After starting the season off 0-3, I find myself staying up late at night trying to find material on the Internet that will motivate our kids to take their practice to the next level. I am reminded of a quote "If you always do what you have always done, then you will always get what you have always got!" Anonymous
I just wish for one week our kids would come out to practice and fly around for 2 hours for three days in a row. We have so many kids with bumps and bruises and they don't practice because of them, and they don't realize the impact they are having on the outcome of Friday nights games!
I want to remind the 40-45 kids that spent all summer in the weight room, that it was not for nothing. I personally have seen huge changes in individuals. When the individuals start leading the rest of the team in the right direction on an everyday basis we could, NO, we will be a very good Football team.
When I watch sporting events, I watch how athletes move. I watched our VB team play a few times the last few weeks and see that we have a lot of potential, but the players don't play out of an athletic position all the time, our football players do the same thing. I want all of the athletes that I coach in the weight room to buy into the fact that I am training you to be a better athlete. Trust that what we do in the weight room will transfer onto the athletic court or fields. I know some of them think I just train them to be a bigger and better football players and that couldn't be further from the truth.
