Growing up throughout my football career, there were times when coaches would tell me not to be nervous. I would do everything I could to fight those nerves, but it never worked.
It wasn’t until later in my career that I realized many of the people telling me not to be nervous had never experienced the pressure of playing meaningful football. That’s not a knock on them, they just didn’t understand what I was feeling.
Those nerves weren’t a weakness. They were my body’s recognition of the moment. They were preparing me for what was ahead. They were a reminder that the next few hours mattered.
So for those of you who get nervous before you perform, embrace it.
Your body is recognizing the moment. It’s getting you ready to go to work.
The goal isn’t to eliminate the butterflies.
The goal is to make them fly in formation.

A young man reached out about not hearing back from coaches:
Recruiting is a two-way street, both sides are looking for the right fit. Make sure you are reaching out to many coaches not just one and keep them updated. Silence is a no until anything else is confirmed #Recruiting
Big thanks for all those who came to our Team Camp the last few days. Everyone got a lot better! Also big thanks to JL Beers and Bones BBQ for catering our coaches social!

The people who succeed aren't always the most talented.
They're often the ones who never stop learning, growing, and working.

One of my favorite things about in person evaluations, and coaching are the friendships I’ve made over the years. These trips involve a lot of red eye flights, hours going over @TrackManFB data and film in the hotel, and talking to CFB coaches after camps to make sure we can get these athletes placed. Thank you IN-IL-TN, you did not disappoint. I saw a ton of talent!!
