PLAYERS: Nobody is entitled to playing time. It is earned during your training and practice sessions. Those sessions start now.

An open letter to parents from a high school football coach ...

Coaching is teaching…What does a good teacher look like?
1) They have incredible patience
2) They understand it isn't what they know that matters, it's the information the student can retain and use skillfully that makes them an effective teacher
3) They know that all students learn differently and adjust accordingly to how their students learn
4) They communicate with different tones and different patterns as “boredom” will set in when everyday, every message, every movement sounds and feels the same.
5) They continue to learn from their students because the greatest teacher to them is the ones they've taught
6) They are open to criticism and know they aren't always right
7) They respect the unique histories of every students background and realize we all are who we are because of the backgrounds we were born into and our only influences are the unique circumstances we lived separately from any other humans lived experiences
8) Their greatest gift is the moment they see the student finally “get it”…finally master a task they believed was impossible… and for that single moment all the frustration was worth it

As an Assistant Coach, it is your responsibility to bring your Head Coach solutions, not create problems.

“Once you get to the 2nd or 3rd quarter of a game, motivation is gone.
What’s sustainable? Inspiration.
Built on two qualities: love and ownership”

The two kinds of sudden change:
1. The kind that appears out of nowhere.
2. The kind that's been building and expanding and you're only now noticing it.

Critical E+R=O lesson:
"Earn through your response what is denied by your circumstances."
• Circumstances insert friction, barriers, and adversity between you and the outcomes you want. This is the way life is and always will be.
• If you depend on favorable circumstances, you will lose.
• When circumstances are not in your favor, your response must be better and more skilled--good enough to overcome the circumstances--or you will lose.
• When you fail to earn the outcome you want, don't blame the circumstances. You had a chance to earn the outcome you wanted by responding better to those circumstances, but you didn’t. Figure out why and do better next time.
• Meet every challenge, problem, or limitation in your circumstances--no matter how inconvenient or unfair--with discipline in your response.

Knowledge without action doesn’t count. The only knowledge that matters is the knowledge you act on.

Get your boys into football and watch the transformation!
Football uniquely challenges boys in ways that boys need but rarely get in today’s society.
We need football because it provides an environment where boys can become young men, and young men can become grown men.

Get in the weight room with your teammates and experience some shared pain. If you are lifting on your own, or with your Dad/uncle/trainer, show up for testing day and show the progress you’ve made. Every situation is different but results don’t lie.

‼️Don’t say in October that your coach didn’t give you a shot.
💪You get your shot every single day in the weight room, on the track, and in practice.
👉You have 220 days until the first game.
🔑That means you have 220 shots to get on the field.
⁉️What will you do with them?

At @WHSWarriorFB1 season-ending banquet last night, a nice 20-minute video from players spanning 3 decades in tribute to retiring assistant coach Steve Magri, Jr. A true legacy of the Ultimate Warrior - give a look

The UNH Football family mourns the loss of former Wildcat Chris Jeannot '12. Chris was a dedicated teammate and a valued member of our program. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who knew him. Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat.

Who do I trust?
I trust the kid who’s nice to his parents, takes school seriously, and respects his teammates.
Because that kid has high character, and high character doesn’t take days off.
