Closed the book on my 34th year has a high school teacher today. This one hits a little different. My 31st year at Redlands High School will also be my last. Proud of the work the RHS faculty does every day. Proud to be a Terrier. I'm not done yet, but more on what's next later
Championship offenses come in every shape:
Wing-T. Air Raid. Flexbone. I-formation. Wishbone. Slot-T. Power spread.
So what’s the constant?
- Identity
- Execution
- Talent
Not the playbook.
The Dodgers mourn the loss of Davey Lopes, who passed away today at age 80. Lopes was a member of the team’s record-setting infield of the 1970s and 1980s and one of the finest basestealers in MLB history. Our condolences go out to his family and friends.
Indiana QB Josh Hoover caught some flack from TCU coach Sonny Dykes for his turnovers.
Curt Cignetti had Hoover's back this afternoon:
"When Josh got here, he met his two new best friends: Great defense and a really good run game.
"And he was never the same after that." #iufb
20 years ago the Redlands HS Terriers ran the crap outta this play. @CoachWalkerrhs@CoachKHaugh we would put on a weekly Wide Zone clinic. Thanks to Alex Gibbs and his great play.
He barely gets any movement after contact, then his feet end up back where they started as he gets pushed into the hole, and then he gets a holding call if the RB is pressing it front side. Why are we glorifying dumb reps like this?
The biggest competitive advantage at the high school level right now is nutrition.
Big time programs are investing through boosters or grants to feed their athletes throughout the day.
I think people would be shocked how many kids don’t eat breakfast, and not always by choice
Hard coaching without relationship produces resentment. Relationship without hard coaching produces entitlement. The sweet spot is a player who knows you love them and knows you will not lower the bar for them.
S&C Programming is a MASSIVE factor in raising athletic potential. You have to be deliberate, detailed & dive into the data
Yes HS kids improve with good training but they will THRIVE with elite programming. Elite S&C improves on-field performance. Poor S&C doesn't.
If I were a k-12 high school looking for the easiest way to improve athletics,
I’d make middle school PE mandatory and make it include weight training.
Athletes: 3-4 days weight room, 1-2 days games
Non-Athletes: 3-4 days games, 1-2 days weight room
