“One person’s obedience can impact many.” I told @JBIV000 that when he started in player development. Last week I saw the impact of his work firsthand at @DukeFOOTBALL. He’s intentional, relational, & respected. Podcast drops next week. Don’t miss it. #PlayerDevelopment

I’ll never forget the day a Houston Cougar football legend returned… Homeless. Overweight. Crying. That moment changed my life—and my mission. It showed me why player development is non-negotiable. 🎧 youtu.be/0jzyliAKzdg

You don’t need a role to create impact. The title doesn’t make the difference. You do. Whether you’re in a role, between roles, or building your own lane— Keep showing up. Keep serving. Keep making impact. The game changes because of you. 🧵⬇️ #PlayerDevelopment
