Caston S&C

It’s what you do FOR your teammate, not TO your teammate!

Shout-out to our guys Lane Hook (2027) and Logan Mollenkopf (2028) on their IBCA Underclass Honorable Mention All-State recognition.

Setting the standard. Congratulations to Isabel Scales earns NCCAA First Team All-American honors Olivia Nickerson earns NCCAA Second Team All-American honors Built through consistency and work!

Houston Men’s Basketball program has made the Sweet 16 for 7 consecutive seasons. The weight room matters. Nutrition matters. Doesn’t matter the sport.

This is one of the reasons I love what I do!! Seeing our kids accomplish something they have failed multiple times before. It takes a lot of mental toughness, and courage to step back up to a barbell knowing you’ve failed that weight prior to attempting it again. #CometPride

Hard coaching without relationship produces resentment. Relationship without hard coaching produces entitlement. The sweet spot is a player who knows you love them and knows you will not lower the bar for them.

Caston S&C’s February “Athlete of The Month” is Bailey Byers! She’s always given great effort in everything we do, been a motivator towards her peers, and displays a great amount of integrity by doing the right things at all times. Congrats, Bailey!!

Congrats, Bel!! 💪🏼 @ScalesIsabel

The only way to prevent injury is to progressively expose the body to stress. Low back? Expose it to stress. Hamstring? Expose it to stress. Stress creates adaptation. Adaptation is what’s needed to keep athletes available.

Pressure exposes character. Pressure exposes culture. Be who you say you are.

@CwellRay You realize that being the best part of a kids day doesn’t mean the easiest part of the kids day. You can challenge kids, promote growth while building relationships- have a difficult practice- and still be the best part of their day right?

WOW! @NHSSCA_IN shows they can put on one of the most elite State Clinics the @nhssca_us has to offer! Thank you to all of our sponsors for making this possible! Congrats to our raffle winners and thank k you to @noLANEnogainz for hosting this event!

Comets continue to work as this cycle winds down! Last week before we test. Excited to see the continued growth of our kids!

PSA: if you’re an athlete wanting to get bigger/stronger or a coach who wants your players to be bigger and stronger, you cannot skip breakfast AND rely on a government regulated cafeteria meal for lunch. Not gonna happen.

#FAMILY PHOTO! Thank you to all of the vendors and sponsors for all of your support. Thank you to @noLANEnogainz for hosting another ELITE Clinic. Also, thank you to all of the coaches who came to present, connect, and grow! @NHSSCA_IN @nhssca_us

We talked about the consistency of lifting/training year round this week in class as we begin phase 2. “When something becomes normal, then there isn’t abnormal.” As I get older as a highschool strength coach, over 20 years now. There are always two facts when I think of “THE GREAT ONES” when it comes to athletes. 1. They were consistent 2. They know what it takes Show up. Work. Listen. Attend. Intent. Coachable. Be Present. Effort. Keep learning. However you want to phrase it or put it on a shirt. Those three “phrases” are very simple but very hard, AND ITS THE WAY.

Incredibly proud of the effort our kids put into the weight room. One more week before we test! Excited to see how much they’ve grown since December. For some, PR’s may not happen and that’s okay. Failure is a part of growth, how we respond to failure is who we are. #CometPride

I love this reflection question: if your teammates matched your habits, your effort, and your attitude every day…would we be better or worse?

“Most people don’t want be pushed that hard. They want to be pushed to their level of comfort. You need coaches that push you outside your comfort zone because that’s how you grow and that’s how you develop self confidence and self esteem. They push you to deal with failure,” Tom Brady 🎥 @dc_mma
