Coach Zach Sims

Hot take: You’re team periods are ineffective when you’re scout team is significantly overmatched and/or not fitting like the opponent. You’re better off going half line or investing more time into group/indy.

@TheGridironHQ Run the right route Catch the ball Run after the catch

You’re interviewing for a WR coach position. The OC asks: “What are the 3 non-negotiables you demand from your receivers?” What’s your answer?

A community college professor named Marty Lobdell taught the same study skills lecture for 30 years. The video quietly became one of the most watched educational recordings online, with over 10 million views. He spent his career watching students fail not because they were lazy, but because no one had taught them how their brain actually works when learning something difficult. The lecture, “Study Less Study Smart,” contains a powerful framework. Your brain cannot sustain focus the way most people believe. Studies show the average learner hits a wall between 25 and 30 minutes. After that, efficiency collapses. You’re still sitting there, but almost nothing is being absorbed. Lobdell told the story of a student who planned to study 6 hours a night, 5 nights a week. Thirty hours total. She failed every class. She was not lacking effort. She was confusing time near books with actual learning. The fix is simple: when focus drops, stop, take a 5 minute rewarding break, then return. That reset makes a massive difference. He also destroyed the myth of highlighting and re reading. Recognition is not the same as recall. To prove it, he read 13 random letters. Almost no one remembered them. Then he turned them into “Happy Thursday.” The entire room recalled them instantly. The brain stores meaning, not repetition. This is why elaborative encoding works so well. Finally, he shared the most important principle: 80 percent of study time should be active recitation. Close the book and explain the material in your own words. Teach it to someone else or an empty chair. Retrieval is where real learning happens. His closing line stuck with me: If this information does not change your behaviour, you have not actually learned it. The best students do not study more hours. They stop confusing the feeling of studying with the reality of learning.

@huston_pet13484 @WatchThatNow Doesn’t make it any less true what did I say that was wrong?

@CoachZSims @WatchThatNow 734 reads and not one agrees.

1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣7️⃣ Michael Jordan scored 3,000 points in a single season.. To match it today, a player would need to average 37.2 PPG across all 82 games 🤯

@BrennanSpain which is why most teams have terrible coaching - actual coaching ability is not a job requirement any more it's just about nepotism!

RELATIONSHIPS ———————- RESUMES Doesn’t matter what your resume says all the time it’s about the relationship and connections you have built that will get you through!

@TheGridironHQ and then you present all that in an interview, only for them to hire a 7v7 charlatan or a nepotism hire who has never coached a real team before!

Final Thought: A great coaching portfolio doesn’t say: “I want to be a head coach.” It says: “I am prepared to lead the whole program.” Big difference.

Aspiring head coaches: Your coaching portfolio should be more than a resume. It should prove you can run a PROGRAM. 🧵👇Here’s what I’d include:

@BBGreatMoments only two of those pitches were strikes. embarrassing and sad. ABS should have been instituted long ago.

Greg Maddux is a true artist 🎨

@MaxPreps Real grass and this shouldn’t even be a discussion.

Pick a field-type to play on forever 🤔

@TweetsbyCoachP scheme don't beat man, man beat man!

Coaches: which is the priority for you? Coaching to your system… or your personnel?

@BPinNC1 @BBGreatMoments If you throw a 90 mph pitch AT any baseball player they would duck too so what's your point?

@CoachZSims @BBGreatMoments Doesn’t make what I said wrong. Give Novak a bat & throw 90 at him & I bet he ducks. IF he stats in the box I don’t think he comes close

What's your opinion?

@BPinNC1 @BBGreatMoments the original post said a 90 mph FASTBALL.

@CoachZSims @BBGreatMoments You’ve forgotten that a tennis racket has about 100SI of surface area while a bat has a very small area to hit with. And you also have to hit a curve, slider, cutter, change….

@VinnysCorner1 Kobe Bean Bryant and Larry Joe Bird are two of the top three. And they ain’t third.

Would you change anything here?

@CoachHunsinger @Coach_ChadJohn A very small percentage but it doesn’t take away from my point.

@CoachZSims @Coach_ChadJohn Tell me then, what’s the percentage of HS Defenses, let alone Freshmen teams where no LB is lined up in the box, and they drop into coverage without a read step because they know it’s a guaranteed pass? 2%? 3%?

Another Prime example of why 7s is dog-water. Tell me whose LBs are lining up like this in an actual game? TELL ME WHO Instead, coaches, like the ones who coach the team pictured, don’t care whatsoever about developing players, but rather on just winning a rep when all it does is develop bad habits, full stop. Pre-season 7s is meant to find where you excel, find where you need to improve and correct those errors. It’s practically a PRACTICE. Development off-season translates to winning in-Season.

@CoachHunsinger @Coach_ChadJohn I can show you in-game examples of LB's playing exactly the way you say shouldn't be allowed.

@Coach_ChadJohn It’s honestly a super easy fix. - Lineman Splits Marker at the LOS. - LBs MUST line up inside the Tackles - LBs CANNOT align deeper than 5yds from LOS - LBs must start from a single knee, kneeling position to simulate read-step timing

@FastbreakHoops5 Isiah Thomas

Who should get the final spot?

@OleTimeHardball Barry Lamar Bonds

You have your choice of any player, in his prime, to fill this DH spot. Who gets the call?

@VinnysCorner1 1. Bonds 2. Griffey 3. Bonds playing right handed 4. Griffey playing right handed The other two bums don't belong in the picture.

Rank these 4 legends….

@BBGreatMoments The fact that some of the scrubs on this list will get in at some point and Barry Lamar Bonds is not in the hall of fame is the reason many people will never watch baseball again. Disgusting and sad
