If you get a C in a class that’s like a loss in college football. That’s what everyone can do on the field. D’s and F’s sorry you don’t get to play. B’s are competitive. A’s win games. What are you? Are you a winner? Okay great. Show me in the classroom!

recruits: Take notice of all your senior buddies that are scrambling right now because they didn’t initiate their recruiting process with realistic expectations. Be proactive. Investigate schools that are possibilities for you now. It takes time and the clock is ticking!
RECRUITS: Get your transcript ready in a PDF format! Coaches will be asking you to send them a copy so they can evaluate you for admission and eligibility. Your video is important but your transcript is your pathway! Ask your counselor or admin, they'll know how to get it to you.
RECRUITS - If an NAIA school is recruiting you, it means they have the opportunity to offer you athletic AND academic scholarships, much like D2 schools and different from D3.
@dwtigerfootball
2021 RECRUITS: If you haven’t been offered yet by a school don’t worry. There’s a lot of time to make a great decision and get to know the place you are going to end up at. All schools have a different evaluation process. Stay vigilant, work hard on the things you can control!

This is why full-body development is so important. Athletes need to develop balanced musculature, connective tissue, and energy demand systems when they are young and maturing. Stop specializing so early. Develop the whole athlete!

Right now I know one thing for sure. If you are on the “show” or “scout” team you have more opportunity than anybody to improve. You can improve faster than any player getting 2’s reps just because you get more reps. Embrace your opportunity!

2021 RECRUITS - Unless u are an FCS/FBS recruit, u shouldn't feel pressure to commit to any school at this point. LOTS will change this fall. Look out for your financial opportunity that will come as u apply for admission/academic scholarships. Patience!

Coaches, stop complaining about your schools and seasons getting shut down, especially in a public forum like twitter. It’s embarrassing to see the disrespect for admin, medical doctors, and public safety advocates from our profession. We’ll get through this together! ALL of us!
In the NCAA, on national signing day, you sign a GUARANTEED scholarship for a certain amount for the entire year. It’s clear and transparent. As coaches, we demand accountability. Don’t our recruits/players deserve the same from us?

🚨Recruits🚨The process is different between D1/D2 NCAA schools. If a D1 school offers u it’s usually the beginning of recruitment. If a D2 school offers u it’s usually if not always committable and near the end of the process. Know ur angles and even more ask tons of questions!
Get rich quick schemes don’t work in football. You do the work, the game rewards you. You get lazy, you get caught. You don’t know when your opportunity will come. When it does, will you be ready?

Recruits: 6 Tips for marketing yourself
1. Make academics your top priority. No matter what level you want to go...
2. Search for the schools you like, not just schools that like you.
3. Present professionally on social media, email, text. HS name, C/O, full name in Bio/signature
🚨RECRUITS🚨 If you want to get video evaluated, take the time to find a school's prospect questionnaire or ask a coach for one. This shows your real interest. A random email with just your hudl link probably doesn't get a click. Here's the PQ
@SFUFootball
At this point in the
#recruiting
game most D1/D2 schools have limited space. They know who they want. If you want to be recruited you have to make it easy. Update bios w/location, HT/WT, GPA, ACT/SAT. Research the program. Choose the ones you WANT to go to. Market yourself!
🚨Recruits🚨
Highlight Advice:
-Put your best clips first
-Circle/Highlight yourself BEFORE the play
-Total Highlight should be 2-3 minutes only
"Be Phenomenal or Be Forgotten" -Eric Thomas
Our FB guys are building capacity speed and power thru resisted runs, falling starts and build up accelerations. Good to see them applying movement QUALITY and expressing strength we’ve been building. Fine tuning our chain of energy and putting FORCE in the ground!

🚨RECRUITS🚨 - HIGHLIGHT VIDEO TIP: You get 1 minute to catch interest, or about 5-7 plays. Make sure your BEST and EXPLOSIVE plays are first! Coaches won't watch the rest if you don't wow them off the bat!

Being ELITE is hard. You have to be able to work when no one else will. You have to believe when everyone else doubts. People will tell you to quit. You may doubt yourself. It’ll come down to your WHY. Build a plan, put your ALL into it, and EXECUTE!

If your most recent offer is your “last” offer, will you be disappointed?? I hope not cuz you HAVE an opportunity! Too many focused on the result and not the process. Your school doesn’t determine your outcome. Only you can do that!
If you aren’t getting offers it doesn’t mean you are slept on! If you have a highlight video on HUDL and social media presence your on the lists. Be coachable, a good student, and ball out this fall the rest will take care of itself!

🚨 Recruits 🚨 if you follow me or post your video in my messages without any info, it makes it very difficult to ID you as a prospect. Make sure your name, grad class, and academic info are correct in your bio! At the very least post it with your video in emails and messages!
If you desire to be an elite athlete, I highly recommend removing "try" from your vocab. You will or you won't. You can or you can't. BELIEVE in yourself or know your limits. Either way, set your goals, work hard, and be the master of your destiny!

All you Jamal Adams haters gotta stop. Dude has 35 Tackles and 5.5 sacks, 9 QB hits, 1 INT in 5 games. Push that out for the full season he'd be on track for 100+ tackles, 15+ sacks, 3 INT's. Pro Bowler. SO again....stop.

As a coach, how can you not watch, listen, and understand current events!? YOUR PLAYERS definitely do. You can’t say mental preparation is important and then ignore outside influences that are affecting your athletes! They care so you should too!
#SportPsych
Separation in the preparation. It's a daily focus and a daily commitment. Are you taking the right steps? Do you have a process? If so, give it your all and let the results take care of themselves. Free yourself and remove all the noise, all the outside influences. Go be great!
Looking forward seeing our team perform this Saturday at our home opener! We are battle tested and building up that bank! Time to get paid! 💰🎒

Uncommittable offers are one of the biggest rug pulls in college sports. Protect yourself, ask great questions, and make sure you know what you are getting in to. How valuable are you to their team if they “offer” you but you can’t commit?
#Relationships
#Recruiting101
Waiting on a P5 offer???
Most schools offer upward of 200+ guys for less than 25 spots
There are kids who have had offers for months that those programs will not accept a commitment from
The guys who will pull out offers from those schools have been in CLOSE contact already
Young players wanting to get “noticed” - Don’t pay for what you can do yourself. Take this step-by-step recipe... College coaches will appreciate this. Remember, they’re looking for talent, but NEED the right people.

Good teams practice hard. Good teams lift weights. What are you doing to be elite? What makes you a difference maker? How WELL you do these things might be the difference. Your attention to detail and your execution could be your edge.

🚨NCAA recruits🚨 Know the difference between your cumulative GPA and your Core GPA. It's the difference between you being admitted or not, to you being eligible or not. Make your own path and be a champion of the process!
These early offers are great to see, but you need elite spring term transcripts AND elite video until we start talking about scholarships. Consistency, toughness, resiliency. Everyone loves a good play or a good grade. What can you repeat??
