To say that I am PROUD of this group of kids would be an understatement! The uncertainty, challenges & adversity that they met head on would have buried many people twice their age! They never flinched, they never lost sight of the mission, & they never stopped loving each other!

If you don't have a WHY for a Movement/Exercise/Drill, then WHAT is it doing in your program?! Be INTENTIONAL with your exercise selection.
Drills do not equal skills. The exercises you give you athletes should be purposeful - anyone can make an athlete tired. How do you coach?.

#CoachWives are the real MVPs!.“Invested” is an understatement!.They hold everything down while we spend our time pouring into and serving other people’s kids. They know more about the joy of success and the anguish of struggles more than anyone on the outside ever could.
Honestly goals are finding someone who gets as happy for you as Mrs. Terry did for Coach Saban 🥺
