My man!
Post-game interview with South Christian senior Hudson Kerstetter after he kicked a game-winning 19-yard field goal with 2 seconds left in the game on Friday, September 25. It was his second field goal of the game. South Christian beat Zeeland West 19-16.

Pushing yourself and achieving goals individually is an awesome component of football….but football is the greatest game because it’s hard and about the team and “travel ball” can’t take that from high school football! #FoxholeMentality

Urban Meyer says the quiet part out loud. Be the best player on your high school team first. Development > camps. Mastery > 7-on-7 trophies. College coaches recruit game tape, not weekends.

The harsh reality is if you aren’t willing to work and work hard I don’t have time for you. Don’t tell me how big the waves are just bring in the ship.

A pic from 2008 that was sent to me today. Super grateful I got to learn around Coach Blacquiere to start my career. Always grateful that he took a super young kid into the program and coaching profession back in the fall of 2001.

Curt Cignetti with a masterclass on consistency and standards. "Every play has a life and history of its own...Not affected by success. Not affected by failure. On to the next play. Never satisfied. Playing to a standard, not the circumstances of the game." Every moment is another rep in honoring your standard. Stay anchored to your standard and your consistency becomes your separator. 📹: AFCA

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 THE BILL HAS DROPPED! This is historic for every coach in Florida 🌴 For the first time, a bill finally gives school districts full authority to pay coaches what they deserve. No more outdated rules. No more limits. And very loud for the people in the back: unions will no longer control athletic stipends 🚫🗣️ The power goes directly back to the districts and the communities that know their coaches best. This bill is going to elevate the entire state: • Competitive compensation from Pensacola to Miami • Stronger hiring and retention of elite coaches • More stability for programs and student athletes • Freedom for districts to use salaries, hourly rates, bonuses, and incentives • Real pay for real work This bill opens the door for real wages, real recognition, and real hope for the men and women who build our student-athletes every single day. This is the future @PayFLCoaches has fought for. This is the future coaches deserve. Florida just stepped into a new era. Thank you @csime90, @AdamAndersonFL, @RonDeSantis for standing up for our high school coaches in Florida 💥 PLEASE RETWEET AND SHARE! Read the bill here 👇: flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/20…

What a quote from Kirby Smart here. “A lot of these kids want a check. They don’t want physicality. If you have the check and no physicality, you end with nothing. You’re not just getting checks at our place. We’re hitting people.”
