Thank you Lord for allowing me to have a great high school football career, it was a great 5 years. A big thank you to my coaches @Coach416K & @CoachT_ColtsFB for the guidance and knowledge you’ve given me on and off the field. Here is my varsity tape https://t.co/qfxPmpOgv5
When things go wrong for a Linebacker, it can usually be traced back to something basic.
-Bad eyes
-A false step
-Poor hand placement
Focus on the fundamentals. You'll make more plays.
I'm 54.
I wasted 24 years learning this the hard way. But I'll teach you in 5 minutes.
If you're soft, stop reading now.
Here are 24 uncomfortable truths I wish I knew earlier:
Give me a 7-3 coach who respects the game, other coaches and their programs, plays the kids who have worked and dreamed for playing for their hometown, and develops what he has walking his hallways over a 15-0 thief any day of the week and twice on Friday night!
I played Linebacker back in the day.
If you’re still playing, hear this:
It goes by fast.
And football isn’t like other sports. There are no casual pickup games of tackle football. Once it’s over, it’s OVER.
Enjoy every minute.
Thank you God for allowing me to play another season of football🙏🏽

Every Linebacker wants to make plays.
Not every Linebacker wants to:
-Watch extra film
-Master the entire playbook
-Perfect their craft after practice
Elite Linebackers put in the work.

Great season Julian, I’m proud of how you carried yourself as a team captain this season.
I’ve always been impressed with your commitment and character from Day 1 with us.
You’ve come a long way over 4 years.
You earned your place as a starter this year and performed above and beyond.
Hoping the next step in this journey will be a great one!
Team Ontario opens the scoring with a huge forced fumble in Team Saskatchewan territory!
Massimo Ferrone-Byrd (21) punches the ball in on the next play to take a 7-0 lead.
