Culture gets stronger when you define the behaviors. Three principles: Compete. Connect. Respond. Compete with full effort. Connect through direct communication and support. Respond without blame, excuses, or defensiveness. Then measure the behavior with evidence, not vague
I have so much respect for high school football coaches. It’s a sport that requires significant amount of time meeting and watching film. When you work a 9-5 all of that comes at the sacrifice of time with family and friends.
Then they go out and have 1 shot a week to get it right. The whole town is there. They all have something to say when it’s not going well.
The glory is great, but the stress and work has to be hard.
The team we are scheduled to play in our fifth game of the season has started canceling games. For fear of being dropped the week before or the week of, @dillopride is now looking for a game on Sept 25th (fifth game). @Matt_Stepp817@padillapoll@CoachOrtega33@jfswt (please share)
You won’t outrun these Gobblers. Rocking a green lid with crisp white decals, Cuero @GobblerFB is geared up to make plenty of noise this season. Thanks, Coach Fikac @jfswt, for trusting Au, the champion brand for Texas HS Football. #Au#CustomizeYourLegacy#txhsfb
As an AD, remind your athletes as we head into preseason practice, here are a few reminders that will help make this season a successful one.
Coaches make decisions based on what they believe is best for the team. Trust the process, even when you don’t always understand every decision.
Being held accountable is a privilege. It means your coaches believe in your potential and are investing in your growth. Being coached means they see something in you worth developing.
Learn from both winning and losing. Success builds confidence, and adversity builds character. Both are valuable teachers.
Be a great teammate. Encourage others, celebrate their success, and put the team ahead of yourself.
The work you put in this summer will reveal itself this fall. There are no shortcuts. Preparation always shows.
Learn to struggle well. Every athlete faces challenges. How you respond to adversity will define you more than any scoreboard.
Never quit on your teammates. They are counting on your commitment, effort, and attitude every single day.
Give your best effort daily. You can control your attitude, your work ethic, and how you compete.
Finally, remember this is your season, not your parents’ season. Take ownership of your experience, embrace the challenges, and make the most of every opportunity.
Have a great season, compete with pride, and represent your school with character, class, and commitment.
“A lot of times the guy that plays hard is better than the guy that has the most talent." - Kirby Smart
Talent tells people what you could be.
Your effort tells them what you are.
Because coaches don’t bet on ability, they bet on reliability.

HS Athletes: Practicing these habits on your HS campus will make you a leader there and have you ready for any college campus:
•Being on time for class.
•Paying attention in class.
•Being respectful to others.
•Finishing your assignments on time.
Losers assemble in small groups & complain about coaches and teammates. Winners assemble as a team & find ways to win.
