Uncommon Favor! I'm excited to be granted the opportunity to learn and grow with the @atlantafalcons through the Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship!

“The schools that understand that — They're not spending money on athletics. They're investing in the most powerful branding tool American higher education has ever seen.” THE FRONT PORCH 🔵 impacts the academic mission 😈 Takes a TEAM…that means EVERYONE! We represent something bigger than ourselves 🙏🏼🎓 #BleedBlue #WhatsNext

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults. Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥 You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts. Hard is the lesson. What’s one hard lesson sports taught you that helped later in life? 👇

Tried explaining this a year ago. However, it fell on deaf ears. Adults typically mess up the kids by being upset with the head coach ⬇️⬇️. Majority of the times when you transfer because of this….you still end up with what you had prior or losing some.

“Just because you fit in, doesn’t mean you always belong there.” If you have teens, you’re gonna love this one. 😂🔥

Athletics is the most powerful classroom on campus. Every win, rep & interaction becomes a lesson. Kandice Mitchell reminds us that we’re not just building teams, but lifelong communities. When athletics thrives, the school feels it. So don’t take that lightly. Embrace it.

I am very grateful to receive a football offer from North Carolina Wesleyan University. It is truly an honor to be given this opportunity, and I appreciate the coaching staff for believing in me and my abilities. @coachbrooksrb @NoahMangum24

PLAYOFFS BOUND ‼️

During contact period last year, I watched a coach walk into a high school and talk to three people about a recruit. The guidance counselor. A math teacher. A kid in the hallway. None of them were the head coach. None of them were the recruit. By the time the coach left, he knew more about that kid's character than any highlight reel could show. This is happening at schools across the country. Act accordingly.

#10 on the backend. Rest up my bruddah 🤙🏿

Rest in peace to another Bronco great 📰 boi.st/4duKlVQ  #10aneStrong

Excited and grateful for the opportunity to join Savannah State University as Co-Defensive Coordinator / Defensive Backs Coach. #HailSSU #ClawDown🐅

Knew it might get ugly for Duke when UConn saved the ball twice from going out of bounds in the 2nd half. Non stat plays are the difference when the talent is the same.

“Now we’re just supposed to hug and kiss everybody. You know what? Do your job right. Go to class and you won’t hear about not going to class. Kids have so many distractions they don’t stay focused on the task at hand. Accountability is going to be big until I leave,” Tom Izzo
