🐻🏈🧱 THE TRENCH MOB.
@MSUBearsFB OL is holding it down, ranking T-No. 7 in the FCS in sacks allowed with just 3 surrendered this season.
Protecting the QB. Opening lanes. Setting the tone.🦾

Football Mother Generals Fundraiser. This is an amazing group that not only supports the football program but has supported the football family past and present!
IT’S GOING TO BE HOT THIS WEEK!
Don’t wait until practice to start hydrating. Your performance (and safety) depends on it.
Start NOW
16-20 oz of water first thing in the morning
16-20oz water 2-3hrs before
8oz every 15-20min during
Replace electrolytes after 60+ min sessions

10 Reasons Your Youth Athletic Development Program Sucks
1. You coach for ideal technique instead of letting kids problem-solve.
2. You program sessions like you're training adults.
3. You reach for dumbbells and barbells before dodgeballs, crash mats, ropes, and playground equipment.
4. You think games are just for fun instead of recognizing them as reactive athletic development.
5. You coach every rep instead of letting kids fail, adjust, and figure shit out.
6. You think agility means cones and ladders instead of reacting, deciding, chasing, escaping, and competing.
7. You make speed training look like track practice instead of giving kids reasons to actually run fast.
8. You eliminate chaos instead of teaching kids how to move within it.
9. You confuse making kids tired with making kids more athletic.
10. Your program looks like a workout. It doesn't look like childhood.

Control what you can control:
🏈 Your attitude.
🏈 Your effort.
🏈 Your response to coaching.
🏈 Your commitment to getting 1% better every day.
Be Committed. Open-Minded. Accountable. Curious. Humble. Adaptable. Bought In. A Learner. Eager.
That’s what coaches love to coach.

Don’t compare your abilities, your playing time, or your progress to someone else’s.
"Comparison is the thief of joy.”
Compare yourself to who you were yesterday.
If you’re focused on everyone else’s journey, you’ll miss the progress you’re making on your own.

The greatest thing about effort? It takes ZERO talent.
Anyone can choose to:
Work hard, Go full speed.
Have the Right Mental Attitude (RMA) and be COACHABLE!
One of the biggest mistakes athletes make is comparing themselves to everyone else.

How to get faster: Pt 5
Heavy weights moved fast (strength-speed / power)
This bridges weight-room strength and on-field speed.
Use ~60–80% of 1RM with explosive intent
3–5 sets of 2–4 reps; bar should move fast.
Do this after true speed work but before heavy strength work.
Science in simple terms
Power = force × velocity; these zones hit both at once.
Olympic variations and loaded jumps produce very high power outputs that transfer well to sprinting and jumping.
Resisted sprints build sprint-specific strength and better angles in acceleration.
How to get fasterPt 4
Light weights moved fast (speed-strength)
~30–60% of your 1RM on key lifts, moving the bar as explosively as you can while staying under control
3–5 sets of 3–6 reps; stop a set if bar speed slows noticeably.
Pair with sprints or jumps early in the workout.
Exercise menu
Barbell: speed squats, speed trap-bar deadlifts, jump squats (light load).
Dumbbell/kettlebell: DB jump squats, kettlebell swings.
Upper-body power: bench throws, explosive push-ups.
How to get Faster Pt3
Lift Heavy (max strength)
Stronger legs can put more force into the ground, which is the base for speed.
Minimum 2–3 sessions per week in the off-season; 1–2 in-season.
Main lower-body lifts in the 3–6 rep range, 3–5 sets, heavy but fast (no grinders).
Prioritize compound lifts and good technique.
Exercise menu
Bilateral: back squat, front squat, trap-bar deadlift, Romanian deadlift.
Unilateral: rear-foot elevated split squat, walking lunge, step-ups.
Posterior chain: hip thrusts, Nordic hamstring curls, glute-ham raises.
How to get Faster:Pt2
Max jumps (2–3x/week)
trains elastic power and rate of force development
2–3 x/week, paired with speed or lift days
20–40 total contacts of true explosive jumps per session, not conditioning.
Focus on “jump high, land soft, stop when quality drops.”
Exercises
•Vertical: countermovement jumps, seated box jumps, hurdle jumps.
•Horizontal: broad jumps, single-leg bounds, lateral bounds.
•Elastic/plyo: pogo jumps, ankling, hurdle hops, low-level hops in place.
