I am going crazy not being able to workout and practice football with you guys. I miss you and can't wait to get back at it but in the meantime we can still get some work done. I hope your itching to do something as well. Also, I hope you are sprinting, jumping, doing lateral movement and body weight workouts we posted on HUDL. Push yourself. This is a lot more about your MENTALITY than it is about anything else. "The true test of a man's character is what he does when no one else is watching"--John Wooden.

I'm done tracking some of you guys down. Some of the guys are not on blast so I can't communicate with them. You have to make sure the word is spread and everyone is on the same page. A couple things you need to do and be aware of:
1. Some of you need to update your blast picture. It's embarrassing. Find something with Clovis east football or you doing something football related. Try to make sure your face is in there. No helmets covering your face.
2. If you or anyone you know is having problems responding and/or getting messages call or text me personally.
3. Zoom is a video conferencing tool that has been offered to all CUSD employees. We can have over 100 people log in and video conference together at the same time. We are going to be using it to have our own team meetings and other small group meetings. I will be sending out links to the email addresses you gave me 1 hour before the scheduled meeting time, which is why the emails need to be correct, so we can get all of us live in person at the same time to ask questions, interact and just be able to see everyone's faces again. All you have to do is find the link in your email, click and your in. It is very simple. You can use your phones but I recommend a bigger screen if possible.
4. HUDL accounts. I see some of you have been logging in and watching some stuff. If you have not, you need to make sure your account is active. We will be posting some specific stuff to watch. If for some crazy reason you cannot make the Zoom meeting we will be recording the meeting and putting it on HUDL for you to watch or to go back to reference any questions you may have about defense and offense.
5. Monday at 10:00am is our 1st defensive Zoom meeting. Monday at 11:00am is our 1st Offensive Zoom Meeting. I will post the links to your email address at 9:00am. These meetings are just like anything else we do, if for some crazy reason you cannot make it, what do you need to do......communicate with me.
6. "Relentless" is a book that the Clovis East community has donated over 100 copies for us to read. The coaches are currently reading it and it is intense!! Starting Wednesday, you will need to find a way to get to Clovis East and pick up your "Homework packet", for us it's this book. If you absolutely have no way of getting over there to pick it up, what should you do.......communicate with me. The only assignment you have for the book right now is to get it on Wednesday from 10-12. We will be outside, right next to my office by the Library Lecture Hall on the Reyburn side. Find a way, no excuses. "THIS BOOK IS ABOUT FOLLOWING THOSE INSTINCTS, FACING THE TRUTH AND GETTING RID OF EXCUSES NO MATTER HOW COMPLEX AND UNATTAINABLE THEY MAY SEEM, NO MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE TELL YOU IT CAN’T BE DONE. IT CAN BE DONE!"--Relentless by Tim Grover

Earn respect! One way is through self-discipline. Can you take care of yourself or do we have to hold your hand and do everything for you. I respect men who can take care of themselves and do not need to be told what to do and don't need to be "disciplined" by others in order to get you to do something positive for yourself.

Reply "YES!" when you receive this message. See you Monday at 10:00am!!
