Student-athletes, If you have to be told to: • Show up on time • Compete • Attend class • Do your work • Train hard • Fuel up & hydrate • Get proper rest & recovery • Study your plays • Give your all… You’re not really THAT passionate about the game!

"It's the moments that you work to prepare when no one is around that prepare you for the moments when everyone is."    Everybody wants the crowd, the lights, the big moment. But here's the truth: the game doesn’t care what you want. It only responds to what you’ve earned.

Many players WANT to be a champion. Fewer are WILLING to do what it takes to become one. You don't get better because of what you WANT. You get better because of what you're WILLING to sacrifice, what you're WILLING to give, and what you're WILLING to do.

The best athletes aren’t happy because they’re successful. They’re successful because they’re happy! Their positive attitude helps them work harder, persevere longer, and perform better.

Dear Coaches, Be the person you needed when you were younger. You never know the hidden needs of your athletes. Don’t let the weight of your daily tasks make you lose sight. Every day you show up is an opportunity to impact a life.

“Be someone that somebody wants to emulate. Set a good example. You cannot be a good leader if you don’t care about other people because you have to be willing to listen. FEEL, FELT, FOUND. I know how you FEEL I FELT that way before. Here’s what I FOUND out” Nick Saban

Rules are the baseline—what everyone has to do. Standards? That’s what champions choose to do. Great players don’t just follow rules—they set the standard. Coaches, hold them to it. Athletes, live it every day. That’s how winning programs are built.

Life is about Choices. Here are 8 of them. 1. Attitude is a Choice 2. Character is a Choice 3. Work Ethic is a Choice 4. Leadership is a Choice 5. Consistency is a Choice 6. Commitment is a Choice 7. Daily Habits are a Choice 8. Encouragement is a Choice Success is a Choice.

The best high school teams aren’t always the most talented. They’re the ones that trust each other, sacrifice for one another, and hold each other accountable. Talent wins games — but culture wins championships. 🏀

Run Forrest Run 😂😂 Wanted to make sure it was a clear Win 😆

“I never feared about my skills, because I put in the work—work ethic, eliminates fear.” Fear fades when you know you’ve done the work. Want confidence? Earn it every day. That’s how champions are made.

This tweet got a lot of interaction. I wanted to address a few key points to creating this model of a School-Wide Summer Training Program: 1. Hire a Qualified S&C Coordinator to be in charge of programming. Preferably one for Boys AND Girls. Pay them a stipend. 2. Pay sport

"You don’t get rewarded for doing what is required." Inky Johnson Greatness is not given to a chosen few. Greatness is earned by the few who choose to do 'more than what's required'.

Don’t train like a pitcher, train like an Olympic sprinter. When I was with the Phillies throwing in the mid-90s, I thought sprinting was eyewash. I just wanted to get bigger and stronger. But here’s the thing—the key to throwing harder isn’t to get bigger or stronger. It’s to
