Consistency beats perfection every time. Perfection waits for the “right moment.” Consistency shows up anyway. Small steps, repeated daily, will always outperform occasional bursts of perfect effort. Progress isn’t built on flawless moments , it’s built on showing up. 💪 #WAT

USF head coach, Brian Hartline, demanding his players do all they can to win the moment… This second This action This activity This session Today This week Next game This month This season Sports are game of moments. In fact, there are thousands of micro-moments in every game that can be won or lost. And these moments…these micro-moments…constantly influence the momentum of the game. The momentum of the game as it swings back and forth. Underpinning moments and momentum is mindset. Is a player, are players, and is a team in High Performance Mindsets vertically or Low Performance Mindset? Mindset drives Moments drives Momentum. Sports are games of Mindset, Moments, and Momentum. And this is why I want every player I work with and every team I work with to be outstanding at starting and staying in a High Performance Mindset.

Reminder to athletes, coaches, & parents everywhere. The best S&C program in the world can’t prevent all injuries. Injury “prevention” is no such thing. Can only mitigate the risk of those injuries happening.

Thomas Huckleby ’28 continued to dominate throughout his sophomore season. He racked up 881 receiving yards (2nd most in the MVC) and added 9 receiving TDs. Combined with his 938 yards from last year, Huckleby now sits at 1,819 career receiving yards, the most in program history!

The most important job of any youth coach: get all the kids to come back out next season because of the experience they had..that’s really all that matters. Bonus points if they come back and bring friends.

In HS S&C, there will always be athletes that train w/ private coaches. That’s not the issue. The issue is as S&C coaches we can’t manage volume/workload if we don’t know what’s happening. This is the email you want to receive! This puts the athlete☝🏼! 👏🏼to this private coach!
