Social media has caused y'all to believe that D-1 offers are just flying around in the wind. If you're D-1 you're D-1. If you're not, that's okay. Get a FREE/low cost education and play ball. D-2, D-3, Juco, Apprentice Schools...π€·πΎββοΈ
As a high school coach I think it's awesome to see so many kids putting in EXTRA work with trainers and speed coaches etc....but it is CRITICAL for the continuity and brotherhood of your team that you attend TEAM summer workouts. No replacing it π―
The emotion displayed by
@UVACoachBronco
towards his QB is REAL man. π’ It's why we coach the game, it's why we play the game, and it's why we LOVE THE GAME!πGreat game for the entire state of VIRGINIA!!!
Last Saturday about 45 athletes from the 540 surrounding counties came together at a park in Stafford and played football. They laughed, they competed and they had fun, together; peacefully. We saw the cops roll by several times but no one stopped...
This COVID situation has talented 2021's stressing and frustrated. With no camp season or even football season this class feels afraid that they will miss out! But I'm praying for peace and confidence! What God has for you is for YOU! ππ½ Keep believing! Keep working!βπ½
The grass is cut...
The lines are down...
I got coffee in one hand...
Practice plan in the other...
Only a select few know exactly what I'm talking about. π€π½
#Showtime
Just for the record, no coaches, companies, or anyone else other than YOU is gonna get YOU the offer. YOU work hard, YOU study hard and YOU have good character. That's how it's done! I send out films and answer character questions but I take NO credit in players' success.
Tomorrow night around this time players gonna start to separate into 2 groups:
-those who skipped the weightroom for fun
- those who skipped fun for the weightroom

Came back from a 35-7 deficit π crazy! Super proud of our squad! Game started Thursday night but we ended it today!

God is good!
When you're 1 of the final 4 teams the sting of the loss hits different. I've coached in 2 state semi's in the last 3 years and lost by a combined 5 points π A hall of fame coach told me, the way to get over this loss is to start lookin forward to next season! So 2020 on deck!ππ½
New semester = fresh start! πͺπ½
Need all you STUDENT-Athletes to pour your β€ into these grades and come out on top! Stop only getting extra help on the field, if you need help in your studies get a "trainer" (tutor). So many people wanna see you succeed! ππ½
I can't say enough about how much you guys overachieved! It has been a phenomenal ride this season down to the last 2 secs of last night. There's no other team I'd rather coach!

Took a pandemic & hrs alone to realize that God was trying to get my attn. So He could teach me to SEE myself the way He sees me, LUV myself the way He luvs me, FORGIVE myself the way He forgave me! To understand, God created me just to give Himself a chance to love me! I'm back!
And just like that my son is 1 year away from being 18. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DeLyn! (

I hear people talk bad and scrutinize 7v7 so often when they really don't even have a clue. When these kids come back and say "Coach, I had so much fun and learned so much" that's all that matters. As (non-profit) coaches we spend more money to fund these dreams than you can even
I know some high school coaches that work 12 months out of the year (literally) to make the same amount some of their players' parents make in 2 weeks. π€·πΎββοΈ I

y'all (us) for everything you (we) do! I appreciate you (myself) if no one else does!

Walked into ODU, the coach opened the door for
@lilseanUptopp
and said "Nice to meet you Sean, don't be surprised if I call you $eatbeltz."
Y'all believe they looking at your social media yet?
If you're a coach and one of my sons EVER calls you by your first name PLEASE correct them and tell me ASAP. π‘
#Respect
I'm a grown man and I still call my coaches "Coach".
It's a blessing to see all of these kids that I knew would get offers, get offers ππ½ if you haven't gotten yours yet keep the faith!!! He NEVER fails! βπ½
π€ it's poisonous when adults try to transfer their souring opinions into the minds of kids. You should teach these kids how to think and NOT what to think, there's a difference.
My son DeLyn (
@dballerp_7
) caught 4 passes for 61 yards in the final game of his junior season! I'm proud of how well he plays in big games! We didn't get the win, but we fought hard to the very end!!!
Don't understand why "college bound" athletes wouldn't take advantage of the FREE workouts after school with their teammates π€ oh well fall coming....π€·π½
I ππ½ for the high school athletes on both sides of this recruiting process. There are kids with a handful of offers and kids with empty hands that are equally being hit hard psychologically and emotionally.
Keep the faith and be at peace! βπ½
Wanna know how to change the narrative
@staffcosheriff
pull up on these kids when you see them doing good and not just when you think they're doing bad. Step outta the car and cheer them on or acknowledge them. We know there's a lot going on, but shine a light on the future ππ½β€
Congratulations to the 14U BeastMode team on their Championship victory at the Battle of Rocky Top! Shout out to YPL Elite (Charlotte) for a great battle down to the last play of the game! π€π½π₯βπ½π₯
Getting "offers" shouldn't be the end goal. Some players get to college and never see the field. Some never see a diploma. Some never reach their full potential. THE DRIVE TO BE GREAT!!! πͺπ½
Is it in you?π€
