Striking power, balance, and force production are byproducts of training, not drills. If you want them… EARN them by doing the HARD things, first. #BTD

Wyoming guys = Glue Guys

Attention to detail is what separates the great from the good. While most athletes ignore the small details, the best athletes leave nothing to chance when it comes to their training, preparation, and performance.

We See You @boumanaidan8 Keep Swinging Dude!!!

Cooper Kupp never “arrived.” 🚫 Overlooked in high school 🚫 Overlooked in college 🚫 Overlooked in the NFL His mindset? “I just worked really freaking hard.” Talent opens the door. Relentless work keeps you in the room. Champions are built, not born.

“In coaching you get what you demand. If you’re not coaching it, you’re allowing it to happen when you see something you don’t like. We want to do everything to a high standard and there’s got to be accountability when guys can’t consistently meet the bar,” Curt Cignetti

"It's a daily process. You just stack good days. Everything we do we have high standards and expectations. The standards can never be compromised and there has to be accountability throughout the entire organization coaches and players." - Curt Cignetti

Saban-level expectations: → Teach • Develop • Recruit • Lead • Serve

Winners own mistakes. Losers point fingers. “Don’t be a blame guy. That’s the first sign of loser mentality when you blame someone else for a mistake,” - Kirby Smart 🥇 On great teams, accountability isn’t optional.

“It’s a process. It’s a way you go about doing things. It’s a high standard, high expectation, it’s accountability. It’s discipline, commitment, toughness, work ethic, pride. It’s wanting to be great vs. wanting to be normal,” Curt Cignetti The difference is within you.

If you are a head ball coach, this is gold right here! “Your culture is the worst of what you allow.” And you can’t escape it.

Coach Leach used to say “all sacks are on the quarterback.” As a player, that used to piss me off — because we all know that's not true. Sometimes the protection breaks down, a back misses a chip, or a tackle gets beat. But looking back, it was great coaching! It was about ownership and improving the situation. If you’re a quarterback and you view every sack as being on YOU, you’ll look for ways to improve it: -Change the play call. -Adjust the protection. -Check the ball down. -Scramble. -Throw it away. But if you shrug it off as “the O-line’s fault,” you give your power away. You can only improve when THEY do — and that keeps you stagnant. The same principle applies in other area’s for QB’s. A receiver drops a ball? -Take ownership. Ask yourself: Did I have the right pace? Was it a good location? Was it the right read? Did I spend time with him after practice working that route? A missed signal? -Take ownership. Did I communicate it clearly? Did I hold an extra signal meeting? When you take this mindset — “it’s on me” — you stay focused on how you can grow, not on who you can blame. Now, bring that into your own field. What are the “sacks” in your business, career, or relationships that you can start taking ownership of today? Because ownership always leads to improvement — and excuses always lead to stagnation. coachlukefalk.com/themindstrengt… #MindStrength #Leadership

Like many others, been saying it for years. Anyone who discourages your child from playing multiple sports does not have your child’s best interests in mind. Period.

In 2005 the USF Cougars, coached by Kalen DeBoer, lost in the national semifinals to Carroll College 55-0. The next season they won the national championship. Trust Coach DeBoer. He knows what he is doing.

South Dakota Football Strength and Conditioning has an immediate opening for a Paid Internship that can transition into a Graduate Assistant position if the candidate wants that. Feel free to reach out if interested.

My 3 management non-negotiables:

Don’t only coach what’s wrong. Coach what’s right. Name the wins. Build momentum. Confidence isn’t softness. It’s gasoline on a fire. Belief first.Then corrections stick. That’s disciplined coaching!

EARNED @creidcampbell Phenomenal Hire and Welcome Home!!!

Major cheat code for life: Become brutally honest with yourself. About your habits. Your effort. Your excuses. Your blind spots. Self-honesty is uncomfortable, but it'll save you years of wasted time. You can’t fix what you keep lying about.
