I’ve coached teams that were 0-10 and 10-0.
The difference??
A championship team is built on dedication and accountability.
A team where athletes come early and stay late, compete on every drill, push through every rep, touch every line in conditioning, take responsibility
How to rebuild a program:
1. Hair gel and joggers
2. Get new players
3. Nickname everything
4. More players
5. Seriously, nickname every thing in your program: team, stadium, all of it. It must have a nickname.
6. Couple more players.
7. Tweet about everything.
If you’ve coached football for more than 15years, what’s something that wasn’t a thing when you started but you deal with now?

Spring training at a small school only has to work around baseball playoffs. And softball playoffs. And track. And the spring band concert. And the school play. And the FFA banquet. And Honor’s night. And the rain. But besides that it goes pretty smoothly.
Can’t wait to go in helmets tomorrow, just like we did all summer.
I’m old enough to remember when the first day of practice was a big deal. Now it’s just Monday.
Qualification for 30 under 30?
Held scout cards still
Picked up best player up for morning practice so he didn’t sleep in
Had headsets charged
Made cool gameday graphics

Our off season conditioning program worked! We won the 4th quarter 14-0.
Even though the final score was 56-14 and they played their JV the 4th quarter.
Which rules of
@AHSAAUpdates
are dumber.
11 on 11 in the summer with only helmets or in the spring you can start full pads but in the fall you have to go 2 days in helmets even though you’ve spent all summer in helmets?
Time to get out of coaching and be a child’s personal trainer. Here’s my business model
Train kids 3-12 that will naturally develop
Use simple movements with lots of props to make them look complicated.
Finish with a game that is a form of tag but has a cool name
$100 a kid
If you’re at a clinic and he says “we were able to make a guy miss” or “we let DNA take over”, just head to the bar and sit down with a guy that’s spitting into a Busch lite can.
Spring football is a great time to work fundamentals and develop your players.
Until you realize you have a game this week so you abandon all of that to work scheme and try not to get embarrassed on Friday.
Another fake football coach blocked me. It��s a trend. He lasted one year coaching at a public school and changed careers. After proclaiming he was a stud OL coach.
We can’t get our principal to get all of our kids in weight lifting, meanwhile Pell City is acting like they are the Eastern State University Timberwolves.
