Kendrick Perkins talking about basketball players playing football, and playing football to be a more physical basketball player. The message continues…PLAY MULTIPLE SPORTS! Bet we’re just crazy football coaches 😉
The Echer girls have made their arrival! Meet McKinley Harper and Kennedy Rhyan! They’re about to be the two most spoiled little girls, we’re so grateful for them!

I have never understood why people take and post so many baby/child pictures. I now understand. I am overwhelmed with a million emotions! Thankful for these two angels and my strong beautiful wife!

Well, a little over 6 weeks ago I made a deal with our kids that I would go to state track with a red mowhawk if we took 12+ kids to state...here we are..the night before state track and 20 kids later.

We will be making signs & visiting Jeff tomorrow morning at hospital. They will get Jeff to a window where he can see us. We will leave from the high school at 10:15am. I will have the weight room open at 9AM for anyone that would like to come in and make a sign. All are welcome
Today we lost my baby cousin to an ATV accident. We were just laughing and telling stories last night. Please, don’t be afraid to tell people that you love them. You never know when they may be gone. Going to miss that smile and goofy personality.
Saw what NDSU/OU plan on doing with their helmets. We decided to give it a shot with masks instead of cloth. The zip ties on the bottom allow the players to adjust the mask away when needed. Day 2 of camp is about to crank up baby!!
Excited to officially be the Head Football Coach of the Russell Broncos! Sad leaving the kids I have got to know so we’ll, but I’m excited for this opportunity. Can’t wait to get to work next Monday!
Coaches,
If you are looking for something simple for your students to follow, and easy to share with your staff and community members check out this site. They have a ton of simple at home workouts with diagrams.
Examples:
Here is the link to the KSHSAA Summer Outline I have put together. If anyone notices something that needs added or fixed let me know.

‘s energy & fire, I love the run game, and I love America 🇺🇸! So, I felt it absolutely necessary to stimulate the economy and add to the library! Can’t wait to dive into these tonight!

Over the last 2 1/2 years my weight has fluctuated from 345lbs-360lbs, hitting 363 at the heaviest. Today I hit 339lbs for the first time since Oct. 2016, which was also my first season as an HC.

has helped me reprioritize my life, and put health first.
Greatest weekend of my life! Married my best friend, and got to spend time with some important people. Safe to say she knows how much I like to run power 😅.
#LifetimeContract
Feel awful for those coaches and student athletes in the KC area tonight. Can’t imagine being the coaches talking to their athletes and explaining the decision that was made.
These will always be my dudes! Had a blast with them this week…even taught
@b_kerschen71
how to pass block 😉. Can’t wait to see what they do in the future.

Man, I am heartbroken right now. One of the highlights of being an educator is seeing our kids everyday, even if it’s a simple “good morning.”
To my little cherubs/turds, if you need anything or just want to chat, don’t hesitate. Be safe, we’ll get through this. Love you guys!
NDSU HC Chris Klieman on the difference in NDSU winning the championship.
“Our character and perseverance. We have a bunch of warriors and winners in that locker room.”
Going through tonight’s practice film and find a clip of
@CarlgrenChas
coaching up another TE. Chas’ season ended before it started with an ACL injury, but he has stayed locked in and continues to lead. Love it!
It’s unfortunate that our season had to come to an end, but I am thankful that we got to play an entire season with so much in question. A season full of life lessons and growth. Sad for our seniors, but excited to see what they do in the future.
All We Got, All We Need
Couldn’t be more proud of how these guys responded to a tough couple of weeks. Round 1 win, 52-20. Thanks to everyone that made the long haul to support these guys. See you in Riley!

This is a proud teacher moment! As someone that grew up in a time of forking/TPing yards & took part in their fair share of mischief... this makes me proud. Know that there’s no hard feelings, but I will find you and I will get you back! Also, you stepped in dog poop by my truck!
Man, I couldn’t be more excited about this! We will be using Virtual Reality Training this year to train our guys, and get extra reps without being out at practice. Testing it out tonight like a big adult child!

Our first week of marriage consisted of only
@ChickfilA
for lunch and dinner thanks to all the reception leftovers. A year later we have decided to make it a tradition to eat
@ChickfilA
for our anniversary dinner! Happy 1st Anniversary to my smokin hot wife & best friend!
Watched Heavyweights at our OL Dinner last night. Today at practice I look over and our starting OL is sliding back and forth screaming “IM FEELING SLINNY TONY!” 😂
How awesome is this! We got new battle ropes for the weight room and one of our students helped us save money by making rope attachments for the racks in his free time! Thanks, Cole!
#PantherPride
#ConStrong
We have added tablets to mount to our weight room racks. As a reminder to the kids that I am always watching, I put my face on all of the screens! I SEE YOU!
What a night for our guys! Battled a tough Wamego team and came out with a 4OT victory, 41-40. Battled all night, and responded great to adversity.

Started my birthday with a race and a few favorites, but those quickly got trumped this evening when I shook my head yes!

asked & I can’t stop smiling!
Didn’t get a chance to post this yesterday. Big Max Self running anchor for the thrower relay last night! Max let us know before the race he was about to be “Fat & Furious!”

“Winners, know that intangibles win the game..preparation..execution, physicality, toughness..they are willing to do the uncomfortable things to win the game”
Spent time the last few months reading, and listening to material by
@ZachDechant
, and his philosophy on Movement over Maxes. Have pulled back on some lifting to focus on our ability to move and improve our foundation.
#MovementOverMaxes
Sometimes it is bigger than the game of football. Concordia and Hugoton players and coaches came together last night following their playoff game to pray together in memory of Hugoton’s fallen teammate. Continued prayers for the entire community during this difficult time.
Another reason I love my job. Before I left Bluestem I gave one of my players my bucket hat. He sent me this from the beach today. Relationships last forever.
Thankful for these knuckleheads! I am 29, have been involved with football from a playing or coaching standpoint since I was in 3rd grade. My mom has only missed a couple games in that time, drove from VC to Goodland and to Scott City. My guys are her guys!

Regardless of the outcome, there are things bigger than the game. I have spent a lot of time talking X & O's, & life with
@coachgober
. The Kennedys & McKinley got to meet(yes, we both have a Kennedy). Grateful for our friendship, can't wait to watch our ladies grow up!
It’s become a tradition at JR Panther Camp for
@Hake3399
to have me demonstrate one of his drills. This year I got to go through some LB Indy time. Apparently these boys didn’t want me to move the bag! Nice try!
@KeyanMiller22
It’s officially here! Big thanks to our AD Scott Nuss for coming out to kick off the season with us at midnight. The countdown to Ellsworth begins.

Love how our kids have responded this season! 3 of our last 4 games have been trips of 4 hours, this week being 5 hours. We’re back on the road for another 4 hour road trip next Friday!

@ConcordiaFB
scores 34 straight and holds on for a 34-24 win. The Panthers snap a four game losing streak to the Trojans.
I have an unsigned Senior that is interested in running at the next level. Currently runs 100/200/4X1/4X4, but will most likely be a 400 guy at the next level.

Enjoyed recognizing our players tonight, and seeing our seniors off one last time. Thank you to the parents for the gifts, two pictures that mean a lot!
#PantherPride
My students/players like to let me know how weird I am...and I often like to reply with either “embrace the weird” or “I let my haters be my motivators!” Today one of my freshmen gave me this cup!
I spent 2 years getting to know Chase. I could count on him for a smile everyday, regardless of what may be going on. This breaks my heart. Please pray for the Augur family, and the Bluestem community.
Love my guys! Had a blast coaching
@daltonowen16
and
@KeyanMiller22
one more week. Even got to see a few of our players that made the 4+ hour trip down to watch.
#AWGAWN
Thankful that my Uncle Rex got to spend the last few years traveling around and watching football with these crazies! Thankful that our guys could give him another thing to look forward to on a Friday night. It’s more than a sport. RIP Uncle Rex.
A lot of progress being made. Our maintenance/custodial crew has been gettting after it the last couple days! Appreciate all the work they put in!
