Hearing all too often. “I’m not playing _______ so I can focus on ________.” Stop it. Frustrating at small schools especially. GO COMPETE in anything and you’ll be better for it. Spring sports around the corner - go run track, play baseball/softball, tennis golf etc.

Can’t really put into words what this picture means and represents. . . We’ve waited a long time to get down here during the week of Thanksgiving.

3 sport athletes aren’t dead. Rather, the mentality of coaches has changed over time making it difficult for kids to be kids and play various sports without feeling guilty for doing so. It’s not the kids who have made this a reality. . . Look in the mirror. #BeBetter

The expectations are different for a coaches kid. . . No school today, but up early to go grab breakfast. The SAME breakfast we have been getting (like it or not) for the past 15 weeks!!! #RaisingEmRight

As I look for answers, I notice that one Star seems to be smiling brighter than all the rest in the darkness of this particular night. That smile is familiar to me and one that will not be forgotten. LEO and be kind bc that’s how she would have wanted it. . . I see you Syd. R.I.P

QB1 achieved the unthinkable leading his team to B2B State Titles. Let’s add one more title to his name . . . @sp3ncr21 was selected by the IFCA as MR. FOOTBALL for the QB position!!! Only one QB in the state selected (all classes) MR. has a nice RING to it !!!

Tonight we received our 2019 Rings and while our Rings are a material reminder of our success, it’s moments like THIS and the relationships we forge that will always mean more. Tonight (more than likely) marked the last time our “TEAM” would be ALL together. And that is special

Honored to be with two of the best to ever do it in the classroom and on the gridiron for @WeboJrSrHigh and @WeBoFootball as @JosiahCSmith23 and @Trevor_Weakley2 were recognized by the National Football Foundation’s Central Indiana Chapter. True leaders on and off the field.

Can’t thank Jon Stookey enough for taking care of our team this season. An amazing gesture by feeding our team once, let alone three times! Glad the cheerleaders could join our players. Special thanks to the @WeboEndzone ladies who helped as well. #ThisDoesntHappenEverywhere

Had a chance to listen to my hero / idol and role model deliver a message to our team this evening. He’s done this sort of thing hundreds of times and you can still feel the passion in his voice. You call him “Doc” and I have the privilege of calling him my Dad.

Hang around Winners you become a winner. Hang around losers you become a loser. Hang around idiots you become an idiot. Surround yourself with people that bring out the best in you!!! Be smart on your week off. A lot of people are depending on you . . .

As coaches, we always hope that the the “life long lessons” & “two cents” will sink in. We pride ourselves on the little things. Last night our seniors lined their helmets up on their own accord so they could be announced. Seems as though they have absorbed a few things. #Seniors

Most things are bigger than football. Like when a group of kids on their own accord go to visit a 7th grade football player (Charlie) after he suffered a season ending injury in their first game…. Fun to coach great kids.

Being a role model requires no days off and @connor_hole12 has lived up to this expectation dating back to his days with @WeBoFootball. Words can’t describe how proud I am of @IndianaFootball ‘s #33 for chasing his dreams and being not only a great teammate but a better person!

Youth league, middle school, high school, college or NFL. If you make a good play / first down / score a touchdown give the ball to the official. I don’t care what your name is, how much money you make, or who you think you are. It’s a little thing, it’s respectful & it matters.

Really appreciate @CoachScheib joining us this evening to share some words of wisdom with our guys leading up to Friday’s game. You won’t find a better advocate for high school football and “what it means to the guys in the room that others don’t understand”. Thanks coach!!!

Why do we hold chains at youth games? Why do we hand out post season awards, smack hands w kids in the tunnel on Friday nights & why do our Summer teams coach youth camp? Because it matters. That’s why. Be the difference for someone and pay it forward.
