The principles dont change, be it Middle School or a dynasty in the NFL: you have to have CREDIBILITY as a coach. You have to expect excellence, and teach and preach greatness into your players. And they better notice you working alongside them and loving them. Dante gets it.
"When a guy like that works so hard for you to succeed, you want to give it back to him." . Dante Scarnecchia inspires the #Patriots offensive line to be better each day, but this week, their focus is set strictly on Sunday.

MAKE ATHLETICS PART OF THE SCHOOL DAY!!!.
I’m beginning to think that high school sports are as important as science, math, english, history, and foreign language. Let’s fight against the commercialization of youth sports and keep them a part of the educational system.

Sad and reflective this AM. Honored to know and work for this hero. Inspired to attempt to carry and pass on his principles of high standards, conviction in his beliefs, and his resolve & humility. We all could use some mentorship from Allan's life playbook. Love u & thank u.
Our hearts are heavy. After his courageous fight against ALS, our dear friend Allan Trimble passed away peacefully this morning at St. Francis hospital. He was surrounded by his family. His legacy of faith, family, and football will never be forgotten. More details to follow.

Every 1 MPH an athlete adds computes to about 0.5 more yards per second being covered. Edges shorten, windows tighten up, explosives and turnovers increase. Speed is the Lead Indicator of so many statistics football measures. Part of my talk tomorrow night for @SCFCA_.
On 4/19 we started “Feeding the Cats.” We had 20 kids over 17 mph, as of 4/30 we have 28. Then 1 over 19, now 3 over 19. Then 5 over 18, now 12. Still same amount over 17 but more new faces. Avg team speed increased by .27 MPH @pntrack @coachbdixon @CoachBradyWalz @CoachFortney.

Change or Learning is Derailed by 3 Things:.1. Ego.2. Fear.3. An Unwilling or Incapable Teacher/Coach. Ego is "good enough" or too good to ask/use help. Fear is scared of change/new things or scared to ask/use help. #3 is Simple: Find a new Teacher/Coach to build skill needed!.

@JamesALight Best thing I learned from @CoachDubMaddox was Double Post Shallow instead of Shallow. Best of all worlds; built in Explosives instead of Alerts and settling for check down if we were wrong pre-snap. Prime example here: using traditional shallow rules, we miss the explosive post.

W/o disclosing names or school you were at (unless it’s a buddy of yours) what’s one of the funniest/oddest/ or even stupidest things you’ve gotten told over the headset from “the guy in the box”?.

People will become who you say they will become. Encourage someone daily, they will continue to improve. Insult or tear down someone daily, they will get worse or leave (good for him/her if he/she does). It feels good to hear "Im proud of you" or "I love you". Say it to someone!
Encouraging words never get old. Ever. If you want to make a difference for someone. build them up with your words. They don’t have to be special words. or profound words. They just have to be from the heart.
