A2 biggest issue is selling undersized players. So many college coaches hung up on height/weight instead of heart/work ethic!
#TXHSFBCHAT

Feb 1 @ 9:27 PM EST
A2 with the new rules in ms juco this year coaches weren't allowed to come to watch guys out of their region til they were done

A2: One of the biggest problems is the difference between kid/parent expectation and reality of situation/athletic ability
#txhsfbchat
CoachJoshHadden
Feb 1 @ 9:28 PM EST
A2: See too many GOOD kids get passed over. "Too short" "doesn't fit at next level". Even when that kid whips the ⭐️ they're👀 at

Feb 1 @ 9:34 PM EST
A2) "Enemies of the Program" selling BS to players/parents. Many want $ for 7 on7, training, recruiting service
#TXHSFBCHAT

A3: We expect them to workout in offseason and compete in something after school. If they don't make the team, they made track!
#txhsfbchat
CoachJoshHadden
Feb 1 @ 9:37 PM EST
A3: Maintain grades, 2nd sem determines eligibility 4 next season. Play another sport or participate in after-school workouts

Q4: What are your thoughts on players getting "outside football training"? How widespread is it? Do you have any oversight?
#txhsfbchat
Coach_Shea23
Feb 1 @ 9:40 PM EST
A3 Weight program for any not playing anything else. Weightroom is most important part of offseason. Strength, injury prevention
#TXHSFBCHAT
CoachRmcD60
Feb 1 @ 9:41 PM EST
A4 it's extremely wide spread hopefully have open communication with family and can guide kid to good coach if that's what want

A4: We have more that go to the local fitness center rather than our weight room. We want our kids working/sweating together
#txhsfbchat
CoachChadJ
Feb 1 @ 9:43 PM EST
A4: no oversight Take outside training with grain of salt. Remember trainer is there to make $. Tell kids what they want to hear
#txhsfbchat
CoachJoshHadden
Feb 1 @ 9:43 PM EST
A4: The ones ran by actual school coaches seem to be OK. There are others ran by "legends in their own mind" making a hustle.
#txhsfbchat
coachmolzen
Feb 1 @ 9:44 PM EST
A4) I'm ok if it's a supplement & not an alternative to working w/ us. In the fall, if you don't do what we ask you won't play.

#txhsfbchat
CoachChadJ
Feb 1 @ 9:57 PM EST
A6 con't data determines workouts helps track gains made... especially in weight room
#txhsfbchat
coachjdjones
Feb 1 @ 9:59 PM EST
A6: track maxes (ben, sqt, pc) I don't worry about Ht/Wt or 40 times. We track the 400m (2015 state champs in 4x4, state record)
