Showing up matters
Body language matters
Doing your job matters
Empowering others matters
Eye contact matters
Firm handshakes matter
Giving your all matters
Keeping your word matters
Putting team first matters
EVERYTHING you do MATTERS!

Our organizational goal is to work along side football teams, coaches & players so that there is no disruption to weight training in the Spring, while working on conditioning & a variety of transferable skills on their off days. DM us to open the lines of communication. #WinWin
Congratulations to the Varsity Boys of the @kvrugbyclub on their @rugby_pa 2019 State Championship. Great to see this group of boys win it all again their senior year. Many of them where around on the Junior Team when I coached at KV. #RepTheWest #EarnTheHardware #CanIGetAnOorah – at Pittsburgh, PA

Read an article about @ClemsonFB Head Coach, @daboswinney, adopting some of the @AllBlacks rugby culture the other day. Just witnessed it play out as he accepted his Coach of the Year Award. So much respect for him to share this special moment w/ his mentor. #HumilityAtItsFinest – at Pittsburgh, PA
“If you don’t think football matters - are you kidding me?”
@ClemsonFB’s Dabo Swinney gives an amazing tribute to his mentor, Woody McCorvey, after winning Coach of the Year. #BryantAwards
This is the greatest thing that I have seen in awhile. Cooper Dawson committed to Syracuse, but let his friend announce the commitment. #MoreThanFootball – at Etna, PA
Not a Duke Basketball Fan, but I am now a Zion Williamson fan. He has a certain sense of humility & is a truly grounded young man. He is the type of player that you wish to coach in any sport. Always looking to be the best version of themselves. youtu.be/swoH636CmQY – at Pittsburgh, PA

I cannot praise rugby enough for what it has and is doing for Ellis and us as a family. If you are thinking twice whether rugby would work for chn with autism or other disabilities...read these.

Our Warriors Alumni, Paul Adams, gets the start tonight at Loosehead Prop for Army against St. Bonaventure. Best of luck to Paul & the rest of the Golden Knights. #BattleReady #ConquerTheDay – at Shaler Township, PA

It’s not where you’re trying to go that is the problem.... it’s what are you willing to leave behind in order to get there.

There are opportunities within our local area for WPIAL Football Programs to have systematic change w/ safer tackling techniques. Ultimate goal is to ⬆️ player welfare & ⬇️ concussions. We want players to become safer tacklers & remove the head from contact. #ShoulderLeverage – at Etna, PA
University of Washington def coordinator Jimmy Lake: "We're tackling better now than we have in years since we've changed to the Rugby style tackling. Now our guys are staying healthier, less concussions, less head injuries, and we're tackling better."
