The Spurs have an average age of 22 in their starting lineup This quote from Tony Bennett should be their mindset following this NBA Finals collapse “If you use adversity right, it will buy you a ticket to a place you couldn't have gone any other way."

I’m not sure about all the kids out there playing QB, but I’m overwhelmed by all the new teachings of QB tech! We are trying to teach what every exact body part should be doing at every moment! I just picked up a ball and practiced… played numerous sports to become an athlete… never had a true QB coach that trained me on technique… & I’d challenge anyone to an accuracy contest bc if what I learned along the way! I’m not saying all this stuff can’t be good, but I think too many times we are trying too hard to focus on ALL these things instead of letting guys learn to feel their bodies, understand the keys to throwing & figuring out what is right & wrong on their own! It’s really hard to self-correct when you don’t understand WHY you made or missed a throw… I had to figure this out on my own & it helped me to coach myself & be able to work on “throwing” when no one else was around!

The average person/fan will never have a clue what goes through the mind of a coach during the Star Spangled Banner before a game. Such a powerful moment that is unique to each coach. There are many that will get emotional just thinking about it.

If I had one wish as a high school coach it would be that every high school athlete understood and accepted the work and preparation that goes into being great. Many say they want it, but only a few approach it as if they can’t live without it.
George Kittle was asked how he’s been able to get more explosive as he gets older: “Train your ass off and be faster than everybody else. I attack every offseason, I attack every day like I’m getting ready for a game. Every time I run routes in the offseason with Brock Purdy in Nashville, I’m running each rep like it’s a 3rd or a 4th down that I have to make a play on. So by developing that mindset, working at a very high level, allows me to be a very good football player.” via: @UpAndAdamsShow | @heykayadams

The Offensive Line doesn’t need any other position to be good. Every other position needs the Offensive Line to be good. The most important position group in football.

This evaluation is spot on. Jamari is a Swiss Army knife on offense and defense. Natural leader that will do big things this year @westrebelsfb on both sides of the ball. #RecruitTheRebels 🔵🔴⚪️
