I want to give a HUGE thank you to @CoachDanLanning and @OregonFootball for having me in to share my message with the team. Also to @CoachMikeLBs for spending some time with me, and to @oozie_k for being an outstanding host for the day.
The tendency is to expect quick transformation where it must happen slowly over time and expect slow transformation where it could happen much quicker.
Which one are you?
Survivor: does just enough to get by
Contender: motivated by external factors only
Competitor: internally motivated to be his best regardless of the situation
Commanders: all the traits of a competitor-with one exception-he brings people with him.

This was one of the first things the Lions asked their 1st Round Pick Jahmyr Gibbs to do in his Combine Interview.

The Japanese American Football community lost a legend with the passing of Akira Furukawa. He was a visionary, leader and mentor to many coaches in Western Japan. He is also responsible for the Pacific Rim Bowl: the football series between Ashland High and the Japan All Stars.
35 years ago, Mr Akira Furukawa of Osaka and Coach Jim Nagel of Ashland High School (OR). Started something very unique and special. I'm glad to be a part of this incredible High School Football journey.
I would like to thank the members of the Pacific Rim Bowl committee in both Japan and Ashland for the honor of being inducted in the program's Hall of Fame. I'm looking forward to today's game in Kobe, Japan.
High school coaches often times are kids’ last chance to be held accountable & prepped for the real world
Often times talented kids are pushed through until high school with no accountability, no discipline, & even taken advantage of for wins
Our job is vital if done right
I've had the fortune to spend this week in Kobe, Japan with the Ashland High Football team participating in the Pacific Rim Bowl against the Japan All Stars. This is an unforgettable experience both teams will never forget.
Been back for a few days now. Feeling very grateful for the opportunity and experience gained at the Harrisburg Team Camp. Thanks to Coach Beach and the Eagle Football Community. Good luck to all the teams in attendance. #Kaizen#SwordsUp
Every 90mph arm had to throw 80mph first
Every 4.4 runner had to run a 4.8 first
Every 38in vertical jump started at well below 30in
Every 405 bencher had to do 1 plate at some point
Embrace the process & remember:
“Comparison is the thievery of joy.”
