We talk all the time about how blocking on the perimeter is more heart than skill.
Here’s example A.

There’s a lot I like about Saban and how he conducts himself but this 50 second clip may be the best I’ve seen.
Even in defeat, his words will stick with these guys for the rest of their lives.

Gave the boys the day off of practice since we have a bye this week, so I decided to surprise my daughter and pick her up after school.
Needless to say — she was surprised 😂😂😂.

I usually try to keep my personal views off Twitter but I gotta say this..
I’m absolutely disgusted at the amount of “Yeah, but...” comments I’ve read regarding the murder of George Floyd.
If you attempt in anyway to justify what happened, you’re part of the problem.

My 5-year-old daughter had her last soccer game today. All the kids got medals in a league where the score isn’t kept.
(If you know me you know my feelings on participation awards)
She looks at me, holds her medal up and says “Why do I get this? We didn’t win.”

It’s been over 40 years since STL has played for a Prep Bowl title. This Friday we’ll play for just that and give this group a chance to leave their own legacy.
Can’t put into words how proud I am of these guys.

In my 14 years of educating high schoolers, I’d say I’m a pretty patient person.
BUT.
I’m 15 minutes into Day 1 of the apocalypse helping my 5 year old do her math homework AND I CANT WRAP MY HEAD AROUND THE FACT SHE CANT SOLVE 8+6!
Grammar school teachers have hearts of gold.

Not a big ND guy but Coach Kelly hits it on the head with this one!
If you’re only playing for the hype and attention you get on Friday nights, you’re playing for the wrong reasons!
Give me the guy that will play at any time, any place.

My daughter lost her tooth last night so I left some money underneath her pillow.
Of course I forget to grab the tooth when I made the money swap.
She wakes up this morning jacked up about the money and hits me with, “Why did the tooth fairy not take my tooth, Dad?”

Me and my daughter watched Avatar last night and she got pretty scared.
I tried to explain to her what “not real or make believe meant.”
Her: Am I going to turn into an Avatar?
Me: No sweetie. It’s just made up, like the Easter Bunny.
Her: The Easter Bunny is made up?

Football will end some day.
Being a Dad won’t.
These reporters should be ashamed for even asking this question.
For those upset at Mike Gundy for going to Morgantown late and not traveling with the team, here's his explanation. Gundy was truthful and honest about what all he missed watching his son Gunnar play Friday night.

There’s not another group of guys I’d rather to go war with. Adversity struck and instead of packing it in, they FOUGHT. I know it’s hard to see now, but tonight will bring us closer together as a TEAM and we’ll be better because of it.
Can’t wait to get back to work tomorrow.

Here’s some Dad advice to current and future Dads:
When your kid makes you a cup of coffee and they offer “a secret ingredient” to make it “extra special” — say NO.
Salt.
The secret ingredient was salt.

We always talk about ‘family’ in our football program. While that word can be cliche to a lot of programs, we honor it.
Overwhelmed at the turnout from the football program at my daughters surprise birthday “parade” today.
You all made my daughter’s day!
THANK YOU!

True football players love to practice almost as much as they love to play on Friday nights.
Guys who go through the motions at practice or call themselves “gamers” aren’t real football guys.

I make a few trips around the practice field each day with a gallon of hand sanitizer to give the guys a few shots to try to stay as clean and safe as we can be.
One of them tells me today, “This is kinda like taking communion.”
Needed that laugh during such a crazy time.

Firm believer in approaching the game like this.
Call it a mental hype, speaking it into existence, or positive affirmations but this approach definitely gets players locked in and game focused!

Instead of sleeping in on their day off, these six rising seniors woke up and visited St. Albert the Great to read to these awesome 1st graders.

Got absolutely fired up for a 5 year old soccer game today. Things we need to work on before next week:
1. Passing
2. Running
3. Aggression
4. Conditioning
5. Overall soccer skills 😂😂
All that matters is she had a smile on her face the entire time!
