I have yet to see an athlete “train on their own” at the local gym and actually see any measurable improvement over any period of time.
Especially during the summer, the athletes who miss sessions never improve and often regress.
Programming and environment matters!
“Drop ins” are a complete money grab for Athletes/Parents who don’t know better.
You don’t drop into a program on random days of the month.
Performance is built on stacking quality progressive sessions every week for months/years on end.
Don’t fall for the Trap🙌🏻
Injuries are opportunities.
The kids who handle it like this always come back better.
The kids who take an injury as an opportunity to do absolutely nothing for 6 weeks to three months tend to not do so well.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Barta family and Smith Center as legendary Kansas HS football coach Roger Barta has passed away at the age of 79 as first reported by Kansas Pregame.
“Someone here is the best football player on the team, and someone is the worst,” Barta said. “It’s time to forget about that. Let’s respect each other. When we respect each other, we’ll like each other. When we like each other, we’ll love each other. That’s when, together, we’ll become champions.”
“One more thing, guys. We don’t talk about winning and losing. We talk about getting a little better every day, about being the best we can be, about being a team. And when we do that, winning and losing take care of themselves.”
Roger Barta
Smith Center Redmen
79 consecutive wins
Under Barta, the Smith Center Redmen won eight state football titles, set the Kansas record for consecutive wins with 79 in a row, and complied a record of 323-68 from 1978-2012. Barta, a Kansas Sports Hall of Famer, retired in 2012 from SC. Smith Center was also the setting of New York Times best selling book by Joe Drape, “Our Boys: A Perfect Season on the Plains with the Smith Center Redmen”. Barta coached numerous players that went on to college football and even a couple to the NFL. Barta was born in Ellsworth in 1945 but grew up in Plainville. He graduated from FHSU and the University of Georgia. He also served as an assistant at Tonganoxie, Atwood and Wakeeney prior to taking the SC job. His son Brooks is also a Kansas coaching legend with the Holton program. The street leading to the football stadium was named “Roger Barta Way” several years ago to honor coach Barta’s Iasting impact.

Why does it seem there is a major problem in society with a standard? I have been coaching for 33 years and there is a standard to be on my team. A standard to coach alongside me. Freedom is a gift. When it’s abused on my team it’s decreased. When student-athletes overstep their boundaries, there are consequences. I have faced them in my life and they have helped to transform me into something better. Responsibility is on the other end of freedom. Thank you God for showing us the way.
