[Coach Grimes @TrenchLabElite]

I wasn’t supposed to make it.

Not in football.
Not in life.
Not with the odds I had stacked against me.

I was the big kid who tried football just to try something.
No stars. No hype. No offers. Just heart.
And a whole lot of setbacks.

There were moments I wanted to quit.
Times I felt overlooked.
Seasons where I wasn’t the guy.
But football taught me something deeper than wins and stats.

It taught me perseverance when no one was watching.
It taught me how to show up hurting, tired, doubting but still faithful.
It taught me how to lose with character, and win with humility.
And most of all, it taught me how to be consistent when nothing around me felt certain.

I look back now and realize football was never just a game.
It was the training ground for life.
It molded my mindset, refined my work ethic, and gave me a brotherhood I’ll never forget.

Today, I apply the same discipline I learned on the field to every area of my life.
Faith. Business. Relationships. Purpose.
And every time I feel like giving up.

I remember the reps I took in silence, the grind when no one believed, and the God who was with me through it all.

If you’re in a season of struggle or uncertainty keep going.
Stay faithful. Stay consistent.
The breakthrough isn’t always loud it’s often built quietly, in private, through perseverance.

Football changed my life.
But God used it to transform me.

[PPT ELITE @PptElite]

Intensity is the standard. PPT Elite we’re not just looking for athletes — we’re looking for a certain DNA. Players who love the technical side of football, who prepare before the lights ever come on, and who bring passion and energy to every single rep. That’s the difference.

[Coach Grimes @TrenchLabElite]

[Jordan Pugh @JordanPugh29]

I think the state of high school football will change drastically in the next few years FOR TOP RECRUITS ONLY!

I believe the sr year of those players will matter less and less as recruiting advances and players have 20+ offers going into their jr year in some cases!

We already have early enrollees, players moving to different schools/states to get paid, & next is athletes missing the sr season all together!

So what’s the point? The business has moved to hs level. Meaning the opportunity to play at the college level is harder than ever. You must move like a business to operate in the business 👍🏾

[Coach Grimes @TrenchLabElite]

Excited to have you man!! Going to be a great year!
