Another home win for the Pats last night. The 35-21 victory over Whippany Park improves our record to 4-2 on the season. LVR hosts Madison this week in the final home game of the regular season.

Back on track with a 55-6 win on Homecoming. Every level of the program played, and many different players contributed to the success.

@TeamYouTube Hi Team YouTube, my channel @BigStateSports was shut down after 10 years of providing great content and doing everything we can do to stay within your community guidelines. It says we violated your spam rules but it really doesn’t appear that we did. Would you kindly respond to my DM and let me know if you can help?

The reality of it is, it takes what it takes. Our sessions are never more than 90 minutes, 3x a week. If you are on vacation, enjoy it! But if you are in town, get your butt out of bed and get better- or get passed up by someone who is. Summer lifting isn’t what is preventing kids from being kids— the 3 day tournaments over the weekends, every single weekend of summer is guilty of that one.

We FEED THE CATS and we play with 2 TEs on almost every snap... There is so much misinformation out there that Feed the Cats (Sprint-Based) 🏈 teams only train and emphasize speed. We have two SBF Clinics coming up in Texas and Georgia that can help ⤵️ store.simplifaster.com/produ…

I think of this quote often when planning our training and building our mindset. This came from the Glazier clinic last year when Coach Floyd was presenting.

They seemed to be pretty PHYSICAL and TOUGH last night without the HELL most coaches put their players through in the name of TOUGHNESS.... #SprintBasedFootball
Curt Cignetti has a fascinating philosophy...don't waste anyone's time, coaches not expected to work nights just get work done, limited practice to keep players healthy

Great description of the mission mindset. (Burn your goals, go on a mission, surrender to the result.) Just substitute “mission” for “dream”. “Winning the gold medal is my goal, not my dream. My dream is about playing to win as often as possible with and against the best women basketball players in the world. Winning the gold medal as a goal gives me some direction, but my dream is something I need to live every day. And I’m doing that each time I play to win… When I’m playing to win, that’s when I feel resonance. If I win, that’s great. I want to win, and having the gold medal as my goal forces me to play to win. But what I love to do, what my dream is, is to play to win.” ~Dawn Staley (Credit: Brain Food; Shane Parrish)

Interesting: The Packers moved the ball 57 yards on 8 plays on their first drive. Lions defensive star Aidan Hutchinson left the game for two plays, getting some much-needed recovery. He returned for play #11. Traditional HS coaches want to play their key players every play. To do so, they mindlessly “condition” them to have the stamina to play every play, not realizing they are DETRAINING speed and explosiveness. It’s better to have maximal outputs for 80% of the game than 60% outputs for the entire game. Pitchers are a good case in point. Better to throw 100 mph for five innings, than to throw 80 mph for 9 innings. High Outputs > Endurance

Dear young athletes- keep this photo saved to your phone and show the next person who says you have to focus on one sport in HS. The amount of kids I’ve heard say “I can’t risk getting hurt” or “my coach won’t let me” drives me crazy. You get one shot to be a HS athlete. @YouthInc

🚨LISTEN🚨 If someone says “track and field isn’t a sport” or “track requires no skill”… 9 out of 10 times they tried it once and got humbled. They got smoked in the 100m or couldn’t jump like they thought. The sport requires skill… You just don’t have it 🤷🏿‍♂️

Youth sports are out of control. I was the 9th overall pick in the MLB Draft. I played professionally for more than 10 years. Here is how I am navigating youth sports as a parent to four kids:
