As a team leader, be the glue that holds your team together. Do all the little things on and off the field that improve your team’s cohesion and chemistry.

It’s an interesting time of year. The start of high school football.

It’s as clear as day who is all in and who isn’t.

Especially when it comes to the parents. Make your son do hard things. If you do he will be better for it.

If you make it easy for him, remove the struggle, pave the road, he will never understand the value of hard work and grit.

It’s that simple.

PLAYERS: When coaches, teachers, or parents push you or hold you to high standards, it's often because they want you to be better. They want you to reach your potential. They want you to achieve your goals. Be coachable and appreciate how they might be able to help you.

Kendrick Perkins talking about basketball players playing football, and playing football to be a more physical basketball player. The message continues…PLAY MULTIPLE SPORTS! Bet we’re just crazy football coaches 😉

[Greg Peach @GregPeach90]

The most development I had as a football player was in college.

Here’s why:

We did the same drills over and over again for an hour every practice. Then later in meetings we watched film on those drills while being critiqued by the coach. Every detail mattered.

The ones who bought in had some form of success. The ones that didn’t weren’t there very long.

What I learned from that experience was that true development and ultimately long term success come from doing the boring, repetitive things nobody else wants to do.

Basketball - “You guys can do stuff year round with AAU and open gyms, don’t sweat it”

Baseball - “Fall ball leagues? Not a problem. Have as many open gyms as you want”

Football - “Did you just look at that football? I’m turning you in to your state association”

Not a knock on my baseball and basketball coaching friends, just speaking the truth.

This is the HS in the town we live in

Shared a play from last week and stated “if you have a young athlete show them this—season saved off effort”

Same message applies. State title game. Dreams and goals on the line. Watch kid on left of screen and his effort. Wins a state title for @StaplesFootbal1
Doesn’t take talent. Takes effort built up over years…

Nick Saban said, "There are 3 things we can't have: We can't have complacency, we can't have selfishness, and we can't lose our accountability."

Accountability means taking ownership.

It means holding everyone to the standard.

Accountability is not only what you do, but also what you don't do.

It's foundational to trust and building trust within yourself and your team.

Success doesn't happen without accountability.

6 Principles of Accountability:
1. Acceptance - It means acknowledging your responsibilities and taking ownership of your actions to move forward. Know what you want, believe in it, and make it a priority. Be clear and specific about your values, standards, and environment.

2. Clarity - It means defining the standard and the expectations you expect from yourself and others. This is essential for communication. When you have a clear standard, you have a roadmap to follow, and it makes accountability much easier.

3. Honesty - Be honest with yourself and others. Be truthful and transparent about your actions, decisions, and outcomes, even when they are challenging or unfavorable. Build trust and credibility by being honest with others (and yourself) when you don't meet the standard that was set.

4. Courage - Have the courage to admit mistakes, address problems, and take corrective actions. There will be times you fall short, but having courage means demonstrating a consistent commitment to accountability and growth. By being courageous, you build confidence in the process.

5. Leadership - People do what people see. Set the tone and be the example of change that you want to see. Leadership means leading others and leading yourself by embracing the standard. When leaders hold themselves accountable, it sets an example for others to follow.

6. Trust - Accountability thrives in an environment of trust. When you trust yourself, you know what to expect. When you trust others, you can expect them to stick to their word because you know their values, standards, and what they stand for. Communication is easier when you trust people.

"Failing to hold someone accountable is ultimately an act of selfishness." - Patrick Lencioni

After a great conversation with @CoachVBisonOC, I am extremely blessed to announce I have received my first offer to play College football at Nichols College! #GoBison

Smaller schools:
The weight room is a BONUS - it sets your team apart from other smaller schools that do not get stronger

Big schools:
The weight room is THE PRICE OF ADMISSION - If your kids aren’t strong, they get physically dominated & hurt more often

Bottom Line: LIFT!🏋🏽‍♀️
