HOLD THE ROPE!
Every year a professional football team wins the championship. Every
year a college football team wins the NCAA title. Every year the best
high school team in Division A on down wins the state crown. All these
teams have one thing in common. No matter how tough it became throughout
their season, they did one thing -- they held the rope!
What is "holding the rope?" Imagine that you are hanging from the edge
of a cliff with a drop of twenty thousand feet. The only thing between
you and an fall to your death is a rope, with the person of your choice
on the other end. Who do you know that has the guts to pull you to
safety? Who will hold the rope? Who do you know that is going to let
that rope burn their hand and not let go? How many people that you know
are going to withstand the burning pain and watch the blood drip from
their hands for you?
If you can name two people, that's not good enough, because those two
people might not be around. The next time your team is together, look
around and ask yourself, "Who could I trust to hold the rope? Who is
going to let their hands bleed for me?" When you can look at every
member on your team and say to yourself that they all would hold the
rope, you are destined to win a lot of ball games. You see, the team
that holds the rope when the going gets tough are winners. When you are
down by four points with thirty seconds to go, don't give up. Yell at
your teammates to "hold the rope -- let it burn but don't let go!"
Every year there are winners and losers in all sports. Every year the
winners hold the rope. You don't have to have the best team on the field
to win the game. If you play with poise and do what your coaches ask of
you, and most of all -- hold the rope -- you will be successful. No
matter what sport you play, in order to win, you have to have a
commitment to your team. If you are supposed to run four times per
week, do it. If you have to lift weights four times per week, don't
miss. Once you start letting up at practice or start missing your
workouts, you've killed the team because you didn't hold the rope!
Don't let your team down! You've got to hold the rope!

R'S
Been busy lately with track and field finishing up and Spring football starting.
RUNNING
We were lucky enough to have Steve Silvey coach track and field with us this season. He did an amazing job and helped our sophomore hurdler win state in the 110's and get 3rd in the 300's. Coach Silvey also does a great job with his clinics and resources as well. Link to his site is below

READING
Recently have read two great books
Starting STrength - Mark Rippitoe & Lon Kilgore
Never Let Go - Dan John
Two easy reads that had very helpful information and was written with a reader who wasnt wearing a lab coat in mind.
Also just purchased 5/3/1 powerlifting e book by Jim Wendler
RECOVERY
This has done absolute wonders for me. I use a tennis ball before any squat or deadlift workout for app. 5 minutes and is amazing! Follow up with a foam roller post workout - gonna upgrade to the harder looking foam roller

IMPRESSIVE STUFF
NATIONAL INDOOR SHOT RECORD - OVER 77 FEET
I thought the record that never ever would be broken - was Michael Carters outdorr shot record of over 81 feet. Looks like this kid is gonna make a run at it.
Dont see many non reverse non American throwers, especially dont see many high school non reverse throwers
Stephen Saenz from Auburn - 4th place at Indoor Championship - only a redshirt freshmen!
Coach Howell from Rio Grande City is one of the best. Next post will put up his notes from clinic - also he has video that is very helpful and has Saenz demonstrating all the drills and throws
WOW! Even if not a fan of MMA - this is awesome!
