Dear speed coaches, skill trainers, and position gurus,
If you want us to support you and what y’all do, make sure you support us and what we do. Their is NO alternative for TEAM summer workouts. Outside training supplements what we do, not replaces.
Sincerely,
Every HS Program
MOST HS athletes:
-Attend workouts
-Attend practice
-Attend team events
ELITE HS athletes:
-Work on skills AFTER attending workout
-Work on weaknesses AFTER practice
-Hang with team AFTER a team event
Don’t talk about being a D1/D2/D3 athlete when you work like MOST HS athletes
Not a fan of the headset throw. We teach our players to stay composed, and as coaches have to do the same.
Headset throw from a Coach is equal to a helmet throw/slam on sideline from a player (in which coaches hate)
Stop glorifying it as Championship caliber coaching.
If you’re a young/new coach, do yourself a favor and get either a SPED or a core subject certification. PE/Health will very rarely help you get the job you want.
Today we had a Sophomore (QB) who hasn’t missed a workout all summer EARN the right to choose his jersey number. When asked what number he wanted, he decided to forfeit his pick to a Senior WR instead.
That’s Leadership!
A number doesn’t define you!
HOW YOU PLAY defines you!
Had an 8th grade Mav tonight go into cardiac arrest on the field. Praise God our trainer put her hours of training & education to work, doing everything in her power to recessitate him (CPR & AED).
He is currently stable in the hospital. Send your prayers to him & his family.
INCREDIBLE night for MISD! Thank you to
@DrJGib
and the MISD Board for making it happen:

My brother, friend, supporter, source of strength. My heart hurts. My head is spinning. Nobody loved us the way you did. Nobody loved these kids the way you did. We will make you proud!
Fly high brother. Keep watch over the Mavs. We miss you already.
Best thing I’ve learned as a HC:
Let the coaches on staff coach! Set the expectation, and then stay out of their way. There is a good chance they can teach you, the HC, a thing or two. Let them! It makes you better, makes them better, makes the program better.
Dear Parents,
Let your kids struggle. Let your kids fail. Let your kids face adversity. You are not doing them any favors by bailing them out all the time, or making excuses for them. Saving them now hurts them in the long run. Force them to take ownership.
Sincerely,
Coach
In honor of track season:
You want to find out what type of “fight” your kids in your program have inside of them?.... put them in the 400m and see what happens.
You’ll find out real quick.

Football District 9-5aD2 will choose to stand together this season.
Teams will wear this sticker on helmets as a testament that it is BIGGER than just a game. We choose to use our platform to bring people together!
Unity and Equality!
Thank you
@AuDesigns
for the help.
Some of the best times as a Coach are when players come into the office just to chill, do homework, watch film, etc. No words need to be said, nothing more than “what’s up”, but just being around each other makes ya feel better. I love the camaraderie of this profession.

Coaches,
Be ready!
We will be asked to do more by administration. We will be expected to do more by faculty
& staff. We will still be required to perform on the field/court. We will still take care of our students.
Be the team player we expect our athletes to be!
E+R=O
Today we had a player choose not to do Mav Maker. At the end of the workout I asked for 1 guy to sacrifice his lunch to go through the ENTIRE workout again to make up for the individuals lost work..... we had 13 stay. LEADERSHIP! It’s working!

2. Cook off registration fees go into benevolence fund
3. Bring a bunch of folks together
4. Do what TX does best.. Coaching and BBQ

Absolutely love this picture!
This wasn’t a special day, just another day. Had a crew working on the field.... in an empty stadium.... except for one man! (Look closely at bottom right of stands, against the red rail)
That’s just who he was!!! It was his sanctuary.

Dear Athlete 1,
The weight room was open 8 days this break. You lifted twice. Don’t talk to me about a scholarship until you decide to be dedicated on your own.

Got some positive news from the family and doctors today. Skeet is a fighter! Last thing he said to me before going back to ICU was, “Going to beat this for these kids”.
His biggest concern wasnt his situation, but rather how he was going to watch workouts in quarantine.
Since moving to QB four weeks ago, Savion Williams,
@iamsxee
, has accounted for 1333yds of offense in his 4 starts, 16TDs. Definition of a leader! Team had a need, and he has stepped up in a HUGE way!
Proud of you, Sae! Keep leading!

It’s easy and fun to chum it up with the power 5 coaches that come into the office to recruit your kids...but make sure you take that same energy to talk to the D2,D3,NAIA coaches too. It’s about promoting kids... not you.

I hate it ended the way it did. But these seniors went through more this year than most go through in an entire HS career. They never hung their heads, and always fought to the end! They left their legacy!
Honored to have been able to be apart of their story.

When the kids pack into your office, let their guard down, and just be themselves. A lot of laughs! Best part of the job.
Coaches, don’t forget why we do it!
It all about the TEAM, it’s all about the KIDS.
Whoever thought up this idea is a GENIUS!

A lot have been asking:
We built this facility in Marshall for $2.6mil… from a grass field to what you see below.
Now with current pricing you’re looking at $4.8mil.

. Investment is a matter of choice not a matter of chance. Multiple purpose use across fine arts, ROTC & all sports. There are creative ways to be good stewards of tax dollars & invest in school involvement.
