HS athletes:
Summer workouts are less than 10% of your time. If you cannot carve out 4-7% of your week to train with your teammates & coaches then you are not a serious athlete. There is plenty of time left to work, swim, fish, sleep, etc. Get to workouts & get better!!
Great time at the @UofR_Football camp, competed among some of the best, and learned a lot from some of the best coaches around. Thank you again @LOGGER_LBCOACH, @allashford1@CoachGrigs619 for the great conversations and the opportunity to reconnect. STILL GRINDING!
Great day competing at @UofR_Football Ivy League camp, and had an awesome time connecting with @CoachGrigs619 and @allashford1 Appreciate the great conversations and coaching today.
If your 16 YO athlete isn’t willing to wake up 15-min earlier to grab water, some protein and carbs for breakfast let alone put together some backpack snacks for their day they really don’t care about getting stronger or improving as an athlete.
You can’t earn that D1 scholarship with an attitude consistent with Intramural sports.
Seriously, if you have an almost 18 YO athlete under your roof who has a phone, spends > 4 hours/day social media, goes to specialized training, plays multiple sports that you spend thousands of dollars on annually they should absolutely be able to prioritize their nutrition and sleep.
Don’t be your kid’s friend, be their parent. Encourage them to pack snacks, build a routine that is centered around supporting the life they want to live.
Kids need routine, structure, discipline, and guidance. They will be glad they had a parent who encouraged them to eat well and recover smart.
There’s a lot of hard working athletes out there hungry to get better and will easily outperform those who have poor habits. Poor habits like staying up late, on phones for hours a day, skipping meals, drinking energy drinks, eating candy and chips as meals, and flat out showing up to training under-fueled giving 50% effort.
If you want your kid to be strong and successful, ask them to put down the phone. Help them plan out their meals and snacks for games and training, get to bed early and pack their water bottle. These are simple and basic things for GOOD health.
If you really want to be great you need to do the basics. If you can’t do the basics you really don’t care about being great.
No one accidentally shows up to the championship game or succeeds in life by accident. Discipline, structure, and life skills need to be taught early on in life! Too many kids lack the means to succeed.
It’s 2025 and it’s time to get these student athletes dialed! 📞

Too many times people don’t embrace the hard times and take the easy path that may have a few speed bumps. Face the hard times head on and keep getting better
Student-athletes who skip class, hide in the weight room, disrespect teachers, and make excuses are bad teammates. How you do one thing, is how you’ll do everything. You can’t flip the switch. Being a winner is about being consistently good.

"When you skip a few reps or cut a corner, you aren't only tricking your coach - you're cheating your teammates and yourself." @AllistairMcCaw
This space is not a matter of feet or inches. It's a matter of discipline, integrity, focus, effort, respect, and execution.
Players who show up to offseason workouts only when they “feel like it”, are more often than not, the same players who are most likely to get reps when their coaches “feel” like putting them in!
