There is only one person in a school building that better be on Tilt at 8 am on Monday mornings and that’s your strength coach! Kids respond to music and energy. Prepare your playlists, prepare songs for certain lifts, and watch your kids dominate!

Anyone can yell and make athletes throw up. Can you make athletes better at their sport and make connections that change lives?

Hey Coaches, Someday, someone else will have your job. They’ll sit in your office, wear your gear, and lead the program you once called yours. That’s not meant to diminish the importance of your work. It’s simply a reminder that we’re all replaceable professionally. But there are roles in your life that nobody else can fill. Your children only have one you. Your spouse only has one you. Don’t become so consumed with being excellent in a role that someone else can eventually fill that you neglect the roles that only you can fulfill. I’m all for pursuing excellence in your profession. But just make sure you're bringing that same commitment to the roles that only you can fulfill.

Being a good person is more important than being a good athlete. In the end, you’ll be judged more by your character than your athletic achievements.

Every player wants to be part of a winning team. Not every player is willing to live by the standards it takes to build one. Your standards aren’t defined by what you say. They’re defined by what you do.

Mental toughness, once developed, doesn’t just stay with you. You have to continue to work hard to maintain it. If you get lazy, you can become mentally weak again.

One day, you'll bury your dad, and that's the day you'll realize you lost the only man who genuinely wanted you to do better than him. Take care of him if he's alive.

“Be responsible for your own self determination, that’s accountability.” Great players understand that being coached is an opportunity. Getting better is a responsibility.

Game day results are built on practice day behaviors. If the product isn’t good enough, fix the process.

Just because you are the star player doesn’t mean you don’t have to help out your teammates. Be a humble leader!

Culture is the glue that holds a team together. With a strong culture, a team can overcome adversity and reach their full potential.

I encourage them to leave/quit if they don't want to be there. I can't/won't coach hostages. After that I'm very frank that I will not waste their time or effort. Once they realize that they're CHOOSING to opt in and that I work for them, life gets better for all parties.

“Do you have the discipline to execute the right thing, the right way, the right time, all the time?” Nick Saban Toughness is having the discipline to do what needs to be done, even when you don’t feel like it.

NOBODY TALKS ABOUT… the assistant coach who shows up every day, does all the little things, and never gets the credit. Every great program has one. 👏

You should be here. You’d be so proud of mom, Lenni, and I. Last night was for you. Love you dad.
