South Elgin High School Storm Football

As an AD, I constantly remind our coaches what a captain really is. It is not always your best player, even though that is the ideal. It is the player who lives out your program’s culture every single day. The one who holds teammates accountable, shows up and works, puts the team first, and does the little things right when no one is watching. A captain is not just a talented kid who makes plays. It is the standard everyone else should follow.

I’ve sat in recruiting meetings where a coach pulled a kid OFF the board Not because of his film. His film was great. Because another coach visited his school and heard from a teacher that the kid was disrespectful in class One conversation. One teacher. Done. Your character evaluation is happening whether you know it or not

I will be at @Upper_Iowa_FB April 11 can’t wait! @CoachEkern @CoachRGoode @Rivals @CoachHo @SEHSSTORMFB

True freshman TE Gavin Mueller is already massive. 6-6, 260-pounder is generating plenty of early buzz.

Just incredible power from Miami’s defensive lineman here at Pro Day #GoCanes

The poem that Lou Holtz would have his players memorize…

The weight room is the most influential room in a school. It’s not a place to hang out — it’s a classroom. A place where habits are built, standards are set, and character is developed.

One of the key insights and breakthroughs I learned from Jay Schroeder early that I credit for a lot of my success was not having concern with the number or the weight being moved but with the PERFORMANCE of the rep, what position did I have to be in, what did I have to think about about, what emotion did I need to move the weight at the fastest possible.. You cannot move at your max force or velocity without learning and understanding position, and training in the appropriate position to reinforce the proper neuromuscular patterns. Everything else is just momentum and will results in injury and stalled progress.

30 years ago I started a journey. Not one scholarship offer. The reason? I was deemed too slow. That day I DECIDED nothing would stop me. I found my trainer Jay Schroeder and started an unorthodox training program that tested me physically, emotionally, and psychologically to level I could have never imagined. I lived by the mantra that: Your will to PREPARE for success had to be far greater than your desire for success. I went all in, committed my heart and soul, and 5 years later - 25 years ago - I had my chance to show the NFL how far I’d come. Here the video from my pro day: 40 YD - 4.37 Short Shuttle - 3.83 3 Cone - 6.37 Long Shuttle - 10.77 Pedal Flip - 4.11 I also benched 225 lbs 31x , vertical jumped 39.5", broad jumped 10'10" I literally transformed myself from a nobody to one of the best in the world in 5 years. I post this not to brag but as a reminder. BELIEF is powerful. Don't ever allow or entertain anybody's judgment or narrative about you, even for a microsecond. DOUBLE DOWN on yourself and always put it all on your shoulders. Have immense GRATITUDE for what God has put in front of you. Looking back, I’m grateful I didn’t earn a scholarship, that I had to walk on, that I had to fight and sacrifice to a level I never thought possible... To BELIEVE in myself so deeply that nothing could ever stop me. I have immense pride in that journey... More than in any NFL accolade. It represents defying the impossible and forms the foundation for everything I do in life today. My only regret? Back then, I thought it was all me. It wasn't. Better late than never: all glory to God #AlBundy #GloryDays #Resilience #NeverQuit #NFLCombine
