Most youth football practices start with stretching โ then jump straight into team drills.
Here's what's missing:
The first 10 minutes of practice sets the standard for everything that follows. If players jog in half-awake, you've already lost the first quarter.
Install a non-negotiable pre-practice routine: footwork circuit โ mental focus cues โ full-speed rep one.
The habits built in August show up in November.
What's your pre-practice routine right now? Reply below ๐

I caught up with Joe Mazzulla's high school basketball coach (current @HendrickenAth basketball coach & AD) Jamal Gomes about Mazzulla's COY honor.
He shared that Mazzulla quietly paid a visit to Hendricken over the winter to speak with students, but he wouldn't let the school retire his jersey.
"He wanted to come back and spend time with the students and reminisce about his time here at Hendricken. He was not about the fanfare, getting awards, any of that." @NBC10

King Philip has hired Anthony Vizakis as head football coach. Vizakis has been the Warriors offensive coordinator the past three seasons. The Warriors have gone 38-1 in that span and averaged over 30 points per game. Vizakis was previously the head coach at Milford High School and he also served as offensive coordinator at Franklin High School among other stops. Vizakis played at Bishop Feehan High School and collegiately at Bridgewater State College. He is a great hire for the program, providing leadership, stability and familiarity for the players. Congratulations @CoachVizakis! @kpwarriors
Recruiters aren't just watching your highlights anymore.
They're asking โ does he FIT our system? Does he understand the game?
