The reality of it is, it takes what it takes. Our sessions are never more than 90 minutes, 3x a week. If you are on vacation, enjoy it! But if you are in town, get your butt out of bed and get better- or get passed up by someone who is. Summer lifting isn’t what is preventing kids from being kids— the 3 day tournaments over the weekends, every single weekend of summer is guilty of that one.

We FEED THE CATS and we play with 2 TEs on almost every snap...

There is so much misinformation out there that Feed the Cats (Sprint-Based) 🏈 teams only train and emphasize speed.

We have two SBF Clinics coming up in Texas and Georgia that can help ⤵️

They seemed to be pretty PHYSICAL and TOUGH last night without the HELL most coaches put their players through in the name of TOUGHNESS....

Great description of the mission mindset. (Burn your goals, go on a mission, surrender to the result.)

Just substitute “mission” for “dream”.

“Winning the gold medal is my goal, not my dream. My dream is about playing to win as often as possible with and against the best women basketball players in the world. Winning the gold medal as a goal gives me some direction, but my dream is something I need to live every day. And I’m doing that each time I play to win… When I’m playing to win, that’s when I feel resonance. If I win, that’s great. I want to win, and having the gold medal as my goal forces me to play to win. But what I love to do, what my dream is, is to play to win.”

Interesting:

The Packers moved the ball 57 yards on 8 plays on their first drive.

Lions defensive star Aidan Hutchinson left the game for two plays, getting some much-needed recovery.

He returned for play #11.

Traditional HS coaches want to play their key players every play. To do so, they mindlessly “condition” them to have the stamina to play every play, not realizing they are DETRAINING speed and explosiveness.

It’s better to have maximal outputs for 80% of the game than 60% outputs for the entire game.

Pitchers are a good case in point. Better to throw 100 mph for five innings, than to throw 80 mph for 9 innings.

High Outputs > Endurance

Dear young athletes- keep this photo saved to your phone and show the next person who says you have to focus on one sport in HS.

The amount of kids I’ve heard say “I can’t risk getting hurt” or “my coach won’t let me” drives me crazy.

You get one shot to be a HS athlete.

🚨LISTEN🚨

If someone says “track and field isn’t a sport” or “track requires no skill”…

9 out of 10 times they tried it once and got humbled.

They got smoked in the 100m or couldn’t jump like they thought.

The sport requires skill…

You just don’t have it 🤷🏿‍♂️

The day after qualifying for the 2025 World Championships and running 1:42 for 800m as a high schooler, Cooper Lutkenhaus showed up at his cross country team’s practice.

Youth sports are out of control.

Congratulations Justin!

Thanks to the Coaching staff At New England College, I have been honored to receive an Offer! Beyond grateful!!!!

[Mike Moschella @CoachMoschella]

Justin had an outstanding senior season! Justin made plays and rarely had the luxury of being solo blocked, freeing up his teammates to make plays as well. On both sides of the ball he was a dominant force. Looking forward to seeing how the next chapter unfolds! @AthleticsPTHS

Probably the biggest play of last night’s 28-27 Pequannock victory over Madison was this 29 yard reception by @AngeloC_21 that put the ball at the Madison 3 in the waning moments of regulation in the N1,G2 playoffs. A clutch play to help send the game to OT.

[Mike Moschella @CoachMoschella]

Great news to wake up to! Congratulations to Angelo Cundiff on being voted the Morris/Sussex Player of the week! Well deserved after an impressive performance.
