Things high school students think aren’t cool:
🔘 being a try hard
🔘 being smart
🔘 following the rules
🔘 caring
Things people giving out college scholarships think are cool:

So, who do you want to impress?
If you are an Atlanta sports fan and have made it a point to get to a game to see Julio, Matt Ryan, Trey Young, John Collins, Freddie Freeman, or Ronald Acuna, but haven’t yet seen

Our family is excited to be joining the championship contending football and track programs at Rockmart High School. We are eager to get started at this reputable program that values character and work ethic. Go Jackets!

Having a former player starting at QB in the National Championship game doesn’t happen often. Well worth the 8 hour drive to be here for this moment! Let’s go James!

Today was hard. I didn’t know Robbie, but I do know what it’s like to lose a player. It’s hard. It doesn’t get easier, but I do know the answer. Love. If you coached Robbie, honor him by loving your athletes as hard as you can everyday.
RIP Robbie & Roy

AA classification the past 20 years is on full display this weekend. Brooks, Fitzgerald, Thomasville, Benedictine, Carver Columbus, Calhoun, & Buford were all teams you had to go through on a yearly basis to be the champions.
It’s funny how a recruiting “guru” can get tagged in a kids D3 or NAIA offer post & he never likes or retweets that post. Let a kid get a D1 offer though & there will be quote tweets about how he found the kid & knew it wouldn’t be long.

As a high school 🏈 coach, if all you care about are X's & O's, W's & L's, and what the kids can do for you, you don't deserve to be called coach.

I can’t believe you stopped at new turf, new team room, new locker room, & new Jumbotron. Our new weight room and new uniforms are probably feeling left out.

There are 7 🏈 bowl games featuring Power 5 schools 🆚 Group of 5 schools. The G5 schools are currently 5-0. 👀
Recruits ➡️ don’t get caught up trying to impress people by going to a P5 school just because they are P5. You can win anywhere. Go be great where it’s best for you‼️
If I were a college coach and I wanted to see a 240 lb sophomore move at elite speed for that size, I’d probably make sure I was in Carrollton tomorrow by 2:00 PM to watch

But that’s just me 🤷🏻♂️
Sometimes you have to do things the hard way.
Years ago I lost a lot of weight. I let poor habits get me during covid & regained it all & more.
I needed to get right. Weight loss during football season is not easy.
Today I hit my goal of 40 lbs lost during the season.
😱 So you're telling me that coaches care more about what athletes do at their high school in real games & classes than at some "elite" 7on7 squad/trainer? 🤔Pay attention athletes. What you're told to "get ahead in recruiting" sometimes just lines someones pockets instead.
Calling all HS prospects: when a college coach clicks your Twitter we would love to see your high school on your header! I could care less about what elite 7on7 squad u rep, Or who your trainer is, OR stars or all star games or camp invites Be where your feet are!

Absolutely beautiful! Great form gets you under the weight & unmatched mental toughness gets you up. Put that together with superior grades & high character, guess what happens next? Just a few hours after this lift, he picks up his first offer.
