“Do not indulge in dreams of having what you have not, but reckon up the chief of the blessings you do possess, and then thankfully remember how you would crave for them if they were not yours.”
-Marcus Aurelius

Gratitude is the foundation of all abundance.

When we are grateful for what already exists in our lives…

We attract more to be grateful for.

Gratitude Mantra:

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am so, so Grateful.

I am so, so, so Appreciative.

Peace & Love everybody
Be Kind to one another
✊🏻❤️

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."
Buddha

It’s never not right now.

Meaning…

It is ALWAYS the present moment.

Right here. Right now.

Practice noticing when your thoughts drift back to the past or forward into the future.

You cannot change what’s happened in the past.

You cannot control something that hasn’t happened yet in the future.

You CAN choose your thoughts, words, and actions intentionally in the present…

To create the future you desire.

It’s never not right now.

Be. Here. Now.

Peace & Love everybody.
Be Kind to one another.

“Yet, life is beautiful, and I have so much to learn and enjoy. I have no space nor time for pessimism and hate.”
-Alice Herz-Sommer

Picture a battery…

Positive on one side.

Negative on the other.

Both exist within everything.

You have the Power to Choose…

Which you place your Focus on.

Every moment, of every day

Is an opportunity to practice.

Peace & Love everybody
Be Kind to one another

[Thomas Gutkes II @ThomasGutkes2nd]

@LIEliteFootball Thank you @LIElitefootball for the opportunity to be a part of this great program.

To be mentioned in the same sentence as @martinjames2027 is an honor.

“By repeatedly bringing your attention back to the breath each time it wanders off, concentration builds and deepens, much as muscles develop by repetitively lifting weights.”
-Jon Kabat Zinn

Presence & Focus are Superpowers…

Every moment of every day

Is an opportunity to practice.

Realize when your attention drifts.

Recenter by connecting to your breath.

Realize. Recenter.

Over & over.

Peace & Love everybody
Be Kind to one another

Another outstanding night at Gold Star Stadium.

Thank you to @Chaminade_FB for hosting Long Island Elite and our families this evening.

We appreciate the coaches who spent time on the field with our players and took the opportunity to meet the families who make this organization what it is.

Character recognizes character. Standards recognize standards. That’s why collaborations like this happen.

Discipline, accountability, loyalty, respect, and faith aren’t marketing slogans. They’re the foundation of strong programs and the reason this partnership has always made perfect sense.

We build relationships with both public and private schools that believe football is about developing people first and players second.

The 2036 Long Island Elite National Team has its leader for the 2027 Miami Trip!

@coachcapric has been named Head Coach.

Al is a man of strong character who has proven his loyalty to Long Island Elite, our principles and the way this organization is supposed to be represented. He has been around long enough to see this program develop young players into successful high school and college football players, and he understands what it takes to create positive outcomes over time.

He has also seen why some coaches succeed and others fail. Organization, communication, accountability and team morale matter. Al understands the responsibility that comes with leading a Long Island Elite team, and he has earned the opportunity.

Al will be in charge of the team heading into Miami in January 2027.

Tryouts are underway. Register through the link in bio at @LIEliteFootball

𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗥𝗦, 𝗖𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗦, 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗚𝗠

If you are interested in interviewing for Al’s staff, especially those who played the game, contact him directly at 631-357-9109.

Experience matters. Leadership matters. Character matters.

Long Island Elite Football is proud to announce Jeff Dimoulas as the Head Coach of our 2034 National Team.

Bringing nearly two decades of varsity coaching experience and a Division I playing background, we add another proven leader to the Long Island Elite coaching staff. A former Division 1 player at Sacred Heart University, he has spent years developing athletes at some of Long Island’s most respected football programs, including Half Hollow Hills East, Connetquot, and Farmingdale.

His experience goes well beyond X’s and O’s. He understands how to develop players, build confidence, communicate with families, and create the kind of culture that allows young athletes to grow both on and off the field.

Just as importantly, he represents everything Long Island Elite expects from its coaches. He leads with character, carries himself with professionalism, and understands that leadership extends far beyond the football field.

He values our pre-practice sideline conversations about character and leadership and embraces our classroom sessions because he understands that developing young men is every bit as important as developing football players. Those principles have always been woven into the fabric of our culture.

His loyalty to this organization has never wavered. Those qualities matter just as much as football knowledge.

Jeff will lead our 2034 National Team as we prepare for Miami on January 9-10, 2027.

Tryouts are underway now and will also be held this October at St. Anthony’s High School.

Registration is available through the link in our bio @LIEliteFootball

People interested in interviewing for Jeff’s staff, including Coaches and General Managers, are encouraged to contact him directly.

Relationships Above All.
