If you happen to be in a rough spot in life at this moment in time, focus your time and energy on cultivating and tending to your relationships with the important people in your life. Invest in your relationships and watch how things change.
Big shout out to all the high school coaches I had the pleasure of visiting with while I was on the road in East Texas. The hospitality was greatly appreciated. The grind doesn’t stop though... if you can play we will find you.

4x100 team is headed to Lubbock for the Regional Meet! Decided to pop off a big PR at 41.76! So excited and happy for these dudes!

Extremely proud of this group of athletes right here! They absolutely crushed 50 40’s today. Technically it was 51 because they wanted to do more than everyone else. There’s no shortage of work ethic & competitive drive in these young men. Tough times don’t last, tough people do.
Had a great time visiting with the coaching legend
@coachsamharrell
out on the recruiting trail. He’s an absolute stud and his story will teach you a thing or two about persistence and battling adversity. Appreciate it Coach!
Stop blaming others because you are not where you want to be in life. Leaders don’t enable this behavior. Accountability, responsibility, pride, and ownership are critical characteristics of productive members of society... pointing fingers is childish.

Your 100 Meter Regional Champion, Rondale Carridine! 10.60 in poor conditions. Mentally tough with an unwavering work ethic. He EARNED a birth to STATE!

If you’re in the Denton area and you want to come watch the 2nd Half of a top 10 Division II match-up between Midwestern State and Texas A&M Commerce come on out. It’s at Apogee Stadium in Denton at 2 pm. Free admission. Come root for the good guys... MSU!
I was recently asked by several people if I would make them meal plans or workout schedules for the summer. I threw this together and thought I would just share with everyone.
Last day of PC for these amazing athletes. They absolutely crushed this summer’s workouts! They showed up every single day ready to to go to work and faced whatever form of adversity I had to offer head on with no retreat. These girls WILL be successful, in athletics and in life.
Varsity Boys 4x100 dropping a PR and placing 3rd in the District Meet! On to Area! Xavier Randolph, Ryan Hamilton, Dereon Burns, and Rondale Carridine! Proud of these young men. Still got work left to do!

Dreams becoming reality for athletes across the nation tomorrow. The opportunity to play college football is unlike anything else. You will be gaining over 100 brothers who will have your back through thick and thin the second you sign your LOI. It’s more than just a game.
Big time sweep for the Texan Freshmen, JV, and Varsity basketball teams tonight vs. Grapevine to finish out the season! Battled through some ups and downs this year but the program is headed in the right direction

@TexanBasketball
If you are a MSU student that is in need of Volunteer or Community Service hours, the football program has several opportunities for you to be able to knock those out. DM me for details and RT this to spread the word please.

Watching Hurts come into the SEC Championship and lead his team the way he just did after going through what he’s gone though this last year... regardless of the outcome of the game... gives me chills man. Such a cool story! Nothing tops college football....
Connor Wilson with a 1st Place finish at the District Meet in High Jump. Blue Schaper with a 4th place finish. Moving on to Area!

I got a good one right here!! I’m excited to continue to build upon the relationships that

Rondale Carridine with another big PR in the 200 Meter Dash. 21.42 with a 2nd place finish and another opportunity to compete at the Regional Meet!
@GCISD_Athletics
Push through struggle and tough times. Make a conscious effort to make everyday count, good and bad, with intense focus on the now. Knowing with conviction better days are ahead.
Every person has two lives. Your second life starts once you finally realize you only have one.
Any athlete truly committed to getting better this summer must seek out and associate with REAL friends. Dudes that will call you out when youre slackin and hold you accountable for everything you say and do. REAL friends are exactly that... REAL!

I understand people wanting to take advantage of this never-ending rise in demand for houses across the country, but the vast majority of sellers are COMPLETELY out of bounds for listing some of these "shacks" at the price levels I am consistently seeing.

This is the real deal right here now. The annual Army v. Navy game is much bigger than football. There will be no shortage of sacrifice and commitment out on that field when they square off.
"From the very beginning, it's always started the same way."
Last year, we began The Army-Navy Game with a celebration of every man and woman who has committed their life to protecting our country.
Can’t think of anyone else more deserving of these awards than these two dudes right here. Two great football players, but even better teammates. Led by two of the best coaches in the country!!!

Sitting next to high-performers can increase your performance by 15%.
Sitting next to low-performers can decrease your perforamance by 30%.
Either be the high-performer or choose wisely who you decide to surround yourself with. 🤔
Don’t expect the Lord to come into your life and bless you with what you’ve been asking for without making the necessary lifestyle changes he wants you to make to better align yourself with him. It’s a two way street of sacrifice & reward.
Aftet lots of prayer and talking with my family I am blessed to announce my commitment to Evangel University! Thank you to every coach, teammate, family member, and friend for helping me achieve this goal and dream of mine! Time to get to work!

You might be able to get away with it now, but eventually a bad diet will catch up to you. Discipline in your diet must be addressed before you start to see lasting results. Healthy fats, minimal sugar intake, and exercise. It starts in the kitchen.
My Gov. & Econ. classes have had a few great discussions the last couple of days concerning the proposed $15 per hour minimum wage in the newest stimulus bill. There is a major ripple effect to this that needs to be considered! The bill will be voted on by the Senate tomorrow.
Got to watch my guy do his thing out on the field again today! Word on the street is
@bboyko69
will be co-starring with
@TheRock
in the newest blockbuster comedy focused on 2 night club bouncers in Vegas. One seasoned vet and one rookie. That’s just the word on the street though.
Skill players... make sure you are always lovin’ up your O LINE! These guys go to battle for you every snap. When you score, they score. Turn around and wait to celebrate with your big men in the end zone. Don’t make them chase you down.
Persistence vs Consistent: Both are undoubtedly great characteristics. But if you’re chopping down a tree, PERSISTENTLY chopping at it will get the job done, CONSISTENTLY hitting the same spot while PERSISTENTLY chopping at it will get the job done faster & more efficiently✊🏼
Does anyone else feel like scooping peanut butter out of a half empty jar is like playing an impossible game of Operation? No matter how hard you try, you’re touching the inside edge of the jar and getting peanut butter on either your fingers or the handle of the knife. Accept it
Laziness and instant gratification are major behaviorial issues that are contributing to bad habits of the majority of individuals in this country... which are directly affecting most aspects of today’s society in my opinion.
Bout to start a bEAST Texas movement in Wichita Falls... We want those DAWGS from out East to come be a part of something special.

Life Lessons:
Discipline - comes off the edge and turns the ball back inside. Does what he is coached.
Sacrifice - gets KO’d doing his job so his teammates in pursuit can make the play.
Toughness - gets destroyed and pops right back up with a smile.
I. Love. This. Game.
I am blessed to announce my commitment to Yale University! Thank you to every coach, teammate, family member, and friend for helping me achieve my dreams!

Don’t ever give yourself an easy way out. Stay in relentless pursuit of the goals you’ve set for yourself and keep moving forward. Turning back is not an option. Burn your ships.
Continuing to break promises to yourself by lacking in self-accountability and self-discipline will create negative momentum that will begin to snowball throughout your day. Ultimately, affecting future decisions and keeping you from being where you want to be...
This dude right here NEEDS to be back in a locker room leading young men! From the water boy to the starting QB, H has a way of making everyone feel special and part of the family! I was extremely lucky to be in these locker rooms as a kid. Had me ready to suit up!

@racersfootball
won at Austin Peay on October 8th, 1994.
If you need me, I'll be over here looking for a wall to run through.
We ask these dudes to reach the wide 9, dig out the tight 7, manhandle the 6, fill the hole & square up a LB, break down and block a DB in space, recognize and pick up the blitz in pass pro, etc... Keep the big man hungry and reward him for his efforts from time to time!!!
It’s an amazing thing seeing these young men I had the opportunity of teaching and coaching during my first ever high school job all grown up. Last time I saw most of these dudes, they were awkward and crazy freshmen. This profession is truly awesome. Proud of all y’all!!
Just one example of corporations putting greed above the health and well-being of the society… Corruption led people to chronic disease and sickness and these dietary recommendations are still being used today. This behavior is not new.
Yes Sir!! Can’t say enough good things about this man. He took a chance on me at UNLV and I’m forever grateful. One of the best and most hard working coaches out there. Love seeing good things happen to good people in the coaching profession.

Hold yourself accountable, attack the day head on and aggressively, do what you say you are going to do, and start building positive momentum you can feed off of all day.
We are in need of volunteers to help us out with our Junior Day on April 13th. Any MSU Student Athlete or just Student wanting to help the football program please DM me for details. It’ll be a great opportunity for community service hours if you need them.
