    Can you imagine a HS teacher posting this negative message to their students? Sums up the depressing state of way too many HS classrooms. Athletic teams too.

    The upcoming teacher shortage will be devastating. I can't talk any high school or college kid into considering it. Makes no sense to borrow $100K to get a college degree that qualifies you for a $45K job (and it's a hard job!). My idea... Two year college program, followed

    Getting football players out for track is the #1 key to a good track team. Getting football players out for track is also the #1 key to a good football player. WIN-WIN.

    Talking with a 🏈 coach today whose staff does NOT understand the following: 1. Sprint, then lift (sprinting potentiates lifting) 2. Strength is important but speed must be THE priority. 3. Speed work doesn’t cause fatigue. 4. Endurance work is not speed training.

    My second @CoachFortney for “Coach of the Year” tweet. I observed a 90 minute workout 1st block yesterday. The 🏈 team at Enterprise (AL) works out during school day, freshmen 4th block. Really liked head coach Ben Blackman. Don’t miss this 🧵🪡🧵
