Under NFHS rules you cannot cover an eligible number up in a scrimmage kick formation (if you’re using the number exception), and then shift to uncover him to make him eligible. He’s still precluded from being an eligible receiver of a forward pass.
I know this because it happens to us once a year and once a year I yell into the void at officials who look like they’ve never heard of the rule and don’t care to enforce it. But tis the rule nonetheless! 🤣
I shall continue shouting into the void about it

You can literally Sprint 3-5 Max Effort Reps 2x a week and continually to get faster all year.
Minimal time investment. Minimal Fatigue.
There’s no reason for Athletes not to do true Sprint work with their Strength Training.

I dream of a world where I can watch an entire football game without being bombarded by gambling, political ads, and d*ck pills.

Alignment of Strength & Speed Coach and Head Coach is the key.
#SprintBasedFootball
This only works when everyone is aligned.
The Head Coach sets the vision.
The S&S Coach builds the physical development system.
The sport coach supports and reinforces it.
The athlete buys in and executes.

From a Sprint Based Football coach in Wisconsin ⤵️
A reporter approached me after our game this past week...which was a pretty physical grinder against a top 10 team... he said "I don't know what you are doing with these boys for conditioning, but you have the best conditioned high school team I've ever seen." It was an amazing affirmation to hear... especially knowing that we threw traditional conditioning out the window!

I don’t know about you all, but frankly I’m insulted by the notion that my vote this November could be bought for 5k. Not to mention the inflation this would cause. All things considered, I cannot in good conscience accept a penny less than 10k!
.@POTUS announces the TRUMP DIVIDEND: If Republicans win both the House and the Senate, because of our tremendous economic success, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States for $5,000
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The President of the United States has no constitutional or statutory authority to issue a dividend check on behalf of the US Government. Only the Congress can authorize and appropriate these funds.

How can we stop this?
If I were president and I wanted to tank the dollar and get rich off it, here is exactly what I would do.
I would hire a Treasury Secretary who already made $3.5 billion crashing another country's currency. I would put my guy in charge of the agency that approves bank charters. I would install a crypto czar with $200M in crypto holdings and give him an ethics waiver so nobody could challenge it.
Then I would sign an executive order banning the government from ever creating a digital dollar so there was no competition.
Then I would have my family launch their own private digital dollar. My family takes 75% of net profits. I would grow it to $4.6 billion in circulation and route a $2 billion Abu Dhabi sovereign fund deal through it to prove it works.
Then I would get Congress to pass a law requiring every stablecoin in the country to hold short-term Treasury bills. Now every dollar of my digital currency is a forced buyer of government debt. Brookings projects $2.3 trillion in captive demand by 2030.
Then I would have my OCC guy grant my family's company a federal bank charter. Now I can issue my digital dollar with federal authority.
Then I would have my Treasury Secretary weaken the actual dollar. Bond buybacks that suppress yields but tank the currency. Build a $950 billion war chest for more. Let the debt hit $40 trillion. Dollar index drops to 99. Gold goes to highest point ever.
Then I would kill the Corporate Transparency Act and delete the FinCEN beneficial ownership database. That was the one law that required every shell company in America to report who actually owns it. Without it, nobody can trace who is buying my stablecoin, who is routing money through it, or where the profits land.
Then I would let the loop run. Weaker dollar drives demand for "stable" digital alternatives. The law I passed forces those alternatives to buy T-bills. That funds the government's debt. My family takes profit on every transaction. Foreign central banks walking away from Treasuries get replaced by legally mandated stablecoin reserves my family controls.
Then I would use sanctions to start cutting countries off from the dollar system entirely. And when those countries need a new way to transact in dollars, the only federally chartered private digital dollar in existence is mine. They can buy it through shell companies nobody can trace because I deleted the ownership database.
I just built a toll booth on the global financial system. I take a cut every time someone uses the dollar. And I made it so nobody can see who is paying.
And every single step I just described has already happened.
So what does that mean for you and I?
The reason the United States can borrow at low rates and keep your mortgage and your car payment and your import prices stable is because foreign central banks hold trillions in dollar reserves. That system has always been public. The benefit went to everyone. Lower borrowing costs, cheaper goods , and the single biggest economic advantage any country has ever had.
What I just described is the privatization of that function. The entity buying the debt is no longer a central bank acting in the public interest. It is a private company taking 75% of net profits for one family. The reserve function used to generate a public benefit. Now it generates a private fee.
Your purchasing power shrinks every time the dollar weakens. Your 401k buys less in real terms. Everything you import costs more. And every time the dollar drops, demand for the private digital alternative goes up. The one the president's family owns. The one that by law must buy government debt.
You absorb the cost of a weakening dollar. His family collects the profit. That is the trade.
The enforcement mechanism to stop a sitting president from doing this? There isn't one. Former White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter says it would be a violation for literally any other federal employee, but not the president.
Nobody voted for this. No one was asked. There was no debate. There is no enforcement mechanism. There is no one investigating it. The Senate tried and it was blocked.
This is the largest conflict of interest in American history happening in broad daylight while everyone argues about something else.
So what do you do? Share this. Make it impossible to ignore. Send it to your representative, your senator, every journalist you follow. We make them answer for it.
Because the only thing protecting this scheme right now is the fact that not enough people understand it yet.

There is not a single K-12 public school in the United Stares that transitioned any students. Not one.
Y’all think we just keep an operating room back behind the cafeteria or something and trans kids during recess?
People are so dumb.

One of the deciding factors in choosing our new Arlington Heights home last October… we are across the street from an elementary school.
My wife and I were born as teacher’s kids.
With our combined 73 years years of teaching, we love being reminded of why it mattered.
This morning was the first day of school for Dryden Elementary. It was sunny with a hint of fall in the air.
I saw over 500 parents delivering their happy kids. 🙂
The parents took thousands of happy pictures and stuck around for over 20 minutes after the kids entered school.
It got me thinking. 🤔
It’s a strange contradiction: We love our own kids. We appreciate their teachers. We like our neighborhood schools. Yet somehow, we’ve convinced ourselves that public schools are a disaster, teachers are failing, and an entire generation of kids are lazy and entitled.
I never bring up public education around adults. They routinely jump on “kids these days”… disrespectful, violent, and spoiled rotten. Public schools are cesspools. Teachers are incompetent and brainwash kids.
The same people say the opposite about their own kids, their kids’ teachers, and their own kids’ schools.
Schools matter. See the good. Have a great school year.

Cignetti is an essentialist. He goes big on what matters.
I coached track 44 years, 🏈 25 years, 🏀 13.
Also raised 4 kids on two teacher salaries.
My hobbies had to be *home-based* and *inexpensive*.
All I did was run and read.
Going through old books as a get ready for the new school year. Is there any reason to keep any of my Lucy Calkins titles?

I’m a doctor. This executive order is wrong. The President does not have the expertise to make these changes.
Vaccines are overwhelmingly safe. Vaccines are effective. Vaccines DO NOT cause autism.
Breaking up vaccines will mean children have to get more shots to get the same protection, not fewer shots. It will increase hesitancy and make children less safe.
Parents should listen to their child’s pediatrician about vaccines rather than listening to an inaccurate executive order. This is so wrong.

At this point, NOT prioritizing speed, health, joy, etc is a choice.
Replying to @josh_jostes @coachbdixon
Love this.
Using sprint times to get feedback about early dosage.
Speed is the barometer of HEALTH.
When you time stuff you learn stuff.
Can you imagine how slow teams were after a traditional week of two-a-days???
Maybe -2 or -3 mph! But no one knew.

Last night, I recorded a FTC Podcast with Cale Sanders @CoachSanders88, HC of the Carlsbad Cavemen.
Carlsbad was the first 🏈 team accepted into the @universal_speed FTC Academy.
They’ve gone 100% Sprint Based Football after attending our clinic in Saraland, AL, in Jan 2025.
