Tuesdays have come Pullmans favorite day. Deemed “turnover Tuesday” under coach Agnew the Hounds have taken pride in winning the turnover battle all season. Friday night was no different in their 36-3 win over Dear Park. lmtribune.com/sports/hounds-…

After Friday nights win over St. Maries, Pullman (3-0) is off to their best start since the 2018-2019 season. The message has been the same every week, “Establish dominance.” lmtribune.com/sports/pullman…

Most coaches pick captains based on who is the most vocal. Research says the best captains look very different. Sam Walker studied the greatest teams in sports history for The Captain Class and found 7 traits their elite captains consistently shared. And some of them might surprise you. Here are the 7 traits of ELITE team captains: 👇

Malcolm Gladwell’s point made in 2008 about youth hockey and soccer should force football coaches and parents to examine how we evaluate development. At young ages, we often believe we are identifying the most talented athletes. In reality, we may be rewarding the players who are older, more physically mature, more coordinated, or simply further along in the developmental sequence. Once selected, those athletes receive better coaching, more repetitions, stronger competition, greater visibility, and increased confidence. Eventually, the early advantage becomes a real performance advantage. Football operates through similar selection systems. Early varsity placement, showcase invitations, recruiting exposure, reclassification, redshirting, and additional eligibility can all create access to better developmental environments. The rules establish the structure. Families will naturally study that structure and maximize the opportunity available within it. Why would they not? Coaches may dislike the proliferation of “rule maxing,” but clear eligibility guidelines produce predictable behavior. When another year can provide physical maturity, additional film, improved mechanics, greater conceptual command, or a better recruiting position, families will evaluate that option seriously. The larger coaching responsibility is to separate current performance from long-term projection. The biggest eighth grader is not automatically the best future player. The first quarterback selected is not necessarily the quarterback with the highest ceiling. Early access can create development, but early exclusion can also conceal potential. Talent evaluation must account for age, maturity, opportunity, coaching history, and repetition volume. Otherwise, we risk measuring accumulated advantage and calling it natural ability. Development is not only about where an athlete is today. It is about understanding the structure that helped him get there and what he may become with equal access, disciplined coaching, and sufficient time.

After a great conservation with @CoachNVoorhees I am blessed to receive an offer from Rocky Mountain College! @Rocky_Football
