Dear College Football Players who trained your butts off all week. Your decisions this weekend will impact football season more than any training you did this week. MAKE GOOD DECISIONS. Wear a mask. Socially distance. Stay in your “bubbles”! You’ll be glad you did come fall!

The amount of players that came up to me after the game and said, “time to get to work,” tells you everything you need to know about our team. These players are hungry, determined and highly motivated. We are just getting started.

Hey strength coaches, maybe if we spent a little less time bashing anyone who trains their athletes differently then how you train yours, and a little more time on self improvement, we could move this industry, and our athletes lives in a better direction... food for thought.

On Thursdays we emphasize high velocity movements to increase neural drive in preparation for game day.
Here we have an elite level athlete demonstrating an over speed jump.

If lazy, mediocre, undisciplined, selfish people don’t like you... nice work, it means your doing something right.
If you find yourself surrounded by them... it might be time to take a long hard look in the mirror.
Law of attraction.

This team has made incredible progress in training this summer.
Speed, strength, vertical jumps etc are a lot of fun to look at. But by far my favorite “number” from this summer...

This team served its community 266 hours this summer. We couldn’t be more proud!!

Dear Strength and Conditioning Coaches,
- Be yourself
- Put your athletes first
- Have an open mind
- Don’t fear what you don’t understand, instead, learn to understand it
- DONT judge another coach until you know their WHY
- DIFFERENT is not synonymous with BAD

Challenge STILL accepted. And that’s not changing!!
There’s no head coach, staff or group of athletes I’d rather go to battle with than this one!
We WILL get it done. There is absolutely NO doubt in my mind.
DONT FLINCH!

The idea of “choice” is an illusion if you want to be successful. You already know what you have to do, the question is, are you willing to do it?

A leaders responsibility is not to be liked. A leaders responsibility it to do what’s best for the team. Those things don’t always co-exist.
Still want to be a leader?

As a coach, you WILL impact every one of your athletes. Whether that’s positively, or negatively is up to you. Your words matter, and so do your actions. Choose both wisely.
Happy Sunday 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I am grateful for all I have. My situation, my athletes, my family, all the blessing in my life. What an abundance of gratitude I have.
But I am absolutely DETERMINED to improve all of the above.

The reason culture is so import. You can’t walk into a 7/11 and buy it. It doesn’t grow on trees.
It’s hard. Real hard. It takes daily, consistent work. Its an absolute fist fight. And it’s worth it.
I wouldn’t have it any other way.

When the excitement has worn off, and motivation is low, in the early mornings, in the late evening... how bad do you want it then?? Because that where “it” happens.
And that’s where you’ll find, only your best friend will be there to support you. And his name is discipline.

Behaviors lead to outcomes. Behaviors start as a thought. And for that thought to become a physical action, you must first BELIEVE. You must believe that completing those actions over and over will eventually lead to the outcome you desire. And that.... is called the process.

Behaviors > Results
Consistent elite level behaviors will drive positive results.
Positive results can not happen with out consistent elite level behaviors.
Stop worrying about outcomes, take your energy, and invest every single ounce into the process. #RCJH

I can honestly say I see greatness inside of everyone, it’s in you.
And I will dedicate my life’s work to pulling it out of as many people as humanly possible.

Leadership comes down to TWO things... influence, and the ability to make those around you better. If you want to be GOOD, worry about making yourself better. If you want to be GREAT, consume yourself with making everyone you come in contact with better! Impact, serve, LEAD.

Leadership is NOT about pleasing people. Leadership is about challenging other people to grow. And not everybody likes that... and not everybody will like you. It is a sacrifice you make to make positive change.

Don’t flinch. NO DOUBT. WE WILL!!!!
Leipold was asked a question that included "as you try to build this thing..." And he interrupted and said, "We're *going* to build this thing. We're not going to try to. We will." Confidence clearly not an issue with the head coach... #KUfball

Priorities are not words. They are actions. You show people what is important to you everyday by your behaviors!!
Everyone says they want to be great, few are willing to put in the work!

Never forget, your ACTIONS define who you are! What you CONSISTENTLY do... is who you are.
Not what you SAY you are, not your Twitter, not your Instagram... it’s your ACTIONS.
“Your actions speak so loudly, I can not hear your words!!”

Beyond grateful today for opportunity
- opportunity to love my wife
- opportunity to hug my daughter
- opportunity to grow
- opportunity to develop young men
Don’t tell me you don’t have opportunity. If you woke up this morning, opportunity is there. What will you do with it?

Never forget, the big things don’t happen without the details.
The small, tedious, minuteness details MAKE the big things happen.
You can’t just skip those steps. Life doesn’t work that way. Be motivated by the big things, BUT INSPIRED by the details.

Want to grow?
Put your ego, and you feelings aside.
Start asking people for what you NEED to hear... and stop looking for what you WANT to hear.

Being elite is not convenient! Elite people are not selective on when they choose elite behaviors.
You can’t pick and choose when you want to buy into the process, and expect great results.

Sharing logos on a T-shirt, or words on a wall, do not make you a team.
DAILY actions and behaviors that are aligned from person to person, are what make a team, a community, a united front.

No one owes you anything.
You are not entitled to the OUTCOME. You are entitled to the opportunity of the PROCESS.
How you go about that PROCESS, will dictate which OUTCOME follows it.

Everybody always wants the “what’s next”. Nicer house, better car, more money. They get so consumed by whats next, that they forget about whats now.
If you really want what’s NEXT. Dominate what’s NOW!!

Blessed to be able to have guys like Sam to help lay the foundation! Sam is the definition of a servant leader. Lucky to have you back!! Can’t wait to KEEP building!

Don’t forget, in any profession, all the “greats”, started as mediocre....
As much as our current society wants you to think you can, you can’t skip that step.
You must embrace being inadequate at something before you can be great at it.
EMBRACE THE PROCESS
