I played HS Football with @DeionSanders he was a Senior and I was a Freshman. There was not one practice, game, workout or team meal that he wasn’t on time for! He showed up enthusiastic and leading the way! He led us by being next to us not above us. True Story‼️💯.

HS Athletes if your season over DO NOT STOP LIFTING WEIGHTS. The Coaches come thru the High Schools during winter evaluation periods and they LOVE PLAYERS who pass the eyeball test! Leave the slides at home and wear them Air Maxes daily! #freerecruitinggame.

I think players get politics confused with trust! You may be more talented but can I trust you? You may be faster but you miss at least 1 activity a week. You may be more talented but you barely have a 2.0. As a coach I’m leaning on players I can TRUST!!!!.

We have a Coach on staff who always says, "This is the greatest day of my life" when asked how he is doing. I have decided to adopt this practice as a way to show gratitude on a daily basis, because tomorrow is not guaranteed." #skobuffs

After I left FSU I didn’t have a roadmap or a plan for life after football! I had to learn the hard way. I blame that on me! Hopefully I can help some guys coming out of the game focus on getting a great start on building their future!.

Athletes your HS coach or any other person can put your film in front of college coaches and whether an offer is extended or contact is made is totally up to the program. Your HS coach has ZERO CONTROL over the steps the college recruiting room takes. Please understand this!.
