RECRUITS, COACHES, and PARENTS‼️‼️ If your athlete comes to our June 11th or 17th camp and and shows out, they can and will be offered. We want to see them in person! You will not regret it!!! If teams bring 10 or more prospects it is half off($20). Come get your 💼 👀‼️
I’ve woken up next to my fiancé while she was seizing, twice. She suffered through a miserable 15 day hospital stay. She fears, epilepsy may stop us from having kids, so our husky is like our child. He has epilepsy, as well. No matter how hard it gets, I will keep going for them!
In the morning, Victoria is being admitted into the epilepsy monitoring unit for 5 days. They will try to induce a seizure to identify the cause. If you don’t hear from me for a couple days, that is why. If you could please say a prayer for her, we would appreciate it!🙏🏽🤟🏽

of 2023…Coaches, take care of yourself. I’m very lucky I have a stubborn fiancé that made me go to the hospital when I was having abdominal pain. Little did we know it wasn’t abdominal, it was fluid in my lungs because I have pneumonia. I am fine, but very lucky.
As my fiancé and I folded laundry last night we discussed our journey together. One thing that hurts us is that people close to us look down on where we are now.
As we continued to talk, we realized that we have 4 college degrees combined. We both transitioned away from our
My Why: I want to make a difference in my children and athletes lives, the way my coaches and educators did for me. This young man will never understand how much I truly needed that today! 🔵🔴⚪️
In August, I will be returning to The University of Mount Union to coach the RB’s! I want to thank
@CoachGeoffDartt
for this incredible opportunity. I can’t wait to return to my Alma mater, and you better believe we we are going to have fun!

This story is special and hits home. In June I went out on a limb and DM’d
@CoachNardo27
because his story was incredible. I wanted to learn from him. Later that night, he liked the message.
Then a couple weeks later, I get a call. The caller ID says Nardo, Bryan. I said no way
Oklahoma State is playing for a Big 12 title on Saturday with a DC who came from Division II.
How Bryan Nardo got from Gannon University to here - and how Mike Gundy found him - is one heck of a story. Wrote about an improbable pick paying off:
There’s not a lot of people that know how hard this last year has been for my family and I. The opportunity to go 1-0, one more time with these amazing young men, is going to be very special! I will see you in Annapolis!💯🏴☠️😈
#NotDoneYet
I am currently looking for a college football coaching opportunity.
I will bring passion, high energy, enthusiasm, and a strong work ethic.
I am committed to preparing young men for success on the field and in life.
I am prepared to recruit at a high level consistently.
Your job as a coach is not centered around building a superstar. Your job as a coach is developing a player to be the best on the football field, in the classroom, and in life. Those players and coaches are the real superstars!
I am blessed and honored to call this my new home! I can’t wait to get to work! It feels really good to be home! Is it September 3rd yet,

Proud of our guys. The final result doesn’t define who they are or what they have become. The hard work, dedication and drive does! We will be back.

This morning at 2:30, after 46 hours of sleep deprivation, they were able to induce a seizure and catch it on her EEG. She is doing okay, and is finally getting some much needed sleep. I hope we get some positive news from the Dr. Today, so she never has to experience that again.
I appreciate all the positive words, and the kindness. It was a shock going on at first, then a blood clot scare, but we are good! Going to rest and recharge, then get back at it! Thank you again you all!
Please lord give us some much needed good news today! 🙏🏽 For the first time in her life, We are hoping to receive answers about her medical condition🙏🏽
I believe adversity is put in your life to strengthen and prepare you for what comes next. Yes, it may be challenging, but at the end of the day it will make you stronger and better equipped for the future.
I apologize for being away for a few days. 2023 started with pneumonia and then somehow a week later on my birthday I tested positive for Covid. Instead of looking at the negative, I’m grateful I’m okay, and hopefully got sickness out of the way for the next year! Have a day!💯
A leader is not the loudest member in the room. A leader is someone who’s actions speak louder than words on and off the football field. I don’t want to here how you lead, I want to see you lead. Challenge yourself today, lead by example not words.. Have a great day!
Proud of this team. Proud of the fight. Proud of the effort. Proud of the leadership within. These guys will be back. Bigger, faster and stronger, just wait… See you next year in Salem, prep starts now!
This journey isn’t easy, it’s challenging. Waking up and seeing your account negative day in and day out, can set you back. It can set your spouse back. Don’t let it, keep grinding. Believe you will get there and work. One day, all the hard work and struggles will be worth it!
LK asked me to find a VCR and hook it up on his office. I go over to storage and stumble upon every coaches dream. Tapes dating back to 1960, 40 year old playbooks and manuals. I FaceTime him and he hopped on his Golf cart and was there in 5 minutes. Best 2 hours of my life!
Blessings come when you least expect it. Excited for the week ahead and another opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life. Thank you, God🙏🏽❤️🤟🏽
I may look ridiculous, but when you succeed, I will be ecstatic for you, period! Regardless of how silly I look. Why? I externalize my emotions and the excitement and joy you see here, is pure happiness watching you accomplish your goals! Never forget that! 🔴⚪️🔵🏈
Excited to officially announce that I have accepted a position as the Offensive Coordinator for
@coachstew31
and the
@WalshSprintFB
program! I am extremely excited about the opportunity and ready to work!

Whatever you lose this week, you weren't supposed to have. What's meant to be yours is on the way, and it's even more amazing than you can imagine.
💯📈‼️
Learning from CFB HOF Coach Larry Kehres day in and day out while also being challenged to look outside the box from X&O’s to + & - reinforcement for player’s behavior has helped me as a coach and a man! I am incredibly grateful for him and every ounce of knowledge he has shared.
It will not happen cutting corners, taking shortcuts, or looking for the easy way!
There's only hard work, late nights, early mornings, practice, repetition, study, and discipline.

Yesterday, I became the first member in my family in over 50 years to earn a masters degree. My grandfather earned an MBA from Harvard in the early 70’s.

Most athletes and coaches are in the middle of camp. Long days, and short nights can cause you to become complacent. Don’t allow it. Champions are born during this time. Keep pushing, greatness is ahead! Happy 🐫 day!!
When I made the decision to leave teaching in the classroom, to pursue a dream teaching on the field, my best friend gave me her blessing. At that moment I knew, this was the right decision for us.

The best parts of life are the lessons learned along the long and curvy path towards goals and dreams you set for yourself and others. While the future is unknown I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to work with the incredible student athletes, Coaches, and administration at
Be purposeful in everything you do. Don’t be a filler guy. Every drill should have a purpose. Every rep should have a purpose. The players buy in, when they see you buy in! Go win the day!
We are approaching the greatest time of the year, are you ready? A lot of people prepare themselves physically but forget about mental preparation. Make sure your mind is right, the physical attributes can only take you so far. Have a great day!
A very wise man in our profession at the highest level once told me that we teach RB’s every step of a play from 7yds back to 3yds beyond the LOS, then what? Most coaches say, go be that dude or run him over. If that’s the case, I’m not doing my job. Teach them how to finish.
