Joplin Year 11 complete. Teaching year 15. Coaching year 18. What a year. The team on field memories of the last 11 years mean so much to me. Can’t wait to make more in the future.
Some of the replies/quotes are hilarious. This drill legitimately works on contact balance and ball security. Ask any of the RBs that have played for us and done drills similar to this. Now the dudes with the sticks could use some work lol

WHY DO WE COACH?
It’s not for the wins, the recognition, or the Friday night lights.
It’s for the relationships. To help build young men, teach life lessons, and make a difference that lasts long after the final whistle.
The wins fade. The impact lasts forever. That’s why we coach.

If your effort needs a reminder, your expectations need a reality check.
Earn trust before you expect opportunity.

Good life lesson from Pat Murphy about how worrying is a "waste of time."

Take life one day at a time. You don’t need to have your whole future planned. Deal with what needs your attention now and leave tomorrow’s worries for tomorrow.

If it doesn’t happen the way you planned, it’ll happen in a better way than you imagined.
Trust the plan. It’s already in motion.

Hey Coaches,
Someday, someone else will have your job.
They’ll sit in your office, wear your gear, and lead the program you once called yours.
That’s not meant to diminish the importance of your work. It’s simply a reminder that we’re all replaceable professionally.
But there are roles in your life that nobody else can fill.
Your children only have one you. Your spouse only has one you.
Don’t become so consumed with being excellent in a role that someone else can eventually fill that you neglect the roles that only you can fulfill.
I’m all for pursuing excellence in your profession.
But just make sure you're bringing that same commitment to the roles that only you can fulfill.
Coach retweeted
Develop a strong opinion about yourself.
Know exactly who you are and who you aren’t.
Decide it early. Hold it hard.
If you don’t, someone else will tell you who you are.
Hear it enough times and you’ll start believing them.

THE LOCKER ROOM KNOWS.
Who works.
Who leads.
Who cares.
Who pretends.
They always know.
Coach retweeted
You worry too much.
The path is already made. You just can’t see it yet.
Stay cool. Stay kind. Stay grateful while you wait.
Coach retweeted
There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance.
Arrogance will always get you beat.

A leader who creates a strong culture knows that it’s not about forcing people to follow you, it’s about making them want to!
