“There are three things necessary to be successful in life: Faith and a relationship with God, using our power to chose to do what is right, & hard work” -Ed Thomas Aplington-Parkersburg (Iowa) High School head football coach

@TheGridironHQ @deterball @GridironHQ MANUAL

Most football staffs don’t fail because of talent. They fail because: • No clear structure • No defined roles • No consistent communication So I built a Coaching Staff Manual and I’m giving it to every coach 👇 If you want it: 1. Follow @GridironHQ 2. Like + Repost 3. Comment “MANUAL” I’ll send you the copyable version.

We don’t have a classroom management problem. We have an emotional regulation crisis that teachers are being asked to handle. Somehow, “classroom management” has turned into: • de-escalating trauma • supporting anxiety and depression • calming panic attacks • breaking up fights • being cursed at, threatened, and even assaulted • being the counselor, social worker, and crisis team And at the same time… we remove the very things that actually help: • recess • movement • art • play • connection Teachers aren’t trained for this. And they shouldn’t have to be. Classroom management was never meant to do all of this. It’s about: relationships rules routines responsibility That’s it. It was never designed to replace what families, communities, and systems failed to provide. And until we stop offloading every societal failure onto schools, teachers will keep drowning under expectations no human can meet.

Kid can play at the next level. Get recruiting him!

The Edina Hornets football team just won their first Minnesota state championship since 1978 with the Chicago Blackhawks’ first-round draft pick playing his senior year at QB, and the hockey team’s goalie scoring 6 TDs in the title game. Play sports. Have fun. Nothing like it.

Congratulations to Ethan Retterath on being named to the All State Football Team.

Congratulations to Class A Football All-State recipients!

An important message for all coaches and athletes. Kids are going through a lot today. Be grateful. Be there for your teammates.

Nothing quite like high school football

Appreciate @NickStro66 for the sweet graphics!!! Great work and deal, especially considering the quick turnaround (less than 1 hour) Thanks for the hook up!

YOUR 2025 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS.

@Triple_31 Would appreciate a recording

For all the coaches that indicated interest, I’m going to use Google Meet (seems the easiest way to do it). If you wish to attend, please reply to this thread…I’ll then add the Google Meet link so you can click into it. Again, this is an introductory deal for those interested in

@Triple_31 I’d be very interested

Coaches…I’m thinking about doing an introductory course on option football. Something like a Google Meets event for coaches who want to learn option football in general, be it under center or gun. Just a way to give back. Please let me know if there is interest. No fee.

@PopTartsBowl @CFXway Coming from Bismarck, ND. Only 1,645 miles traveled by flight !

Both teams arrive tomorrow! The road to Orlando is longer for some and we want to see who our farthest traveler is! Let us know where you’re coming from. If you’re making the drive, pick up Uni by E-PASS to save time and money on your way to the game. GoWithUni.com.

@CoachFam @MSUBeaversFB Coach, just south of you guys in Washburn and Wilton and we are running flexbone triple option. Would like the opportunity to get some development from you guys some day

Dear Parents, The mountains you are trying to move for your kids are most likely the very mountains they need to climb in order to develop the grit and skills to survive and then thrive in the real world. I know it’s hard, but let them struggle. Let them fail. Let them figure it out. They are stronger and more capable than you realize.

LFG #IYKYK

You will never forget your Senior Year of High School Football.
