As a coach, I learned you can’t save everybody. Sometimes leadership means knowing who to let go before they damage what you’re building. Remove the cancer cells before they spread. Protect the culture, the mission, and the bigger picture. 💯
Going to always advocate for my student/athletes but will not recommend them to college coaches if they are 1. Not coachable 2. Behavior issue 3. Not close academically to qualify 4. No work ethic. As a former college Recruiter I have seen some coaches push non committed players which leads to future opportunities being closed. As coaches our name is on a kid we co sign on.
The weight room doesn't care how talented you are.
It doesn't care about your last game, your excuses, or what you think you're capable of.
You either show up and put in the work, or you don't.
And here's what young athletes need to understand...
The work you put in this winter will show up when it matters this spring.
Don't waste the offseason. ⚾️💪
The coach who holds you accountable to be on time, touch the line, and pick up your trash sees the athlete you are becoming in those small choices.
They set the stage for who you will be when the discipline around you is removed and nobody is telling you where to be or what to do. The habits you build under their watch become the person you are without it.
Your choices today build your character tomorrow.
Senior season finale! 2 TDs, 100+ rushing yards, and 3 TFLs. Finished my high school career giving it everything I had. I want to thank my coaches for helping me through these last four years and mentoring me. @CoachEddie20@BarringtonMorr4@ObieBoykin
One of my favorite groups to come through. They came in during a turning point of our program and didn’t flinch. The record doesn’t tell the full story sometimes. Seeing what these guys have been through, the highs and lows. What they’ve been a part of over these past 4 seasons. Proud of this senior class. Excited to see what the future holds for them.
