18 years ago when I got into coaching little did I realize that this thing right here would cause me to curse more than anything else in the sport.

Just a reminder. Summer rules kick off tomorrow. 15 dates. Only 7 can be 7 on 7. Shoulder pads are only allowed for individuals at college camps on college campuses run by college coaches. No shoulder pads for team camps on college campuses. Four player rule becomes 7…….

[Coach Ray Ostrowski @CoachRayO3313]

Can’t dream of being a Varsity contributor with a JV mentality & work ethic to match. Successes starts with how you approach your dreams. Treat everything like it’s an opportunity and an interview. Dress the part, act the part & you’ll believe you’re truly the part.

Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold:

Two kids. One rich. One poor.

Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids.

The rich kid has two choices.

Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more.

Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater.

The poor kid has two choices too.

Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been.

Or outwork everyone in the room.

Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch.

Same choice for all of them.

Ownership or victimhood.
Fuel or excuse.

The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it.

The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it.

Greatness doesn't come from where you start.

It comes from which kid you choose to feed.

If you want to be different than the rest, you have to be willing to sacrifice, separate & strive. No one can accomplish great things alone. It takes pushing each other & constantly raising the bar.

LEGENDARY QUOTE:

#Rams head coach Sean McVay said in order to grow as a person you need to struggle in life.

“Show me anybody that's great in anything they do, I'll show you somebody that's persevered, demonstrated that mental toughness to overcome some obstacles and adversity”

[Coach West @coachwwest]

Hardest job in high school football:
Calling scout team offense.

No glory.

No stats.

Just trying to simulate a playoff caliber offense with kids whose main goal is surviving inside run period 🤣

[Coach Dan Casey @CoachDanCasey]

😍 I love the Single Wing

It’s not ‘cool’ to try. Inevitably try and fail

Many soon realize they have to buy-in & try if they want what they claim they want

It’s no longer little league. Those who succeed are those who commit to trying, failing & improving! Don’t wait until it’s too little, too late!

[Coach Ray Ostrowski @CoachRayO3313]

If your word is your bond & relationships matter - we’ll never sell anyone a🍋by embellishing, lying or talking up anyone/anything that isn’t true.

Those who put in the work and exceed the standard never have to worry about their good name or their rep. Your word is your bond

[Kurt Warner @kurt13warner]

Great Leaders:

1) Are willing to speak the TRUTH

2) Hold THEMSELVES accountable just like they hold others

3) Able to admit when they are wrong & willing to change course as needed

4) Act in best interest of Team, not Self

[Coach Kenny Simpson @fbcoachsimpson]

If your admin is not supportive, winning is much harder.

[Scott Farley @CoachFarley7]

Soooo true!!

[Coach Ray Ostrowski @CoachRayO3313]

It all begins and ends with your ability to care - particularly about others. It can never just be about you when the key to sustained success is We/Me
