Everyone is always rooting for you. Your parents want you to be a great son. Wife wants you to be a great husband. Your boss wants you to be a slam dunk hire. Every first date you’ve ever been on they’ve been rooting for you to get laid. Every time you started to tell a joke people hoped it would have a hilarious punch line. Your proximity to anyone is a reflection of themself, meaning the deck is never stacked against you, and your failures are completely your own

[The Spread Offense @Spread_Offense]

There are two types of athletes:

1)
😡“I have to lift weights”
🥱“I have to wake up early”
🙄“I have to go to practice”

2)
💪“I GET TO lift weights”
😤“I GET TO wake up early”
🤩“I GET TO go to practice”

The 2nd will always outperform the 1st!

I’ve never understood the log to be predetermined…

It’s a kick until it’s not. If you can’t kick then work to swivel your hips and get the outside

This kind of statement concerns me, as it shows how much we need to educate decision-makers about the important role coaches play in society.

[betz @adaptSkill]

one will hear coach or colleague shouting instructions to a competitor to correct faulty technique during rapid movements. This is little more than useless because it is not possible consciously to change the course of any movement which lasts less than 0.4 second (Thomas, 1970)

[John G. Patrick @Coachjgpatrick]

The weight room is the most influential room in a school.
It’s not a place to hang out — it’s a classroom.
A place where habits are built, standards are set, and character is developed.

[LandonTengwall @LandonTengwall]

The whole “playing under the chute” thing has proven to be really outdated. It’s more about “leverage” rather than playing “low”. And honestly just accelerating in run game is something many coaches struggle to get their athletes to do. The way many coaches teach “steps” and “gaining ground with your first step” can force a OL to actually decelerate rather than accelerate. Because they are just stepping, and not moving their midline. The goal should be driving in the exact opposite direction they want to move (laws of physics, that’s the most efficient way to move).

I think many OL coaches would see more result if they think from a movement standpoint point of teaching, rather than trying to segment everything. Makes you a lot more robotic vs just being an athlete

[Melanie Redd Performance Training @coach_mel_redd]

There will be signs in the off season that a team has not bought in to a culture.

Late to warm ups.
Warm ups look sloppy.
No obvious leader.
Goofing off.
Someone yelling shut up!
Improper clothes and shoes.

IMO, the culture is clear 5 min before warmup.

5: You need a supportive spouse.

This should be #1 on the list for many!

Coaching can put a strain on your family

Having a spouse who understands and supports your passion is CRITICAL.

Make sure to take the time to show your appreciation and give back whenever possible.

[Justin Grandenetti @Coach_G32]

ELITE!

All wideouts should learn how to keep their body inside, while catching the football over their outside shoulder. Catching the football while keeping your body between the defender and the ball is a skill that needs to be repped.

[Cole 🐻 Young @Coach_Bearyoung]

Every OL coach should be doing this in my opinion. The more exposure to this the better off your student athletes will be. Hip mobility is one of if not the most important aspects of being an offensive lineman.

[Coach Rigdon @TheCoachRigs]

I’ve been at programs where there was no playbook, no install drawn up on HUDL, & no presentation. The install was on a white board then we walked thru, and the kids executed. I’ve also been at programs where we had a playbook, every install drawn up on HUDL, and full scouting report was presented with amazing graphics & opponent screenshots. What did I learn doing it both ways? Players make plays & coaches don’t. We facilitate, educate, & motivate.

[Chris Towery @CoachTowery]

EDD for us. Great drill to get a lot done in a short time.
