RECRUITs: Pick PEOPLE…

• Who will be honest with you when it’s hard to be.

• Who celebrate your victories as if they were their own.

• Who you want to be the best version of yourself around.

• Who will speak your name in a room of opportunities.

Dorien has been in the Lab for awhile! He works hard every time he comes to train. He has a bright future in football and getting ready for some workouts for schools coming up. Colleges do not want to miss out on this player because He is ready to be that animal on the field!

Good ole' MSU Bears!

0 D1 offers coming out of Abington. Kutztown was the only D2 school to offer me as a RB. After graduating took job interviews. Undrafted. P-Squad. Cut 7 times. God, Prayer & Hard Work… Anything Is Possible!🙏🏽

[Dr. Jim Afremow @goldmedalmind]

There is nothing stopping you from championing yourself and smashing your goals just like the champions you admire most. No one is born with or without a champion mind gene. The champion mindset is simply a beautiful quest to become the best you can be. https://t.co/iKyl12g3FX

3 sprint starts to work on your 1st step

These are 3 of my favorite sprint starts that you can use to build your 1st step

- RDL start: work on rhythm & quality extension

- Mountain climber start: work on quality knee drive/projection

- Med ball start: create more force/push

[Nate Marr @Coach_Marr]

Nothing better than having a former player reach out to tell you about their new job! Even better when they’re joining the coaching ranks!

Congrats to my former player @QuanBDS for being named Varsity RBs Coach at @WMRinesSports in MoCo! Can’t wait to watch you work! #MoCoMade

[The Coaches' Journal @TheCoachJournal]

Stop blaming others.
Start taking ownership.

Stop complaining about circumstances.
Start controlling what you can control.

Stop repeating the same mistakes.
Start stacking good day after good day.

Stop living with the pain of regret.
Start believing the best is yet to come.

[Coach J.R. Sandlin @JR_Sandlin]

RECRUITs: You might not have the offers or attention you’re looking for YET. There’s a lot of CHAOS in college football w/ the coaching carousel & transfer portal recruiting. Once the FIRST signing day is OVER you will see more C L A R I T Y!

#Recruiting101

[Coach J.R. Sandlin @JR_Sandlin]

RECRUITs: If you don’t DEDICATE yourself to …

The Weight Room
Stretching & Flexibility
Skills & Drills
Speed & Footwork Training
Nutrition
Sleeping Habits

Becoming the BEST version of yourself. You will NEVER be the athlete you desire.

SCIENCE:

If you don't make mistakes, you're doing it wrong.

If you don't correct those mistakes, you're doing it really wrong.

If you can't accept that you're mistaken, you're not doing it at all.

[Carl Reed Jr. @CoachReedLive]

College football is a business, nothing else. Every personal relationship you think you have is dependent on you handling business at a high level. Don’t ever be confused, be about your work.
