Hurdles for Christmas! Working with the greats, my cousin and coach, Nick Scott! (GRAY SHIRT) @TheFellows5 📷: My pops-> @GoGetta_24 #trackandfield #Recruiting #hurdle #sports

@JSauerhage @JSauerhage Coach Sauerhage let me get in contact with you. 400 hurdler

Arieanna McPeak ,Texas Relays Triple Jump Champ!!!!!

Being coachable means you're willing to consider feedback even if you don't like what you hear. It means resisting the urge to make excuses or get defensive when challenged. Getting better is more important than your ego. You'd rather get it right than be right.

First outdoor 200m this season 4/11, huge PR as well, showcasing speed. 21.7 plenty more meets to come to continue building! #jucotrack #letswork #beavers unsigned 400H sophomore

Athletes‼️‼️ Do a better job of using social media to your recruiting advantage. Too many college coaches are on social media, and you need to be seen. Head coaches and assistants are active and use these platforms to find recruits including your schedule, highlight film, and contact information. If your page isn’t updated because you barely get on, you’re missing real opportunities. Here are some helpful tips to consider:

As a 400 hurdler, I opened my outdoor season in the 100m, shaved .3 in one year. 11.1-10.77, this is what my pure speed is looking like right now. More work to come! Working to grab an opportunity! #letswork #juco #TrackAndField #collegetrack #progression

@CoachNesby Good evening Coach, I’d like to be in contact with you. I’ve sent an email as well.

Looking for distance runners Class of 2026 who are ready to compete at the colligate level.

@DillonMartinez Yes I agree, even sled marches, sled bounds can work too. Definitely encourage film work to make those angles happen and become an emphasis. The perfect angle is 45 degrees head to heel.

@DariusThomass Amen! I HATE the toe drag cue. The toe drag (if it happens at all) should be a bi product of doing everything else right.

A classic starting error I call the "lawn chair exit." How do you cue this, coach this, or correct this?

@Ramichie82 Coach what are your athlete standards? @Ramichie82

As May draws closer so does the transfer portal window. High school kids will have less and less time to make up their minds and commit to a school. When the portal opens up most (not all) HS recruiting will likely stop or be put on hold. That’s how it goes. It’s a tough world.

To no one in particular Let me stand on something for a second and then im officially done. Please refer to this post from now on Yes…I have seen the viral video I was coaching the athlete. We lost the race. Period. But what that video doesn’t show…. Skylar Hudnall responded by setting a conference record in the 5k and walked down the favorite coming in in the same fashion without the theatrics. The record he set winning was an almost 90 SECOND personal best. Skylar also ran one of the fastest miles in the history of the SWAC two weeks earlier in 4:07.89. Which is the best our program has seen maybe ever. Skylar is an excellent, hardworking student as well. He’s a great teammate and all his teammates respect and love him no matter where they come from and what their skin color is. This is Skylar’s SECOND HBCU he chose coming from W Virginia State. Skylar has the support of his teammates and his coach (Me) without question. Our staff believes in him. Skylar’s coach (Me) doesn’t have much experience with distance running and is figuring it out every day (shout out to my UW guys that have contributed). He still shows up and trusts the process. I could care less what your color, socioeconomic background, or whatever we use to separate us is. If you work like this young man does, treat people with respect, act like an adult, and work to graduate….I WILL COACH YOU. I have tremendous respect for Garfield and his program. We take the L in the mile like we took the W in the 5k. With respect for all who competed. This is a lesson for our program and the young people. Social media is full of people with comments and no context. The vast majority of them cant do what any of these athletes do daily. So all yall that have liked, commented, shared, and laughed….we remain unbothered. We moved on after the race and focused on the 5k. In the words of Deion You didn’t make us You can’t break us I’m proud to have him with us FITFO

Every year I have my athletes write down both academic and athletic goals. That way, when they start to slack off or get lazy, I can point back to what they set for themselves. Their goals are big, but they need to understand that lofty goals require a matching work ethic

Day 2! #AAU #trackandfield #StepWithAPurpose

Blessed to have the opportunity to work the AAU district track meet this week in Fort Worth, Texas at Chisholm Trail HS along side with my Cousin Nicholas Scott who’s the meet director! This will look great as an upcoming sophomore into College! #StepWithAPurpose

My name is Darius Thomas, I am a transfer looking for a home. 3 years of eligibility left! 400m Hurdler that can drop down to the open sprints.

RUNNERS run fast times. RACERS beat the best….under pressure, when stakes are high, when they’re maybe not at their best. Name some great RACERS.
