Kids need football, today was hot, it was a struggle, they have been on their butts for 3 months. But there was ZERO complaining, everyone gave a 100 percent, and they were happy to be working out and be with their teammates again!!!
Went to a high school playoff game, the stuff fans yell is getting a out of hand, the coach getting yelled at has won 4 state championships in his time at the school and you would think he's never had a winning season, somethings gotta change or you won't find coaches or refs!!!
Well its official now, I want to thank everyone at Aquin over the last four years. All of the coaches, admin, parents, and especially the players. I am excited about the opportunity at Oregon and to compete against the best in the Big Northern. Time to get to work. Lets Go Hawks!
I maybe in the minority, but I am ok with a spring football season, my biggest fear is starting in the fall playing a game, we get a bunch of cases, seasons over. Condensed spring season, shorter playoffs and let's do it, but spring sports must play also, end of spring/summer
Well life changed for the better this weekend, my wife and I welcomed our first son, Baker William Kundert, healthy little boy and mom is doing great!!!
As a coach the best way to motivate kids today is through modeling what you want. Want kids to work hard in the weight room? Then you should work hard in the weight room. Want kids to run to the next drill? You run to the next drill. Drill sergeant doesn't work anymore!!!
Coaches often get credit for having an impact on their players, however it doesn't get talked about enough the impact players have on coaches, this group of seniors are has made major impact on my life, I love everyone of these guys and couldn't before proud of them, Go DAWGS!
At this point we are all that kid who thinks he is a fullback but his team is empty all the time so he has to play guard, he does what is best for the team, regardless of what you think about Covid, lets do our part to have a season, wear masks, social distance, we get 1 chance!
Not going to make a woulda, shoulda, coulda post about not playing tonight, I found out my 1st year as a HC using that vocabulary gets you beat and one thing my guys are going to do is keep getting better for the spring, were viewing this as an opportunity not a setback
As a high school teacher 3 things I will never understand. 1. High School boys obsession with congregating in the boys bathroom, its a bathroom its gross. 2. Girls wearing jeans with holes so big they are basically shorts. 3. Buying Air Forces and walking so you don't crease them
Suggestion to offseason coaches ref a sport. I was at a JV wrestling tournament all day, its solid pay, lets me still be involved in a sport I grew up around, and the best thing is it really makes you appreciate the refs who do the games we coach, its not an easy job!!!
@IHSA_IL
is doing a disservice to any kid who doesn't live in a large city and has the choice of different football specific facilities go to. Or think about the kid who only can afford to work out at his HS. Let us train 10 kids at a time I promise us coaches will make it work.
All the people out there not listening to the experts about social distancing and what you should be doing in this time, will be the same people throwing fits when there is no football next year. I WANT football, I'm amazed you have to beg people to not be idiots
Talked to a sr. FB player yesterday, who was a great player for us, we talked about what changed from soph to jr year, he was pretty average as a soph, he told me he just decided he wanted to be the best player on the team and his work ethic matched that, mindset is everything!!
Getting pretty excited to have the chance to be back in the weight room with our guys and continuing to hope for some good news, any season is better than no season, spring sports should be the priority but our guys will be ready whenever the time comes
#LetThemPlay
If you are a coach at any level, especially the youth level and all you do is yell at your players:
1. They will not enjoy the sport
2. They will not enjoy being coached
Both are detrimental to them as they move forward in athletics
Met up with a some old players, felt like old times. It's awesome to hear about their lives. There was also alot of "remember this coach or remember that", so for all coaches out there keep in mind what your doing is creating memories your players will hold on to forever!!
Well this year has been anything but normal but hearing today that we will get to play some football is possibly the best birthday present I've gotten in a while, let's work together and make sure we get to do this, extremely happy for all sports
It's pretty crazy that policies like these need to be put in place, but here we are, unfortunately there will continue to be more coaching openings as well as referee openings without policies like these put in place, sad state of high school athletics
Moving forward parents/fans that have a concern with our coaches must wait 24 hours to speak with that coach. Any parent/fan who confronts a coach on the day of the game will result in a 12 month ban from all Kankakee Athletics events.
If you say you just want an opportunity to play ball at the next level, but you continually waste opportunities to get better in the weight room, you are lying to yourself!!!

Went to my high school this weekend to workout and there was a middle school basketball tourney going on, I stopped to watch the end of a game, it was tight there we some close calls as in all tight games, it end and as team we shaking hands a parent was already out on the floor,
As a new HC one thing I learned this season through games we played, as well as games I've seen,(playoffs specifically)is Special Teams Matter Big Time!!!!!!
College football is a business at all levels, our D3 HC always said he is trying to recruit our replacement which made us work harder in the offseason, but coaches on here saying looking for transfers seems like a slap in the face to guys still on the roster am I wrong?
Ted Lasso has immediately moved into my top 5 shows of all time and as a football coach has me questioning if my real calling is coaching a Premeir League team in England!!!
Ok strength coaches out there tell me positives and negative of using a band for glute-ham raises, I tried it today felt it much more than not using a band, disregard that I'm fat and out of shape
Great night of clinics with the

, cant wait for tomorrow night, best advice I heard tonight was from Cedar Hill HC
@CarlosLynn
"kids make mistakes if they didn't, we would need to coach them, be patient", excited for the rest of the week
@ParkerResources
Build relationships with players asap, I like to identify 3 or 4 kids earlier on who I feel will be leaders and buy in to my program and use them as an extension of myself to get buy in from other kids. Then weight room!!!!!!!!!
Illinois High School Football Coaches, more curious than anything, does anyone have a running document of teams looking for games, or teams that had to cancel? If not should one be created?
Man the NFL has zero idea on how to handle these suspensions!!! Calvin Ridley should be furious right now after seeing Watson only get 6 games, what a joke!!!

MLK showcase, get a look at this kid big things coming for him
@EDGYTIM
Great day at the Byron Clinic! Best part about football is no matter what scheme you run, you can always take away something from another coach that can improve your team!
In the March Madness of food in my 1st hour class today Cheeseburger took the win over Mac and Cheese. Sushi a surprising 16 seed made it to the sweet 16 and in a very disappointing performance Pizza was ousted in the sweet 16

fantastic coaching site. Coaches out there if you are not checking out you are missing out. Great stuff on there and a large library to choose from.
