Truth

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

2: Culture isn’t built in the big moments.

It’s built on the random Tuesday.

The way you start practice.
How you respond to bad body language.
What you tolerate and what you emphasize.

Culture = everyday habits, not hype speeches.

[Mike Hazel @CoachMikeHazel]

👏👏👏one more time for the people in the back.

Keep it simple. It’s good enough for the best team in the world. Should be good enough for everyone else.

🏈 You have to be good at football first.
Not “get strong and then get good.”
The Eagles were the best in the world at football last year. Now they’re getting stronger—again.

All that squat-hating in the comments? 🤡 Misses the point.

Weight room work = general prep. It builds the base, not the game.

Props to the Eagles S&C staff for keeping it simple:
✅ Heavy lifts
✅ VBT on the bar
✅ No fluff
