With the All-Region Teams coming out; I just want to say how blessed I have been to be a part of some great groups of men over the last few years.

You all have accomplished so much & mean so much to me! Thank you for allowing me to enjoy the ride!❤️🖤
Great effort by Texas Tech OLB. Nobody that has ever played football has made every tackle. But it’s the willingness to try again, when we fail, that makes us great!
Blessed to have an opportunity to work with

🐝 !!All glory to God for creating this amazing opportunity! Thankful for all the opportunities God has allowed me to be a part of as I walk do this journey of which I have been called!
This is the Goal of Defensive football. To have a QB of the defense that knows what is going to happen before it happens!

This is y’all proud to coach y’all. I’m just trying to groom some more like y’all! Proud to be your Coach!
🔥D-linemen aren’t typically known for being students of the game, but if you can create a front that knows what’s coming before the ball’s snapped, you’re sitting on gold.
Here’s an example of one of the greatest students of the game, Luke Kuechly.
@DodgeFootball
It is important that we stay in shape during this time! Here is a guide to follow. On the “off” days make sure you are sprinting, not just running/jogging. We need to sprint. That means anywhere from 5 to 20 secs as fast as you can go!
#GetBetterEveryDay
We need to to quit worrying about who did it or who gets the credit. If you see a problem come with solutions, take pride in what you have and hold others to a higher standard. Who cares who gets the credit? It doesn’t say Johnny 28 the other team 0... It is a team effort.
Pick up the water bottle:
It’s about subscribing to a certain train of thought with how we operate and do things... The action always supersedes the moment.
I’m preaching this everyday
@DodgeFootball
Hold your teammates accountable every single day, in the classroom, the weightroom, & and on the field. How you do anything is how you do everything. Don’t let a great opportunity slip away!

2020-2021 you are 0-0. What you do over the next 8 months will determine your success. Live in the past and it will hinder your future. Learn from those before you, build, attack and EARN your success. No looking back. Blinders on. No one cares. Work Hard[er].
Led to team in rushing, TDs, Tkls, & TFLs…. Squats over 550, runs 10.7, and he’s become a great leader and teacher for our team. This guy deserves everything he’s getting. Proud of you Matt!
Coaching is about the example that we set for the young people in our lives. What does it matter if you coached them and won games, though failed to lead them to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ? Only One win matters

Huge Shout out to Javan Smith! This kid has played lights out in the first few weeks. Accounting for 14 Solo Tkls last week and a huge blocked punt!
#BlockParty
Always exciting watching this young man compete!
@DodgeFootball
We had a special group of young men this year. We allowed 13.4 PPG and held 9 of our 11 opponents below their scoring average for the year. Didn’t allow more than 21 points defensively in any game this season. Super proud of this group and what they have accomplished!

Don’t take it for granted. DC juniors you have 10 guaranteed games left... How we perform in those games will be a direct reflection of the example you set for your team and how you hold your teammates accountable everyday along the way!!
#SetTheStandard
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. Can we trust you? Are you 100% committed? Do you believe in the

@DylonWorthen
In addition, Dylon was named All-Region Defensive Freshman of the Year!! Kid has a huge future ahead!
“You can't win with talent alone. Everybody has to have a commitment to a standard of excellence and a commitment to do the right things on and off the field.”
Talent is not enough to guarantee success.
Talent might provide a foundation, but it's what you do with that talent

College Coaches you cannot go wrong with this guy
@Damarion_6
he is a hard worker, a leader and a great person! Take notice because he was one of the best LBs in our tough region and he compares with the All State kids from last year. He will have a huge 2023 campaign! 🎥 💯

Coach! It has been super fun sharing the sideline with you and ALL the WC coaches! Super proud of how we fought! A total TEAM effort! On to the next!

‼️Miss you guys! Stay safe! Get creative share some pics or videos of y’all working‼️ I’ll share some for y’all to get some ideas and let’s compete‼️
Amen! Quit finding reasons why you can’t and instead tell yourself why you can! If you think you can or think you can’t your probably right! Remove can’t from your vocabulary and stop allowing yourself to place limitations on what you can do!
#mindovermatter
It's no secret. Successful teams are loaded with teammates who hold each other accountable. It's a team, a group effort, coming together to achieve a common goal & doing what it takes to achieve that goal. Without that, even talented teams will be mediocre at best. Be a teammate.
This guy can flat out play! He ran the show in the backend for us this year and led our team in INTs. He’s tough, physical and gritty! High football IQ as well as one of the smartest all around people I have ever been around!
Mentally tough athletes never give up in games. No matter how many points they’re losing by, they remain hopeful and give their best effort for the entire game.
💯💯💯

it’s easy to let yourself cheat when you aren’t invested in the team and you don’t care about your teammates... if you love the team and the

it will be really hard for you to cheat yourself or to allow others to cheat.2020 what’s your legacy?
There is power in a hug, pat on the back or an arm around the neck. Sometimes we forget that and due to Covid physical touch has been frowned upon. Making an effort to hug my guys today because I love them and appreciate them for who they are.
This kid can ball!! Is a Freshman!!! 6’3 235 and will strike you! Just flat out makes plays! Played in the trenches and dominated in one of the toughest regions in the State!
Also our safeties played lights out all year and made critical plays that kept the big play from happening all year. Definitely blessed to have had three play great for us this year! Super proud of these men!

Any environment that is void of Empathy & Empowerment is set up for failure & incapable of sustaining success.
As a HC I never want to be the smartest guy in the room & if my assistants are voicing the same concern you better listen.

"When you get to the game everybody wants to win, everybody wants to play well. What did you do to get to the game? How did you prepare? How did you practice? What kind of habits did you create?"
Nick Saban talks sense of purpose/habits. Important life message, not just football
@DodgeFootball
champions only know one way to do things and that is to win in every phase of their lives! You are what you repeatedly do! Are you trustworthy? Everyday you are selling something... the question is, is it worth buying?
#Theprocess
#winlife
Go to class. Sit in the front.
Listen to the teacher. Take notes.
Eat well. Take care of your body.
Watch film. Take hard coaching.
Embrace practice. Work hard.
Hit the weights. Get good sleep.
Chris Beard on winning the day:
15 could have made the tackle after he missed but he pouted. 13 didn’t and good things happened. Our mindset often creates opportunities or hinders them. Don’t be defined by your circumstance, keep fighting no matter the situation. That’s not a football thing that’s a life thing
#TurnoverChain
Shout out to Ta’Michael Reynolds his effort last week was probably the best on the team in the 2nd half and he created a huge turnover for us on special teams!
@DodgeFootball
Congrats to Dodge Co’s own
