You are not entitled to anything and no one owes you anything.

[Su’a Kristopher Cravens @SuaKCravens]

I did 4 tournaments as a coach for Trillion Boyz a couple years ago… The embarrassing & unprofessional nature of the coaches, referees, and even OT7 at times created such a toxic environment that I had to step away before I put my hands on somebody (including a coach on my own team) … Doing backflips in underwear after scoring on a 14 year old freshmen because you’re a 19 year old double hold back senior doesn’t make you good. And the recruiting sites that love to enable this toxic behavior at tournaments are just as much to blame. Yal love shoving the camera in these kids faces whether they score a TD, argue on the field, get in a fight, or even get hurt. It’s all for clicks. 7 on 7 football IS NOT REAL FOOTBALL and you’ll get ya feelings hurt thinking your kid is better than the rest because of what he does in a passing league with zero tackling. This shit was meant to be a way of creating a “travel ball” for football players outside of their respective seasons to gain further recruitment. Not the popularity contest you parents, recruiting sites, and coaches have turned this bullshit into. It’s sad to see honestly!

PURE CINEMA

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

The Parent Poison…

Most parents want the best for their kids.

But sometimes, without realizing it, they slowly poison the very team their child is part of.

It rarely starts with something dramatic.
It starts small.

A comment in the car ride home.
“Why didn’t the coach play you more?”

A comparison.
“You’re better than that kid.”

A quiet complaint at the dinner table.
“That coach doesn’t know what he’s doing.”

Kids hear everything.

And when they hear it, something changes.

Doubt creeps in.
Blame grows.
Trust fades.

The mindset shifts from team first to me first.

What begins in the living room eventually shows up in the locker room.

You see it in body language.
You hear it in conversations.
You feel it in the culture.

Instead of unity, there are whispers.
Instead of accountability, there are excuses.
Instead of growth, there is resentment.

Great teams cannot survive that environment.

Because the best teams are built on three things:

Trust.
Sacrifice.
Shared purpose.

When players start believing the problem is everyone else, those things disappear.

Parents play a powerful role in a team’s culture whether they realize it or not.

The healthiest teams have parents who:

Support the program.
Encourage resilience.
Teach their kids to handle adversity.

They remind their children:

Work harder.
Be a great teammate.
Control what you can control.

They don’t feed excuses.
They build character.

And here’s the truth most people miss:

A parent’s influence extends far beyond their own child.

It affects the locker room.
It affects the culture.
It affects the entire team.

Great teams require unity, not whispers of criticism.

So the challenge for parents is simple.

Be the adult in the room.

Guard your words.
Model respect.
Support the team.

Because what starts at home always finds its way onto the court, the field, or the locker room.

And the best parents don’t poison the culture.

They protect it.

Hire for A, punish or fire for B.

[Cody Hughes @clh_strength]

I wish more HS kids would just maximize their HS experience rather than pour all of their soul into an idea of a sports scholarship offer...

[Cody Hughes @clh_strength]

Why do coaches want to coach this “false step” out of receivers when every high level receiver does it?

… and the reason the body organizes this way, is because it needs a stretch shortening response to explode… which is what you are asking them to do

Strength training isn’t:

Tryouts in 6 weeks have to get ready.

I’ll train for 1 month & make some gains.

Not training every other week because you’re “busy.”

Strength training is:

Consistency year-round to make gains

Multiple dialed-in days per week

Relentless execution

Constant positivity is just another form of avoidance.

Same person telling kids to have discipline and how you do anything is how you do everything.

[StrengthCoachNetwork @StrCoachNetwork]

This is music to the ears of so many S&C coaches.

When you watch tonight's game for LSU you will not see Jake and his staff waving towels on the sidelines.

This starts at the top. Shout out to Coach Kelly for how he leads and works with Jake and The Foundation.
