Fun fact. Brice Turang played QB on the freshman football team at Santiago. He had dreams of playing baseball & football at Oklahoma.

“We’re not going to spend our time. We’re going to invest our time.”
Showing up takes time.
Getting better takes intention.
Don't just go to practice to complete it - go to practice to compete in it.

This has been a big reason why we went away from selecting team captains. You don’t need a title to lead.
“Everybody knows who the leaders are.”
Curt Cignetti said he has never voted for captains.
The longer I coached, the more I understood exactly what he meant.
Some years we had captains. Some years we didn’t. We selected them differently depending on the team.
But I also saw choosing captains create more problems than it solved.
So when coaches would ask me, “What if we pick the wrong captains?”
My answer became pretty simple:
Then don’t pick them.
Develop ALL of your leaders.
Build collective leadership.
Give kids opportunities to lead without needing a title.
Because Cignetti is right.
Your players know who the leaders are.
Your coaches know.
Your locker room knows.
Leadership rises to the top.
You don’t need a “C” on your chest to lead.
And giving someone the title of captain doesn’t suddenly make them a leader.
Sometimes it just gives the wrong person more influence.
That can be dangerous.
Develop everyone as leaders.
Then let leadership emerge. 🔥
Great stuff Gabe Nunez.
FCS receiving yards leaders in Week 5 games:

Special teams 101. On Punt when the return man is standing on his own 10 yard line and signals fair catch, find the Football and keep it out of the end zone.

Dan Lanning said on the Jim Rome Show today that UCLA coach Bob Chesney texted him on Saturday night and offered to help with Dante Moore any way he could.
"He text me as they were traveling back to LA and said, 'Hey, if you need my help with Dante or anything and he's still in LA, I'll go check on this guy. I'm giving the team off tomorrow; let me know.' It speaks to the kind of person he is. I've got a lot of respect for him and his program."
This is 💯 right on.
Titles can identify captains. But they can’t create leaders.
I love this from Marcus Freeman:
“We have a whole bunch of guys who are going to choose to lead. They don’t need a title to lead.”
That’s what great teams need.
Not 2 or 3 captains doing all the leading.
A locker room full of people willing to speak up.
Hold the standard.
Bring energy.
Help a teammate.
Do the right thing when nobody is watching.
Too many players wait for permission to lead.
They think they need a “C” on their jersey, need to be a senior, or need the coach to name them something.
You don’t.
Leadership isn’t a position you’re given.
It’s a choice you make.
Every single day. 👇

Cooper Kupp's mindset is a blueprint for the inner game of performance.
“From Monday through Saturday, I do everything I can to be the best version of myself…Once I step on the field, it doesn’t matter. The results don’t matter. I get to play from victory, not for victory.”
You can’t play free until you’ve done the work.
Preparation builds confidence. Detachment unlocks freedom.
When you combine the two, you perform from a place of peace, not pressure.

Make practice the best part of a kid’s day.
‼️ Joy is a competitive advantage ‼️
The mainstream perception of ‘good coaching’ is screaming at players, no joking around and no fun on the floor. A lot of coaches, players and fans view fun and hard work as an ‘either, or’.
Every competitive coach struggles with this. There isn’t one who hasn’t lost the joy amidst the grind.
BUT….
When JOY AND HARD WORK are in SYNC, it’s game over. 👇🏼

If it’s good enough for Kenneth Walker, then every high school kid could get their eyes on the coach and nod when he’s coaching them up

10 Inconvenient Truths of Coaching
1. Not every kid wants to be great.
2. You will often be misunderstood.
3. Some parents care more about playing time than team success.
4. Your best players aren’t always your best leaders.
5. No system works without buy-in.
6. Success brings criticism, too.
7. Culture isn’t built in a week, it’s built daily.
8. You can’t coach every player the same way.
9. Wins don’t always reflect your impact.
10. The job takes more from you than it gives… until years later.
Still worth every second.
Still a great profession.
