The transfer portal rules to save college football.
1 transfer for all.
If your Head Coach leaves for another school, you get a free transfer.
2 transfer windows:
-1 after spring ball
-1 after the National Championship Game
If you decide to transfer a 2nd time and your coach has not left, you have to sit out a year.
Eliminates student athletes playing for 4 schools in 5 years, allows them to have a Home when they graduate and connect with their community and the fans in a deeper way.
Allows proper development for Student athletes and accountability for Coaches to stay honest in their recruitment and plan for development for their players.
Allows flexibility for student athletes to enter the transfer portal after the spring or after the season to make the best decision for themselves without feeling trapped.
Teaches student athletes to make the right decision when picking a school and a coach to play for and fight through adversity when being coached hard to be the best they can be.

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.
Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥
You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.
Hard is the lesson.

Oregon Football Coach Dan Lanning on Authentic Leadership, his team's 🧬 DNA traits, and coaching players like he parents his children:
🪢 Connection: People don’t go the extra mile for a logo, but they will for a person. When relationships are real, effort becomes habitual. You don't have to ask for buy-in because they’re already invested, in each other.
🎋 Growth: The best teams have an insatiable desire to get better. That hunger to grow turns every rep into an opportunity, and every mistake into a data point to learn from. If curiousity stats consistent, progress compounds over time.
🛠️ Toughness: Toughness isn’t loud, it’s predictable. It’s showing up every day without carrying yesterday’s excuses or today’s complaints. The standard isn’t what you do when you feel good, it’s what you repeatedly do in the many moments you DON'T feel good.
🥳 Sacrifice: Great teams consist of people who celebrate others success more than their own. That's counterintuitive, but when you can take pride in someone else’s win, you remove ego from the equation and it allows you to multiply the strength of the group.
Similar to a family — the strength of a team is determined by the strength of it's relationships. When connection fuels growth, toughness sustains it, and sacrifice protects it.

You don’t like him ‘cuz he coaches hard.
I’ve covered a few PE classes lately & I’ve never been more convinced that every student, in every grade, should have PE daily & we should make the standards more rigorous. Lack of movement + social media/phones is destroying kids’ physical + mental health. Adults need to step in
Due to the current climate in high school sports and school settings, the majority of athletes will graduate having never worked with a truly qualified and capable strength and conditioning coach.
You can learn a lot about a sports parent by how they watch a game.
The best ones?
No drama.
No complaining.
No yelling at refs.
No badmouthing coaches.
They’re just grateful to watch their child play.
Youth sports need more of that.
