Coach Fair

Used to be kids hit the weights to be better athletes, get jacked … or chase Playboy dreams. Now the barbell builds brains too. Turns out discipline carries over🤝

Everybody ain’t built 4️⃣ IT

A sports specialization study at UCLA found that 88% of NCAA Division I athletes played an average of two to three sports growing up. I spoke with a Sioux Falls athlete and trainer who have seen the direct impacts of the multi-sport experience.

I’ve seen it happen especially a FAST time at a young age‼️‼️ @morrisboys607 ran 10.7 As 8th Grader it changed his Life 8th grade offers at a 2A School @cadenknighten ran 10.6 as 9th grader Changed his life made playing 1A Oklahoma football irrelevant @Camden123123 ran 10.2 picked up double digit offers at 3A school There’s more but if you’re FAST you can change your life in less than 11 Seconds

Coaches never talk about retiring. Teachers always talk about retiring. Coaching and teaching might be the same thing in theory but in application they're miles apart.

Linebackers: Yes. You’re going to get held. And the ref’s not going to call it. So what? Extend. Pull. Disengage. Elite Linebackers don’t make excuses. They make plays.

Coach Pat Fitzgerald On Building A Team “It storms. It norms. Then it forms.”

Squatting is hard. Deadlifts are hard. Pull-ups are hard. Cleans are hard. Sprinting is hard. Kettlebell swings are hard. Lunges are hard. Farmer’s carries are hard. Skull crushers are hard. You know what else is hard?… Losing. CHOOSE YOUR HARD WISELY!

Ahhh, The view from the bench — plenty of free time to reflect on your work ethic!

WHEN YOU: Make a commitment, MAKE IT! Have a job, DO IT! Give your word, KEEP IT! Make a mistake, OWN IT! Lose, LEARN FROM IT! Are blessed with another day, LIVE IT!

Great Linebackers don’t just react. They anticipate. Because they’ve seen the play before. They’ve studied the film. By the time the ball is snapped, they already know the answer. It’s not guessing. It’s preparation.

Athletes - take note: Offseason Training • Optional Good Grades • Optional Playing Time • Optional The future is in YOUR hands! ~ via @CoachKurtHines

The best high school teams aren’t always the most talented. They’re the ones that trust each other, sacrifice for one another, and hold each other accountable. Talent wins games — but culture wins championships. 🏀

@JonSvecX What’s your favorite drill to work the shuffle?

The most important type of Linebacker movement? The SHUFFLE. It allows you to move low, move with power, and change directions on a dime. Develop a great SHUFFLE. You’ll make more plays.

Yes. Elite Linebackers are fast and strong. But they don’t rely on pure athleticism alone. If you want to make more plays, you need to study the game, learn your reads, and perfect your techniques. Don’t just be an athlete. Be a football player.
