VB Players gettin it done!

I put a lot of Football clips on here, so here is a Volleyball clip of a pretty good College program.

 For the girls that have been coming to Summer workouts this is for you, good job and keep the hard work up!

This sums it up!

This video here is about QB's, but lets take it a step further and say this is what most of us get into coaching for. Teaching young men to better one self not for themselves but for the ones that will rely on them. I don't want to have the best QB to say I have the best QB, I want to have the best QB to make the team and the program the best it can be.

Please watch this video and take it to heart and ask yourself if you can do something more to better yourself.

DI guys doing the little things!

My summer mantra is going to be "You must act like it, before you become it". If you want to be a state champion, you must act like it, before you become it. I think we as a football program and as a athletic department are ready to go to the next level, but we first need  to get everyone on the same page and start acting like  Playoff caliber teams. EP Athletes need to start asking themselves these little questions.

How do I carry myself in front of the community, school, peers, younger athletes?
Did I do everything today that I could have done to make myself better?
Am I setting a good example for the up and coming Eagles? (Remember what you had to look up to as an 8th, 9th grader, was it good leadership or bad?)
Did I act like a Champion today?

Perfecting the little things is a must if you want to make it to the next level of any profession. That's why you see DI athletes trying to look like and mimic Professional athletes in their drills and skills. This video clip is of Auburn University doing the little things. If they practice these things then we should be doing it as well.

Athletic Rankings are Out!!!

I have completed the Athletic Rankings for those of you that wanted to check them out! I am sorry recent graduates I had to take you off but I can print out a sheet that has your rankings if you let me know!

Girls Athletic Ranking:

Boys Athletic Ranking:

I hope you not only look at your Ranking but look at your teammates ranking! It is okay to compete and beat your teammates in the weight room in the right way. You must battle them and encourage them at the same time. Your team is only as strong as the weakest link!

Good job everybody on finishing the year strong and we as an athletic department are much stronger then we were a year ago. 1st week of Summer Training was great I hope the numbers stay up the entire summer.

Have a good weekend & see you all on Monday,

1st Week of Summer Lifting!

First Week of Summer Training is over and it was a very successful one at that. EP Athletes made a big commitment this week and we averaged over 50 athletes everyday and today Thursday we had 66 athletes here today. We have been having some in coming 9th graders come join us and they are going to get pretty strong if they keep coming! This 1st week was by far much better then last year and that was a big step from the year before.
I must say it makes me very happy to see all of these athletes buy in and get better everyday.

My goal is not to make kids like me, I want athletes to come back 3-6 years after graduating and say thanks for making me better, and thanks for holding me accountable. I want to set my athletes up for success in the future as well as being the most prepared for their athletic endeavors they partake in right now.

Hopefully by the end of tonight I will have the updated Athletic Rankings on here!

1st Week of Summer off to a great start!!!

Smoke and Mirrors

This is some great defensive confusion. I like the saying here: Cloudy minds make slow feet!

Good spread clips here of Auburn:

Max Week is here!!!

After the 1st day of Maxes, our athletes have yet again surpassed my expectations of them. Everyone maxed in the Power Clean. We have 14 male athletes that Power Cleaned 225 or better and 3 that got 275 or better. We have 7 female athletes that Power Cleaned 135 or better and 3 that Power Cleaned 165 or better.
Day #1 was a great success and I am looking forward to day #2 which will consist of the 20 yard Dash, Vertical Jump and the Bench Press.

The football program has expectations that skill players run a 2.85 in the 20 yard dash in order to play Varsity. As we all know there are always exceptions to every rule. We are not different, we have a few LB's that have good FB speed on the field because of their field awareness and desire to get the football.

I will try to update once a day and have the final athletic rankings done by Sunday June 6th!
