Steal this drill for athletes!!
This may be one of my favorite drills on here!
You’ll definitley want to grab a training partner and try this out.
Intent and effort were through the roof!
⚡️ Hard decelerations + accelerations
⚡️ Competition
⚡️ Creativity + Decision making
Sources: @AggieBaseball will hire Nolan Cain, one of the nation's top recruiters, as its newest Associate HC/recruiting coordinator, I'm told. Cain, who spent the past 2 seasons at Texas, had previously spent time on the #Aggies coaching staff under Schloss. He returns to College Station.
Had some brand new players this week…decide to do the 1 step test @Tony_Villani_ to show how much one step really means in football…
.96 20/10 guy one yard behind a 1.03 20/10 guy. So like 4.5-4.6 guy (first screenshot) chasing a 4.8-4.9 guy. With a 1 step lead moving on his movement??
How many yards did it take for the faster guy to catch the slower guy??
Well they went 35 yards before they ran out of field and he hadn’t caught him yet….one step is what we are chasing. Linear, lateral whatever it takes. One step!
@StJamesFB
@Tony_Villani_ Some of us who are both coaches and athletes understand EXACTLY what you’re saying. I hated to miss you guys up at Guyer this past weekend. Wanted to know more about the shredmill ground.
Congratulations to @ConnorLeos2 and @Brooks_Nelson1 for being named to the 2026 All Tournament Team. Both players are extremely deserving to be named and are great representations of McKinney North Baseball. Go Dawgs!!

Self-esteem drives performance.
Very few outperform how they feel about themselves.
Confidence and self-esteem are different.
Build the person - improve the player.
R.A.P.
Recognition.
Appreciation.
Praise.
Praise must be earned.
Critique must teach.
Create an environment where people grow.
Nobody is immune to tough days.
Rock bottom isn’t the end. It’s the moment you finally get your power back.
Jocko Willink on Diary of a CEO:
When the excuses vanish and you admit “this is all because of me,” it hurts like hell… but it’s also liberating. Because if you’re the cause of your problems, you’re also the solution. Extreme ownership gives you control over your fate.
The Stoics understood this deeply. Epictetus taught that it’s not events that disturb us, but our judgment of them. True freedom begins the second you stop blaming externals and take full ownership. Painful? Yes. But it turns you from a victim of circumstance into the master of your destiny.
In a culture that rewards blame and victimhood, this mindset is revolutionary. It transforms suffering into fuel and rock bottom into a launchpad.
What’s one “rock bottom” moment that ultimately became the turning point in your life?
