Think about this @KingstonCooper_ will be a freshman this coming season. Seeing some of the best DBs this weekend, and put in work. Coaches might really want to take a look at him in June during camp season 🤷🏾♂️
Great work to the 402 Boyz 18U team at the 7 on 7 Pylon event in Chicago. Came up a little short in the Semis, but definitely represented at a high level. @MSouthFootball#SouthSideSwarm
CJ Stroud on life's cheat codes, how comparison kills joy, how consistency builds confidence, and how preparation cashes the check whenever opportunity calls:
📕 Comparison mutes your own story. When you measure your worth against someone else’s highlight reel, you abandon the courage it takes to walk your own path. Your Joy lives only within YOU, so you can’t access it while trying to live someone else’s life.
🅿️🅿️ Trust the "2 P's" of work. Patience and Perseverance. Perseverance is choosing to consistently show up when no one is watching, and when the results haven’t arrived yet, with the same intent and energy as the previous day. Patience is the discipline of believing your consistent effort matters long before that evidence shows up. The combination of the two is a force multiplier for your growth.
✍️ Prepare like your story's ending has already been written. Getting ready ahead of time is an act of self-confidence. It says, “I believe I’m worthy of the opportunity that's coming.” And when it does, you won’t need confidence, because you’ll have already accumulated proof.
Trying to prove everyone else wrong is distraction disguised as motivation. It pulls your energy outward instead of forward. Put that same energy into proving yourself RIGHT, and let your consistency, instead of empty arguments, make a statement. 🔊
Head coach Matt Campbell felt Jackson would be a great safety, but after multiple team injuries, practiced him at receiver and said, “I don’t know if you’re going to move back to that safety room, you’re doing a great job.”
