Week 5 of “Wr Secrets”, was great day
of fundamentals and technique. I had two new players joined and I also had new
coach as well. We worked on ball drills, WR releases, and WR breakdowns. What impressed me most are kids willing to
work hard and be competitive non-stop. That is something that all coaches enjoy
when kids are willing to work hard and compete at a high level.
My wife is photographer, so I have
her take pictures of the clinic. She does a great job taking pictures of the
clinic. When I am coaching my players I don’t even notice that the outside
world is there, I am so focus (locked in is a football term that coaches use) with
my players. When the clock hits 7:30pm,
a light switch goes off and as group we all pray together. After that “WR Secrets”
has begun. As a player you have to have a light switch that goes off, and when
that light switch turns on, that means you are locked in and ready to go. When
you are locked in, anything outside the football field is irrelevant. Such as
fans, parents, student section, cheerleaders, opponent fans, opponent
sidelines, and the opposing players. You have to become locked in and ready to
go. That means, you must know your opponent strengths and weaknesses, your
assignment, and have short term memory (If you make a mistake during the game
you must forget about it immediately, if not it will ruin your day). If you
have all these things you will be prepared, and preparation=confidence.
Being locked in doesn’t happened on
the day of the game. You have to be locked in the whole football season, if not
you will lose trust of your teammates. You must be tunnel vision on the success of
your football season. The only thing that should be in your tunnel in this
order is God, Family, Academics, and Football.
Anything else will be hard to balance. Young fellas, let’s show
Competitive Greatness in all the things we do. Being competitive great is learning to rise to
every occasion and to push yourself mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually
to reach your God-given potential.
