Two different kinds of people in this world:
Pretenders and performers.
Pretenders want the spotlight.
Performers earn it.
Pretenders chase attention.
Performers chase results.
Pretenders try to win by deceiving.
Performers win by achieving.
The difference always shows.

Don’t let trainers and social media get you.
Doing cool exercises in the gym doesn’t make you an athlete.
Performing at a high level on the field, court, or in competition when it matters most does.
The weight room is there to build what shows up in the game.
Thats an Athlete
God’s reward and plan will be far more greater than anything you can imagine or wanted.
Keep your head down, continue to stack days and up numbers. Everything else will fall align
What’s the diff:
The person that’s put in position
Vs
The person that worked for the position
….
The first person walks in with access.
Vs
The second walks in with error, experience and foundation.

I took a look at Dax's highlight tape today. Really intrigued by what I watched!
- Amazing physicality for a '29 prospect. Blocks for screens in the slot, and lead blocks as an H-Back. Finishes blocks. A better blocker than a lot of Varsity WR/TEs.
- Plays with great effort and confidence.
- Developing as a receiver. Key areas to improve, but the effort still shows up.
- Gets after it on defense. Things to improve technically, but effort is there. Love the potential at DE/OLB
- Best traits are physicality, effort, and measurables. Scary-good foundation. I very rarely see freshmen play with the effort and physicality that Dax displayed.
Made great progress at summer ball @BGSUMBB. Keeping it going 100%, be even better when I head back. Appreciate partnering with Coachman Strength and Conditioning here in Byron Center. Measurable stats today, hit it hard Monday. 5-6 days a week! @BKoet@robclanton6@brady_vis1
Being an ATHLETE is not going to the gym or field performing or doing cool things.
Being an ATHLETE is taking what you learned from the gym, and applying it to your sport at a HIGH level in LIVE action.
