Coaches play favorites? I here that all the time from kids and parents everywhere. And they are very correct....our favorites are the ones that: come to practice, work hard year around, learn the plays, unselfish, coachable, etc. #playingfavorites #becomethefavorite

Dabo Sweeney “the great ones want to be told the truth and they want to be coached!” So many kids today just want to be left alone. Accept coaching and learn from it!

Offer free physicals at school, remind kids all summer they need a physical, put on radio, phone message and news paper, get local doctors to do walk ins….Saturday before practice starts text: “coach how can we get a physical”?

I’m still amazed with all the info out there and the videos of players like Lebron and Curry lifting on game days that you still have kids saying “I can’t lift it will mess my “game” up? And I’ve never had a strength coach that wouldn’t modify lifts to help BB player? #lazy

Gonna vent for two seconds. Texted a div 2 coach and texted the Head Coach and two assistants at a FBS Div 1 school about a couple of my kids. Not a single coach responded? Do better. I understand you guys are watching the transfer portal but dang? BTW it’s been over a week

I’ve been reading all these tweets about kids playing multiple sports and they keep hinting that it’s football coaches discouraging it ? It’s my experience that it’s quite the opposite? Football coaches love multi sport athletes? It’s the travel ball mentality of the other

Amazing how you can miss tryouts, not come all summer or rarely, show up without a physical on the first day, not hustle or listen and then act surprised when you get cut? You’re not a victim. You did this to yourself. Look in the 🪞 #Accountability

This idea that I can just show up when its convenient, and the door is always gonna be open, is a foolish notion and rooted in entitlement? The standard is the standard. You are either in the boat now or you can pay your $7 in the fall. Someone has to hold kids accountable!

Teams holding workouts off campus with “coaches” and players using school equipment is a big stretch of what is allowed, if not a clear violation of the rules. We all want to be working out with our kids but not sure this is what we need to be allowing ?

Using football as an avenue to get to college is a good thing but let’s stop making that the only reason you’re playing. Less than 3 % of kids get athletic scholarships. That leaves a lot of disappointment and broken young men who feel like failures when they don’t make it!
