Everyone wants be a coach until they have to...
Check paperwork
Take athletes home
Work 7 days a week
Meet with parents
Do laundry
Work 13+ hours
Drive the bus
Be away from family
Miss vacations
Fund raise
It’s more than X’s and O’s for real coaches!!
Bad players- don’t take much seriously
Average players- take games seriously
Good players- take practice and games seriously
Great players - take academics, nutrition, film, warm ups, individual work, weightroom, practice, and games seriously
Imagine you work a 10 hour shift & your coworker works a 5 hour shift yet he expects y’all to get paid the same...
That’s what happens when you let your teammates slack in practice, the weightroom, film room, & classroom.
To create a winning culture, all players must work!
Athletes as we’re in visit season...
1. Stand up straight
2. Firm hand shakes
3. Eye contact
4. Confident conversation
5. Enthusiasm in your interest
6. Be excited for the moment
7. Have transcript/ scores ready
8. Pants above waist
9. Yes sir, no sir, etc.
10. See # 6
Sad how a school can send 10-15 kids a year to school on scholarship and instead of the city supporting...
You get...
How many went D1?
How many offers?
How many stars?
Instead of just being happy another young man is furthering his career on the next level period.
To the current HS football players still in the playoffs...
Practices will get:
Colder
Longer
More intense
Tougher
and stressful
But...
For some schools it’s already basketball season
Stay hungry, motivated, and locked in!
For close to 4 years. No one in Chadwick Bosemans inner circle/ family “leaked” or told the public about his illness. They protected his privacy and personal business. Kudos to his inner circle for showing true loyalty and privacy over his life and career. We need more of this.
To the kid that just maxed out 315 lbs... great job!
To the kid that just maxed out 225 lbs... great job!
To the kid that just maxed out 135 lbs... great job!
It’s not the weight amount but your work ethic that mean strength!!
It’s effort & progress that are impressive!!
Every HS football team should have a “Coaches combine” challenge! 😂
See how many of us over the hill but “I still got it” coaches can still perform
Longest throw
40 yard dash
225 bench reps
Longest Punt
Routes and catching drill
Winner gets an “I still got it” Trophy 🏆
Highschool players don’t forget to fall in love with the Highschool years. I know signing day and offers are a big thing right now, but you never know even after signing, when your last play could be.
Appreciate the Friday nights, hometown vibes, and HS atmosphere!
I’m not anti 7 on 7... but if you’re spending more time with skilled kids from other schools than your own linemen, don’t preach about winning & team unity when the season comes.
Get all of your kids to run track & stay connected year round while still competing in 7 on 7’s.
Actual footage of me trying to figure out how athletes expect to prepare for college without lifting weights, keeping up with academics, prepping for the SAT/ACT, and taking drills seriously.... 🤔🤨🧐
Players... offers are great but just know... coaches get offers as well.
So stay humble and buy in to the family culture. You never know what opportunity a coach may turn down in order to stay and coach you, train you, mentor you, and support you.
Real talk.. I’m all about getting kids into college. ANY college. These Tarheel fans getting upset that I said The Gamecocks are coming to recruit in Charlotte need to grow up. Any college showing major interest at our athletes here at Mallard Creek will get props from me...
We are officially HOMEOWNERS!!!
Through sacrifice, discipline, faith, and love we just signed the contract and have keys to our first house! We can’t wait to make many memories here, full of family, friends, holidays, gatherings, and more! God I thank you!

Coach Holloman
@HolloMan21
is the First Black Head coach in the city of Rock Hill… he is now also the first Black Coach in Rock Hill to win a
@SCHSL
State Championship!!!
This is important! 🚨
#History
A few must haves for a successful team, season, and program.... 👀
Grades/academics
Weightroom
Nutrition
Film study
Drills
Playbook study
Discipline
Coachable
Play multiple sports
Oh.... and....
ACTUALLY HANG OUT WITH TEAMMATES OUTSIDE OF PRACTICE AND BOND!!
You’ve got football players looking forward to running track to get faster on the field... then you have players complaining because you’re asking them to run....
Which one are you?!!
Some athletes want to get better, others just fake it!!
Don’t be the kid..
Passing for 3,000+ yards a season yet barely passing your classes..
Catching 1,000+ yards but not catching high scores on Tests & quizzes.
Rushing 2,000+ yards but not rushing to study hall.
Blocking for 5+ seconds but skipping your 4th block class.

rule to being an OC:
Be organized. Everything starts with organization. Organize your coaching materials, meeting times, video time, walkthroughs and practices for maximum efficiency. Don’t wing it. Be sure every position coach has a schedule and script. Maximum efficiency

It’s takes about 6-8 people to lift up your casket at your funeral….
Imagine what we can accomplish if we have 6-8 people to lift us up while we are living….

Young coaches seeking growth or future success...🚨🚨🚨
It costs you nothing to support other coaches and network...
but it may costs you everything if you spend time bashing them....
You never know who may help you with your next opportunity...
Strength coaches can’t afford to wake up on the wrong side of the bed...
Our job is tied to our energy level and it must be applied to our voice, body language, and coaching style every single day!!!
They are because we are!
Young black coaches have to support each other more... I’m seeing way too much need to out shine or bash the next man instead of helping each other grow..
I don’t care what sideline you’re on next season... I’m not throwing hate or negativity your way..
Compete yet support
Blessed to see another year of life! 35 years and 35 chapters of learning, living, and growing. I pray for many more! 🎈🎂 Birthdays are just checkpoints for progress and purpose! 🙌🏾
Wanna be successful?!
Do these 9 things:
1. Show up
2. Give your all
3. Serve others
4. Be coachable
5. Know your why
6. Empower others
7. Listen to learn
8. Take nothing for granted
9. Give thanks in all things

Please keep my family in your prayers as my sweet grandmother passed away last night. She was a beautiful person who loved her family dearly. Heaven gained another angel and we were so blessed to share many wonderful years with you. ❤️🙏🏾
I may coach or coach against you on Friday nights. But once a kid from the 704 goes off to college... any college... I become their biggest fan!
Proud of all the 704 athletes doing well on the next level! Keep repping the “4”
🚨🚨🚨Coaches as you continue to prepare for Spring and Summer ball. Energy is a cheat code!
Here is a quick meal replacement for breakfast or post training to help with weight loss and muscle gain
2 cups of coconut water
8 oz bag of fruit blend
1 to 2 scoops of Plant Based
Dear Parents,
Your child’s future boss isn’t going to give them a raise simply for “showing up”.
They WILL however, reward them (or fire them), based on their work ethic, character, teamwork, and willingness/ability to get the job done!
Sincerely,

@CoachKurtHines
Have you ever controlled the weightroom, do you have your CDL, can you break down film, do you know how to fundraise, can you micromanage meetings and tasks, are a good communicator, do other men respect you?!
But you want to be a head coach huh?
Are you ready?
Players/ Athletes 🚨🚨🚨
Drink 1 full glass of water as soon as you wake up tomorrow morning. Will help wake your body up faster and help with joint movement over time when done every morning ... hydrate early and often.

Bad Athletes - don’t take much seriously
Average Athletes - take games seriously

Coaches in 2019 let’s leave the subliminal social media shots & bashing of other programs back in 2018...too much negative energy is used to build programs instead of just lining up Friday nights to play ball!
Respect the sport, your opponent, & the love for the game without
Real talk... I’m tired of seeing coaches BASH players and acting like it’s really ADVICE!!
Some of y’all coaches need to get your life together as well!!
Encourage and guide these young men! And over anything else make sure you’re a REAL example of what you’re preaching!
You can catch and run routes but can you stalk block?!
You can juke and stiff arm but can you pass block?!
You can crush Indy drills and cones but will you hit the sleds and chutes?!
RB’s and WR’s .... are you a total player or just a selfish ball carrier?!
🤔🤔
Congratulations to Gabbi Cunningham who finishes 7th overall in the finals of the Olympics for the Women’s 100m Hurdles!! We are so proud of you all the way back from NC!!!! To become 7th best in the WORLD is simply incredible!!!
I’ll retweet a rival coaches tweet if it shows him supporting, teaching, building, & even winning w/ his team.
Have enough confidence in yourself to help support other winners.
I’ve never lost one game showing support to someone else.
Bigger than sports
#winnerscircle
We’ve got to stop “thanking” our doubters/ haters for giving us motivation.
That’s like thanking the devil for proving that God exist.
Thank the coach who drove you home, the teammate who blocked for you, the parent who purchased your equipment, the teacher who tutored you!!
Sadly many black lives only matter when they are dribbling or throwing a ball...
This will make a lot of you coaches catch that frog in your throat...
Do you truly love your players or just what they can do for you and your career?
Silence has a sound and impact as well..
I’ve been quiet for a while & don’t usually stir any waters dealing w/ other coaches or programs
But...
Social media is giving the wrong people a false sense of importance. Too much effort trying to be relevant & gain clout instead of actually being qualified & knowledgeable..
Some of y’all athletes using the term “no cap”... ..
Cap weekly in the classroom, weightroom and practice, yet expect offers, starting jobs, and coaches to vouch for you.
No cap
My wife is a super hero...
The push she gave to birth our daughter was stronger than any bench press I could ever attempt.
She’s officially the strongest one in the household.
Amazing. ❤️
Whoever comes in to take over the new Head football job over here at Creek just know these CREEKBOYZ will be ready!!! Weightroom is rocking!!! These boys are staying dedicated and faithful to the program!! Let’s get it!!!!

Reps = Strength
Strength = Stronger player
Stronger player = better player
Better player = college offers
College Offers = scholarship money
So get all of yours reps..
Each rep could get you closer to scholarship money!!
Lift different
Think different
Play different
Today we received this email from Mountain Island Charter high school on behalf on our Boys Track team and their conduct at the Track meet…
It’s bigger than wins buts representation 🐾❤️
If you don’t train under stress, against fatigue, and/or with major resistance...
Don’t expect to perform great under the same conditions.
Tired? Summer heat? Late fall cold? Heavy weight? Cardio endurance?
Are you prepared?!!
Yesterday morning God blessed us with a safe and loving delivery! Liliana Marie has arrived! ❤️ My wife was a rock star and showed once again why women are super heroes! And the Gabster is extremely excited to be a big sister 👶🏽🌸
I’ve never feared the loud and angry man.... I do however worry about the quiet and peaceful man. He is the one who holds the most strength and discipline. And that is powerful beyond belief.
On behalf of Coach Palmieri,
I would to thank all of the coaches, players, parents, & MC family for your support and love over the past 13 years!! The Palmieri’s will always look at CREEK as home! The titles, championships, & scholarships are all because the faith the process!
No one cares how long you’ve been coaching if there are coaches who have been coaching longer and still working like it’s their year 1... experience doesn’t equate to lack of current effort... a work horse is a work horse for his whole career!! 💯
