I finally got the pods in and every athlete in the group is getting baseline numbers. We’re keeping this simple and tight. Each player will go through 2–3 short reaction and speed tests so I can track their quickness, agility, and overall performance. This isn’t a one-off. These tests will be repeated every one to three months so we can monitor real improvement and hold everyone accountable. If they’re getting faster, the data will show it. If they’re not, the data will show that too. Parents, I need ONE thing from you before testing: comment your child’s BIRTH YEAR.Not their age. Their birth year. This lets me set up their BlazePod profile correctly so the system can compare their numbers against age-appropriate standards and track progress over time. Once the profile is created, every test gets logged automatically. You’ll know exactly: • How fast they react • How quick they change direction • How much they improve every test cycle • Whether they’re keeping up with expectations for their age This helps me coach smarter and helps your kid get sharper and more competitive. Drop their birth year in the comments now.I’ll take care of everything else.

Parents, part of my program is showing up to your kids’ real games so I can evaluate their performance, decision making, and overall growth under pressure. Earlier today I went to watch Elijah play in a match against the club I used to coach for. That game gave me a crystal clear look at his strengths, his confidence on the ball, and what he needs to work on next. This is exactly why seeing players in-game matters. I want to do the same for your child. If you want me to come watch their next game, comment “GAME” below. I’ll follow up with the time and location. Let’s keep pushing their development forward.

Training is ON tonight. We are back on Field #5 again. What to know: - Same regular Friday routine as usual - Arrive 10–15 minutes early to warm up properly - Bring: water, cleats, and a focused attitude Parents, if your player is coming tonight, drop a quick “Confirmed” in the comments so I know who to expect.

Parents, tonight’s coaching call walked your kids through the exact nutrition habits they need to stay sharp during the holidays. This is the time of year when most players fall off. Heavy meals, zero structure, and inconsistent routines destroy performance. I refuse to let your athlete slide backward. The replay video and presentation are attached for you. Watch it with your child or have them watch it on their own. Everything in this call is built to help them feel better, move better, and start the new year ahead of everyone else. What we covered: • How to balance holiday foods without tanking performance • The 80 to 20 eating rule to keep energy stable • Smart holiday snack swaps for athletes • How hydration impacts speed, reactions, and focus • Simple movement goals to stay active during busy weeks • One habit every player must commit to this week This call was for both parents and players. Make sure your athlete watches the replay so they don’t fall into the holiday slump that slows down most kids. Let me know in the comments one nutrition habit your kid is committing to this week.

Parents and players, I hope you enjoy today with your families. Be present, eat well, recharge, and appreciate the people around you. I’m grateful for every athlete who shows up hungry to get better and every parent who invests in their kid’s growth. This program is only getting stronger because of the commitment you bring every week. Enjoy the day, and come back ready to work.
