Being a GA was the greatest football learning I could have had. Doing all the dirty work; from film break down, to drawing cards, to running scout team O, to class and grade checks. Nowadays many people want a title before being willing to serve and work behind the scenes.
No support for this decision. Men and champions have been formed from this program over the years. There is no substitute. I love you Real Cougs! My brothers.
After a rich 55-year legacy, Cougar Football comes to an end. We are proud of all who played and coached the game, and we will continue to honor the impact that this storied program has had on Azusa Pacific Athletics.
Love it when coaches from universities come by and after recruiting our athletes I can direct them to other talent in the area. High school coaches lets stop all the other BS, it is all about the kids.
What a story he will have to tell. Born during a pandemic with fear and worry swirling. But new life and hope is so clear with our new little addition. We are a family of boys!! Teddy Benjamin Buys, born shortly after midnight. Feel free to responsibly socially distance hug him.
A lot of mess in football. The only way to make change is to have a community around you that will encourage and inspire. Any SGV coaches looking for a group that will meet once a month for breakfast to encourage, pray for each other, and keep the main thing the main thing DM me
My heart goes out to all the young men and women who must cringe when they hear “safer at home”. Homes filled with rage, abuse, addiction, or just the inner hell of depression. Remember, pray, and reach out to our next generation of leaders.
Welcome local legend from St John Bosco and Azusa Pacific Joe Murphy to the Lancer family!! Joe was an all conference OL, 4 year college starter, started on every position on the OL, and was one of the original Jackie Slater pupils. Excited to add him to our staff!!
We have coaches going D1!! No one more deserving than our DC Josh Thompson. We will miss him and the incredible builder of men that he is. I will miss him as a friend and colaborer who helped build the foundation. But it’s his time! It is what we do here prepare people to move on
Happy birthday to the greatest o line coach in America!! Blessed to have Jackie Slater as a co-laborer and friend. Top notch as a person and coach.

Recruits here is a red flag: When a program recruits you by speaking bad about another program. I will tell you one thing: We are selling US. What WE do. How WE develop. How WE will get you out. How you fit into our brotherhood. Could care less what other people are doing.
Let’s go!!! Fired up for

!!! Earned and deserved is right!! I remember taking him on his first recruiting trip and immediately knowing he was the real deal. Amazing, coach, leader, and man.
Random suggestions for young offensive coaches:
#1
learn the run game and how to coach OL. There are very few people who do this well and will make you an invaluable asset. A lot of 7 on 7 guys. Not a lot of excellent box guys. This was the best thing I did for my career
I love my team. One game will not define the legacy that they have left in this program. The future is bright it is due to the fact that they put bricks on the foundation this year. They are becoming difference makers. Watch out for La Salle in years to come!
Truth: I would rather recruit a player who shows extreme effort, has skill, and is coachable during individual drills than one who is lazy and/or indifferent until they show up in 1 on 1’s.
Big time!! La Salle College Prep has a UC approved class “Fundamentals and Theory of Football and Fitness”. Only school in SoCal to have an approved course like this. Curriculum : football strategy, mindset training, biomechanics, peak performance, and leadership development.
18 years with my ace. Couldn’t imagine this journey without her. The best football wife and mother a man could ever ask for. Here’s to many more love you queen of the house.
So many kids go to training sessions (especially OL/DL) that end up being 75% 1 on 1s with very little teaching. Paying money for hyped up bad technique cheerleading. 1 on 1s can be very helpful but there needs to be a teaching progression before, during, and after.
What a night for our seniors last night! Complete dominance. Could not be more proud to have helped coach some amazing men that will be difference makers for the rest of their lives.

Can’t help but smile when walking in PURPOSE! Love how this team is shaping up and competing. Still time to get on board the 🚂. Don’t miss it!! Great day to be a Panther.
Looking to add some guys on staff who can bring the juice, know their craft, and want to be a part of building an elite program. Stipend, and some sweet gear. DM or retweet.
Looking for a new DC. Must be relational, an excellent teacher of the game, and want to work in a faith filled environment. We have a new field coming, a lot of returning starters and a brotherhood. Let’s roll Lancers!!

Exactly a year ago today I accepted the head coaching position at La Salle as our family entered high school football! Merry Christmas from our family to yours, may the coming year be full of surprises, Faith, resilience, and celebrations just like our past year.
Panthers are hiring Buccaneers’ offensive Dave Canales as their new head coach, per sources. Panthers have offered the job and Canales is taking it. “It will get done,” per source.
A new season! Thankful I get to spend some more time around these young men as they continue to grow into difference makers. Our best football is ahead.

A top notch locker room. Another brick in the foundation of a competitively excellent football program. Something special is going on.

1st day on the job. Let’s get this thing rolling. Get you in ➡️ develop you in every area ➡️ get you out!! Simple formula. We are here for it!!! Time to run it back ⏳. Join the family.
Looking for a varsity WR coach. Possible pass game coordinator for right guy. Stipend position but a chance to have ownership and grow a very talented wr room. DM me if interested.
P.S. you get some nice gear!
Incredible camp season complete! Over 1100 student athletes, 170 coaches, and a lot of offers from multiple schools for the hard working student athletes. Thanks to all who worked with us and all the student athletes who showed out!!

Could not be more proud of the guys. 38-35 win with 6 seconds left. Never back down. Never give up. Believe for it all. It’s a new era.

coaches retreat:
Research has shown us that when we are in a positive frame of mind, our brain is around 31% more productive than when it is in a negative, neutral or stressed state.
There is not neutral. Positivity produces change.
No virus is going to stop us from celebrating this little champion. Happy 3rd Tate. May you continue to grow in your resolve, curiosity, and joy. Love you my boy.
I’m not in coaching shape. After a week of workouts and demonstrating correct running form and plyometrics my joints are trash 😂. But my mind and outlook is soaring! Great kids fun times. Seeing daily improvement.

An impala can jump 10 feet in the air yet is kept behind a 3 foot enclosures at a zoo because it will not jump where it can’t see the landing. Fear robs them from freedom. There’s a whole new world out there! Don’t be an impala.

Blessed to be able to coach

. Something special is in the air. A community of brothers built on love, trust, and work. We will not just win games. We will build champions. If you are part of the special few that are about that action hit me up.
