I appreciate it! Just trying to continue to do the things that some of those before me have already laid the foundation for. My generation time to elevate those that are coming behind us..

Self Evaluate during this recruiting process. If you think you’re D1, then look at the rosters and research your positions size, measurables, film, and most importantly GPA’s .. then re-evaluate yourself. Too many people are not being realistic with themselves
In coaching, you’ll come across seasons more challenging and humbling than others. Every experience just molds one into a better coach, teacher, and motivator ..

ATTENTION COLLEGE COACHES! We preach STUDENT-athlete. Program guys and builders.
@JevonMciver
is all that and more.. Great asset to any program that is luck enough to have him.

I would like to thank Officer Pearsall of the Durham Police Department and Captain Smith of the Chapel Hill Police Department for speaking with M.O.T (Men of Tomorrow) and dropping some major gems and life skills on our boys.

One of those best quotes I’ve heard to date: “The difference between FAILED coaches and GREAT coaches is.. FAILED coaches say this is my system and I need to get players that fit it. GREAT coaches say this is what I have. Now what can I do with it to succeed.”
#facts
Yes sir! Great to see you as well coach! Just continuing to pass along the great knowledge that I’ve received from great teachers, mentors, and coaches like yourself who never give up on our youth and always making an impact. Truly means a lot coach!
You shouldn’t have to toot your own horn or continuously pat yourself on the back, if everything you do for your program or kids is genuine. Telling the world about your every move and “accomplishment” can look like you’re looking for outside validation.

Some believe they are so “woke” with this non-voting argument, that you’re actually sleep. The Presidential election isn’t the only people up for election.
High school student-athletes focus on getting better. If you just focus on getting better academically and athletically the opportunities are going to come.
2025/ATH is an animal 🦍. Everything you looking for in a DB!

Unpopular Opinion: One thing I see in this new age while coaching is there’s too many “kids raising kids”.. Some of these parents involvement in THEIR kids life is SAD! Could never imagine my parents putting me off on someone else day after day..
You can’t help everyone you encounter. So spend your time and energy on those that accept and appreciate it! You can’t get that time back in your life wasting your energy on the ones that don’t ..

“Once your soul is awakened, you never return to the sleepwalking state of mind. Some people become complacent in life. They are just going through the motions and not aware of truth. Seek the knowledge, wisdom, and the understandings that vivify your existence.”
When you coach and played multiple sports, you really have a different eye and outlook on talent. You can tell coaches that’s strictly football. Athletic evaluations be subpar at best. Development too

Creating discomfort all 2019 for myself and those around me. When you’re comfortable, then your complacent. Complacency is a terrible disease! Always striving for greater should be the ultimate motivation

Great win last night! Proud of the boys! Back to back conference wins for the first time in years with this program. Continue to build and trust the progress 🏈
The kids worried the most about recruiting has the least tractions. Those that are just working to be the best are getting the recruiting attention they earned.

Minkah Fitzpatrick was tired of seeing the footprints on the Steelers’ locker room logo, so he did something about it.
Without fanfare, he added stanchions to rope it off.
“Something as small as keeping our logo clean, it's simple, but it means a lot.”

I am blessed to receive an offer from Lenoir- Rhyne University. Thank you to all of the coaches and staff who took the time out today! With that being said I am committed.

Beautiful thing to see when the young boys aka freshman are trying to get in the weightroom on their off days and will get upset if you don’t let them!
