Things we talk about on the daily. We strive to make every single person in our program the absolute best version of themselves. I firmly believe this will make them productive on and off the field and successful in whatever they choose to do in life #TakeEverything
Loving your team also means you challenge them to reach their full potential. If you love someone you don't let them settle for anything but their best. You speak life and truth to them to help them grow.

Now that I’ve settled down and am able to reflect on today. What a dream come true and a whirlwind to say the least. But I cannot be more thankful for @Creekside_fb for the past 2 seasons and the relationships made there. The Knights are heading up for many years to come.

Grandad passed this morning, he was an inspiration to many. There are way to many great memories to put into words. (🐤The Birdwatching was one of my favorites🐦) I’m just very thankful I was lucky enough to be one of his grandchildren.

I have two
7on7 doesn’t help with actual football, creates bad habits and unrealistic scenarios. Everyone is good when there aren’t pads.
Building a true program is a lost art, just go out get best talent/team you can year after year and attribute that to having a “program”
