SCOUT TEAM PLAYERS OF THE WEEK 🐾🏈 This morning, as we do at the start of each Tuesday practice, we recognized our Scout TEAM Players of the Week from last week: 🏈 Defense: Sophomore DB August Weinbrenner 🏈 Offense: Junior WR Peter Cook The Scout TEAM plays an unheralded but incredibly important role in our preparation each week. Their job is to replicate our opponent’s plays, formations, tendencies, and style of play, giving our offense and defense the best possible preparation for Friday night. They may not get the Friday night spotlight, but their work during the week directly contributes to the TEAM’s success on game night. That’s why we recognize our Scout TEAM Players of the Week, to celebrate the preparation, effort, discipline, and selflessness it takes to make your teammates better. As part of their recognition, August and Peter each received an “Iron Sharpens Iron” T-shirt, a reminder that their commitment not only sharpens their own skills, but, equally important, helps sharpen their teammates and our TEAM. Congratulations, August and Peter! Thank you for embracing your roles, doing the little things right, and doing your part to prepare this TEAM to WIN! Iron Sharpens Iron. WE > ME. DAWG is the standard.

TEAM Together Everyone Achieves More. The strongest teams are built on connection, trust, selflessness, and sacrifice. They live by one principle: WE > ME. After three consecutive losses, our TEAM was vulnerable. As coaches, we were vulnerable too. There was no hiding from it. We had to look at ourselves, own where we fell short, and decide what we were going to do about it. Coach Price used a great analogy to describe what happens during times of adversity—the lobster. As a lobster grows, its shell eventually becomes too tight. It must leave the protection of that shell and enter a vulnerable state before it can grow a new, stronger shell. Adversity can do the same thing to a TEAM. It can expose weaknesses, create discomfort, and force us to grow stronger together. Friday night’s decisive district victory was a great example of what can happen when a TEAM responds the right way. Several players stepped up and made big plays, demonstrating TENACITY when we needed it most, but those individual efforts were made for the betterment of the TEAM. No one player won that game. WE won that game. Now, we must use that victory as a platform and not a destination. Our goal is to become DISTRICT CHAMPIONS, and the road ahead will continue to challenge our discipline, character, toughness, and commitment to one another. Block out the distractions, eliminate selfishness, and continue to make the players around you better. IRON SHARPENS IRON. When the choice is ME or WE, choose WE. Together Everyone Achieves More. That’s what a TEAM does. That’s what TENACITY looks like. That’s what DAWGs do. PRACTICE PLAYERS/DAWGs OF THE WEEK OFFENSE — Junior WR Camden Maddox DEFENSE — Junior DL Michael Aker Both had excellent weeks on the field and in the weight room, consistently demonstrating the qualities we expect from a DAWG. FOUR GAME CAPTAINS Joining Camden and Michael as our four Game Captains for this week’s game against Fleming Island: Senior LB Carter Ottesen Senior LB Joey Muskus All four brought their best effort to every drill and every rep this week, continuing to demonstrate what it means to EARN EVERYTHING. Congratulations to all four. Keep setting the example.

Today marked the completion of PV’s second week of Summer Camp. During our protein break, we continued reinforcing the DAWG Pillars of Success, with several players stepping up to share their thoughts and understanding of what it means to be a DAWG. We also recognized those athletes who achieved a 6-rep personal record in the squat, a testament to their commitment to hard work, discipline, consistency, and the grit to finish the week as strong as they started it. As we move forward, the message remains the same: Finish Strong. Success is built one workout, one rep, and one choice at a time. In the weight room, players earn one another’s respect not through words, but through their work ethic, attitude, and commitment to doing the extra when no one is watching. Keep stacking the work. Keep earning respect. Keep building the DAWG. Disciplined Athletes With Grit. That’s the standard. That’s the expectation. That’s the DAWG way.

Body Language Body language speaks before you ever say a word. Studies show it takes only seconds to form a first impression, and much of communication comes through body language, how you carry yourself, your posture, eye contact, facial expressions, and energy. Do you sit with confidence and good posture? Do you make eye contact when speaking and, more importantly, when listening? Do you look engaged, attentive, and respectful, or distracted and disconnected? Your body language communicates attitude, confidence, respect, and leadership without saying a word. People often form opinions about your mindset and character before you ever speak. DAWGs understand that leadership is not only heard in your words, it is seen in your presence, your posture, and the way you carry yourself every day.
