I don’t know a man on this Earth who can outwork me.
One of the things I’ve always said is that if you’re given the ability to coach kids, then you’re really given the ability to be a father or parent of some sort.
Any game that you step on, you can get beat.
Some of these kids are spending more time with the coaches than they are with their parents. The coach is supposed to be raising these kids, not belittling them and talking to them like the world is coming to an end.
It’s a bad place when you see sometimes how coaches treat people. I don’t even want to say players. I want to say people. They’re people before they become a player.
When you try to help people become a better person, you’re going to have to find out what’s really going in their world.
Parents needs to spend more time with who they’re trusting their kids with. That’s one of the nuggets going forward. Find out who these coaches are. Figure out their environment and what kind of problems they have, and see if you want your child involved with that.
I’ve been a fan of video games since the old school, I even have a lot of the old school arcade games at my house.
The more you know about your opponents, the more you learn how to beat them. Where the holes open to run through, blocking schemes, even down to player tendencies and what hand they like to carry the ball with.
No coach who is coaching kids should ever curse a kid.
I’ve never stopped loving the game since day one. If it were a job to me it would be very hard for me to get up in the morning. And why leave something that you can never come back to? Realistically, whether you accept it or not, you only get one wave in this journey. Run at it as hard as you can.
I don’t train for sports. I’ve never trained for sports. I train for life, and sport is just a part of that. So when I start training, that’s lifestyle training and that’s why I go through so many things, whether it’s yoga, kickboxing, wrestling or swimming.
The refs are so confused themselves because there’s so many rules. It’s like, ‘Oh my gosh I’ve never seen this many rules in my life.’ And everybody’s trying to govern this and justify that.
It’s poetry to watch the game when the game is left alone, when there’s not a bunch of flags on the ground.
Watching the season for me is about watching the chess matches.
Regardless of how well you can be offensively, if you have a great defense, you can deal with any offense.
I’ve always had a problem with the things that people would say out of their mouths to other people. I’ve always had a problem with that, because a lot of people, they don’t have enough information to speak to people a certain way or speak about people a certain way.
I like college football a lot, because it’s the dream that you’re chasing. The dream of one day possibly making it, with the harsh reality that only one percent make it.
We’re in a tough place in this world. There are a lot of kids giving up very early. Scripture says it takes a village to raise one child, and that’s what these coaches are going to have to go back and understand.
In an era that’s run on free agency, everybody’s going where the dollars are. They go after the dollars and they forget that the game will always come down to brotherhood.
The locker room talk is always that about who can beat who.
