8/24/2010

We are getting some much needed rain. Practice as usual. Don't forget to come by the field house after practice to pick up your tickets to the scrimmage at Tulsa Union this Friday. If you buy tickets from the Gold Club this week, instead of waiting to purchase them at the gate, your money goes to our program instead of Tulsa Union.

Gold will start their offensive meetings at 2:15. Find your coach after you dress so you know where your position meeting will be.

05-17-2010

We will do core lifts and try to get you out of here by 3:00 today. We may practice at an indoor facility off campus tomorrow. We must have emergency procedure cards for everyone who goes with us. Check with Coach Braggs and see if he has one on file for you.
Don't forget physicals will be offered in the commons on tuesday from 6:00-8:00pm. Be prepared to go straight there after practice. Get it done here for only $10 and you don't have to worry about it for another year.

With the threat of bad weather through most of the week, we have made arrangments to practice at an indoor practice facility as early as Tuesday. We will bus to the practice site and back. We may not get back to the field house until approximately 6:00, rather than being finished at 5:15, like we originally planned. Players must have an emergency procedure card on file to go with us. Coach Braggs will be checking the list of players on Monday. If you don't have one on file, you will need to bring it with you Tuesday, or you will not travel with us.

05-14-2010 update

The track meet has been postponed until Monday. Since a number of our coaches will not be here, we will not start spring football until Tuesday.

05-14-2010

Good luck to the track teams going to the state meet today. Bring home a championship!
Enjoy the yearbook signing today and your weekend. Come ready to practice hard on Monday.

05-13-2010

Slight change of plans today. We are going to max on all 4 lifts today. We will start with the squat and hang clean, then finish with the bench and dead lift. With the yearbook distribution tomorrow, we're not sure we will get all players here at the same time. You will have 3 attempts to reach your max. You should start at a weight you know you can get, then challenge yourself.
Practice in pads on Monday. Let's take that next step.

05-12-2010

What is your purpose for being in this program? Are you here to take from it or give yourself to it? If all you want is the honor and recognition of being in a successful program, you are missing the big picture. We all owe it to those who have gone before us to continue building upon the significant legacy that has been established. It doesn't come easy. It takes hard work and a commitment. You have to pay the price to continue the success. You should never have the mindset that you will rest on what has been accomplished, but build on it.

05-10-2010

We will be doing 1 rep maxes in the weight room on Thursday and Friday. We will do squat and clean on Thursday and bench and dead lift on Friday. Don't forget the lift-a-thon if you need help paying for summer camps.
Everyone should have a helmet. We will start checking out the rest of the equipment today.
Make sure you are locking your valuables in your locker.

05-06-2010

As a Southmoore football player, you will have influence over other people. Will it be good or bad? You need to care about other people more than yourself and live it out everyday.
Gameday in the weight room today and tomorrow. Come mentally prepared to compete against your former self.
Turn your paperwork in to the proper coach.

05-05-2010

"Be in the right place at the right time for the good of your team." You know where you are supposed to be and what you are supposed to be doing. Make good choices about how you use your time.
Seniors, you are in the last days of high school off-season and you will never get it back. Make the most of it.

05-04-2010

Great turn out at the meeting last night. Thank you to all those in attendance. There was a lot of paperwork handed out last night, so make sure you get your forms filled out and turned in to the proper coach. If you didn't make it last night, all paperwork can be picked up in the coaches office.
Prepare your mind to attack the pyramid work out on Thursday and Friday.

05-03-2010

It's already May! Football will be here before you know it. Parent meeting in the commons tonight at 6:30. Spring football practice is only 2 weeks away. Make sure you are doing everything you can to prepare to be your best.

04-30-2010

Don't forget the parent meeting Monday. We need everyone to be there. It will be in the commons of the high school at 6:30, with an open house in the field house following.
Players, be in the right place at the right time for the good of the team. Be the kind of teammate who is accountable. Look for reasons to be at practice, not reasons to miss. Remember Coach Melot's favorite quote....If you are 5 minutes early, you are 10 minutes late.

04-28-2010

I need t-shirt sizes for Tulsa Camp. If you plan to go, you need to pick up a form and give me your size by Monday. If you are worried about the cost, you can raise the money in our Lift-A-Thon in May. The coaching staff would like all players to attend. If you will not be able to, you need to let one of the coaches know why.

04-27-2010

As we start having college coaches visit our campus, it is a great time to ask.....Are you the kind of person that works harder when you know they are watching you? If you are, then they will probably not be interested in you. You need to be the kind of person who works at the same level all the time. The people who are truly successful are intrinsically motivated. That means that they are determined to do their very best, no matter who is watching. Those are the people who are going to be successful in the things they pursue.
Ecclesiastes 9:10 says "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might."

 04-26-2010

The parent meeting is one week away. We need everyone to make plans to attend, It will be in the commons at 6:30. Parents of 9th graders will start in the media center and then join the rest of us in the commons. There will be an open house in the field house following the meeting for all those who would like to tour the facility.

04-19-2010

Players and parents you need to be on the lookout for a letter arriving at your house.  This letter is about the parent meeting and summer dates. Today we start our 4 X 6 workout with lower body.  We need to make sure that we are not missing school and workouts.  This is the time to get better.

04-16-2010

I would like to remind the parents and players to checkout the updated calendar.  We had to make a couple of adjustments.  We are attending the 3rd Session of the Tulsa Team Camp.  More information will come out later.  Upper Body in the weightroom today.  Press On.

04-15-2010

What an opportunity to better ourselves.  Lower body workouts.  Remember to keep up with the calendar.  All important dates are posted.  College camps and Southmoore Camps as well.  Sign up for the next ACT.

04-14-2010

Today will be working a heavy lifting day 3 X 10.   Rememeber:  It is not about just showing up but about dominating the iron everyday.  Don't forget about the Athletic Village sales rep being there today and like always it is " A Great Day to be a SaberCat!"
