Regardless, God is good.

HEARTWARMING: #Rams star quarterback Matthew Stafford’s four young daughters left him a beautiful video informing him that he was the #NFL MVP.

This is extremely special, Matthew was emotional watching this video.

A quick clip of Kliff Kingsbury coaching Jayden Daniels back when Daniels was working to return from his dislocated elbow.

I like how short and simple Kliff's playcalls are: "Flip, heavy, scissors."

In any suffering or trails I have faced, after it, I realized I literally experienced a strength that isn't my own. Don't get me wrong, I felt the wear and tear, but through it, I had joy. I had peace. It's Gods strength that carried me through. Never my own.

This is 54 seconds of coaching gospel. If you want to be an elite coach, this is a must listen.

[Andrew Caraway @Caraway6]

People keep asking why college offers are slow right now. Here’s the reality, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it.

As of today (the final day to enter the Transfer Portal):

• 10,853 football players have entered the portal
• 6,715 are still actively looking for a home
• 3,229 have signed
• 576 have withdrawn
• 333 have matriculated

Breakdown by level:
• FBS: 3,910 entered (1,633 still active)
• FCS: 2,735 entered (1,789 still active)
• DII: 2,779 entered (1,993 still active)
• DIII: 1,340 entered (1,251 still active)

That’s thousands of players still unplaced across every level of college football.

Now add what no one wants to talk about:

• Lawyers are suing the NCAA for extended eligibility for current players
• Those lawsuits are freezing roster spots that would normally open
• Division II has voted to allow 5 years of competition instead of 4, meaning fewer scholarships and roster spots available moving forward

What does this mean in real terms?

• Older players are staying longer
• Coaches are holding scholarships
• Roster math is completely unsettled
• Decisions are being delayed because eligibility rules are changing in real time

It’s an overloaded system where timing, legal uncertainty, and roster limits are colliding all at once.

If recruiting feels quiet, stalled, or frustrating, this is why. Stay patient and keep your grades up!
