I’m just a HS football coach, but if I can’t even get a response to a DM/Email about one of my student-athletes… I’d be crazy to take kids to your camp. Even crazier for coaches to be offended by that notion. Kids MUST camp where they are wanted. Not where their $ is!
Being a HS coach working to get college coaches to look at your guys can be exhausting & demoralizing. Any coaches out there hitting a wall, don’t give up! Your kids need you! It’s humbling being ignored, but all it takes is one coach and school to fall in love with your kid!
No coach, trainer, family member and so on is ever the reason a kid gets a D1 offer. It’s always the kid & what he has done! Coaches, trainers, and family members may have helped A LOT, but you’re never the REASON. If this idea bothers you, maybe reevaluate yourself and your why!
Look, I get it. NYS football as a whole isn’t as great as other states, but a “dude” is a “dude” and NYS has a whole bunch that I’d put up against anyone 🤷🏾♂️@GauseKala
Had a great time at the @BuffaloBills football game today! I, along with several other great section 5 coaches, was recognized for being selected as one of Bills coaches of the week for this past fall season! Thank you for caring about NYS HS & Youth football 👏🏽
Jarvis was such a kind hearted, kid. Always respectful and always had me trying to hold my laughter in class as he fired back at someone trying to “drill” him. I can remember him asking about Alfred U and I was so proud of him when I found out he was going there. Gone too soon 😓
#UPDATE: We now know the IDs of the two young people shot & killed in this morning’s mass #RochesterShooting:
Jarvis Alexander, a 2019 grad from U-Prep
&
Jaquayla Young, a 2019 East High grad.

Introducing the newest UPREP Griffin assistant football, coach!! Gemma Marie Young. Sorry guys mom was tougher than any football player I know. Got this big girl out (9lbs 5oz) in under hour! #TrueLove
What do we have to do as coaches to get NYS to make Wilson GSTs the official game ball again? I’m sorry the Spaulding Alphas are awful and not durable at all! Wasting our money... I can’t be the only coach that feels this way.
Incredibly happy for my guy @Tavion_byrd2 starting his college journey @StonyBrookFB today! Our first early enrollee & I couldn’t be more proud of you. Can’t wait for the spring game. Go do what you do and be great! As the kids say #4L 🤞🏽#Family
Game of inches… Could not be more proud of this group. All the adversity they have faced not just this season, but in life and come that close… Amazing. One of my favorite sayings “Leave it better than you found it” and these seniors ABSOLUTELY did. #ItsAllAboutTheU#Proud
Added another to the team this past weekend, Carsyn West Young.
Mom reminded me she’s way tougher than me, and Coach Gemma is already in full big sister/supervisor mode 😂
Happy and healthy family, blessed 🙏🏽
