- There’s a difference between being skinny, weak, fragile & being lean, strong, resilient, and TOUGH! Smitty has proven himself beyond doubt. Never missed workouts, always practiced, no excuses, full respect @DeVontaSmith_6
00:00 - An NFL scout told me this week that he’s never seen anything like our practices. The speed. The effort. The competition. “It’s no wonder this place spits out NFL studs every year”. It’s no accident. Future first round picks battling every day in practice making each other better!
- Seeing @Landon_2012 split squat today reminded me of videos like this that prove he is not normal. Not only is he extremely athletic, he attacks every day and every challenge like no one I’ve seen.
00:00 - When you stop viewing the weight room as a place to break down athletes and start viewing it as a place to build them, your perspective on stress shifts from excess to optimal.
- Something I’ve been pondering today.... In the last 10 years I have been a part of 3 undefeated football seasons (Logan High School 2011, IMG Academy 2016, Alabama 2020). Aside from incredible coaching and very talented players, here are a few similarities that I noticed:
- I’m going to need to dig deep into the toolbox for @davellis10 by the time he’s done here. Great energy and athleticism from all of @IndianaFootball for a Monday lift this late in the season.
00:00 - Love my Alabama guys and grateful to Coach Saban for the experience. They won’t even notice I’m gone but what an experience for me! Looking ahead to new challenges but I’ll be cheering for @AlabamaFTBL this fall. #RollTide

- Congrats to Mac, DeVonta, and Najee for all being in the top 5 in Heisman votes. Incredible feat! Young players take notes. Great teammates. Hard workers. No drama. Happy for each other. Just want to do whatever the team needs for us to win. Role Models. #RollTide
- If you decide to do extra training on rest days, you can never complain about workload during heavy training sessions and cannot blame others when you burn out. Empty the tank and then recover as hard as you trained.
- His 5 TDs in 2 games are impressive but here’s the play that prompted a call from a friend who is an NFL scout. @ohthatsNajee22 hit his fastest speed of the game (21.7 mph) on this play. Effort matters and it gets noticed!
