EQualizer Football Faxuals: Stance: All Football palys begin with a stance. In recent years, we have seen more and more stances like the one on the right along the high school...
OK - there is somone who posted up a comment which may or may not be appropriate. Since this person will not ID themself, I will not put his comment up on the board.
Basically my response is this: Strength & Conditioning Programs like BFS (who has proven to be the best HS S&C program EVER) elevate the athleticism of your HS line and the LSU stance appropriate to use at the HS Level. IT WORKS. You argument is mute.
Starting the BFS Program with kids coming out of the 4th Grade and continuing with them till they graduate, puts them on an Upward Spiral of Success that is self actualizing. Their SR Year the line would average a 315 bench, 500+ Squat, 325 Power Clean. It's all about reps and proper form & technique. You as their coach need to become knowledgable enough; open the facilities for them to become what they are capable of becoming.
The youth of today are just like youth of previous generations with the exception that as a group they have the potential to become bigger, faster, stronger than any previous generations. New Olympic and World Records being chalked up at the Olympics we are witnessing testify to that effect. This generation will do amazing things - things never though possible IF we just encourage them to do their best, coach them up as much as we can, & get out of their way.
The only question in this is, "Will You?"

ON FELLOWSHIP/TEAMWORK
In our society such Fellowship is found in church & also athletic teams. Magic Johnson & Larry Bird come to mind - Rivals united with a common cause: Magic’s disease.
This is why we need to be in Fellowship with one another & why we are most alive when united with others in pursuit of a common goal, spiritual and/or athletic; they are so very, very much the same. The role of a preacher & his flock is so very similar to a coach leading his team.
Here’s what we know from the Sociologists/Psychologists: Either we as a society will come together and form teams for our kids to be part of (church groups, athletic teams, orchestras, thespians, Scouts, 4-H, etc) or gangs will come in to fill the void.
Look at what is happening in Chicago. Due to the state of the welfare-state economy, the citizens of Chicagoland have cut back so severely on extras, the community giving is so low, 72.5%+ of the children have been abandoned by their fathers, the only ‘fellowship’ provided is the negative fellowship of rival gangs.
As the number of people on food stamps increases, so does the senseless death rate. As schools & communities cut program after program, the death rate increases. And we do not need to form a committee and study the stats for the next 5 years. We as a society need to immediately implement counter measures to save our children & their future.
A six year old was killed this week in Colorado when her mother took her to a midnight movie. Where was the father? Why was this family at home saying their prayers? Why were they not fast asleep. When my two oldest were 6, bedtime was 7PM; or should I say that is when we got into bed and read “Green Eggs & Ham” . . . . again. When the two youngest were 6, it was stretched to 9PM when we read “One Fish – Two Fish; Red Fish – Blue Fish” . . . . again. When I tried to skip a few pages to hurry things along, couldn’t. They had it memorized, “Dad! You forgot a page.”
That’s the memory. Ask them. Unfortunately, that 6 year old will never know the rest of the story. BUT, you do. It is now up to you to do something about it. Get Busy!
Be Blessed
If we do not meet beforehand, I’ll see you at The Gates!
