30 years ago I was the starting QB at Utah State University. My senior year I got benched. For the next 15 years I walked around feeling like a certified loser. Then I read this quote from Pat Summitt:
'Winning is fun… Sure. But winning is not the point.
Wanting to win is the point.
Not giving up is the point.
Never letting up is the point.
Never being satisfied with what you’ve done is the point.'
It snapped me out of it. If you’re still carrying a sports setback, a benching, a missed opportunity, or any “I’m not enough” story… this is your permission slip to drop it. The game isn’t over. Your story is not yet written. You are still a work in progress. The point is you keep wanting it. You keep getting up. And you listen to that quiet voice that says, "I will try again tomorrow."
1991 Chicago Bulls lifting on game day 😤
Back when most thought it was crazy.
The Bulls knew better: morning weights kept them strong, physical, and fresh through the long season + playoffs.
MJ & Scottie didn’t skip it.
Neither should you.
In-season lifting = non-negotiable
Uncoachable players have short careers.
They flinch at feedback.
They make excuses.
They need praise.
The best?
They hunt coaching.
Feedback is a gift. Cash it in.💰
Prayers go out to the family of #56 Tyler Brock. Tyler was a senior 2017-18 football season for the Tigers. Starting guard for the state runner up Tigers. Was taken too early in automobile accident this week. As a Coach a call you never want to get. Fly high Tyler…
Behind every successful team, was an agonizing decision.
A decision to replace an upperclassman with an underclassmen. 🤷♂️
A decision to remove a “cancer.” 🤷♂️
A decision that rests solely on the Head Coach’s shoulders. And nobody knows because nobody cares.
Find athletes with GRIT
not ones with fancy gear.
Find athletes who are about the TEAM
not ones focused on their own stats.
Find athletes who are about WINNING
not ones who whine about playing time.
When you find these athletes
you'll find consistent success.

As an athlete, your body language directly affects your motivation and confidence. By standing tall and acting confident, you can improve your mindset and perform better in games.
“Win the day”
“Go to class, sit in the first couple of rows”
“Listen to the teachers”
“Take care of your body”
“Eat something with some color”
“Get in the video room”
“Take hard coaching.. be a man”
“Be a great teammate”
“Get in the weight room”

Front squat is a great tool to use to build strength in athletes:
✅ Less stress on lower back
✅ Easier to achieve full ROM
✅ Exposes athletes to front rack
Great tool to supplement with the back squat & will help the athlete get comfortable for heavier cleans
