COLLEGE FOOTBALL TODAY

The process that is being developed in the world of College Football Today shouldn't be a surprise in the current social climate in the United States of America. It takes real men to stand up against what has been created in our society today and only those who are able to completely flip their focus, can withstand the many storms that have come upon us. If you haven't noticed, football is quite a diverse selection of human beings and they are ultimately striving to reach the same individual goals. Those who are able create a positive change through a devastating storm will surpass many in the coming future, as God honors those who abide by his commandments. This article has little to do with football and more to do with the privilege God bestowed upon us to enact his grace, mercy and compassion towards other human beings. When I finally got on Twitter today, I was expecting a massive wave of destruction, but instead I found hope. Tony Dungy is leader of men and I have never developed more respect for an individual throughout my daily process of individual growth. Let's just say when Tony talks or Tweets, I am all ears, as the man is the epitome of what I want to become as a man.

RACIAL INEQUALITY

I learned about racial inequality from the Stillmatic CD released by NAS, who was my favorite artist as a child growing up in South Jersey. When it came to his lyrics, they actually met something and stuck in my head forever. I blame him also for helping me develop my competitive nature against much larger competition (Ether). In the song "What Goes Around", Nas talks more about how America formed as a nation, through much hate, devastation and what some call conquering. It also helped derive the true meaning of capitalism, as many human lives were manipulated and or taken away from them. Nas is actually speaking from a Biblical stand-point about the entirety of the situation, as Galatians chapter 6 speaks volumes into our everyday lives.

GALATIANS 6

Galatians chapter 6 can be found below at College Football Today.

"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life."

Jeremiah 17:9

Many will point out a million verses to make you feel like you are not fully capable in God's of eyes of creating the world you want to live in. I like to study the Why's, as sometimes they can be overwhelming and incomprehensible, until you are able to jump into the right rabbit hole of higher education. The Bible states in Jeremiah 17:9 that the human heart is deceitful above all things and we must acknowledge that all men have fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). In Luke chapter 6:37, the Bible states: Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you." I mean, no matter how you feel about "Religion", as I don't have on either, you can't discredit the BIBLE and sources we could use to GET BETTER in a HURRY!

POLICE BRUTALITY

When addressing police brutality, we need to start during the hiring process and use psychological studies to learn more about who is being placed in a authoritative position to protect and serve our communities. The many advancements in psychology will help us identify who is joining the force for POWER over another human being or if they truly want to protect and serve the United States of America. I know many great police officers like Tony Leone, who had a major impact in my life and taught me the basic principals through "Young Life" on how to be a man. We need more men like Tony and less like we are witnessing killing other innocent human beings.

CFB LEGENDS

CFB legends are created both on and off the field, as I would like to give a shout out to all of the CFB legends that make our world of better place. We will be re-tweeting all of the positive actions that are taking place from CFB legends at College Football Today. @CollegeFBtoday Reformation Equality in our process and daily lives.

The black community needs our help. They have been unheard for far too long. Open your ears, listen, and speak. This isn’t politics. This is human rights.

There has to be a shift in the way of thinking. Rational must outweigh irrational. Justice must outweigh injustice. Love must outweigh hate.

If you put yourself in someone else’s shoes and you don’t like how it feels-that’s when you know things need to change.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL TODAY

College Football Today was built off the key principles needed to operate at a high level not only in football, but in everyday life. In getting to know quite a diverse selection of individuals throughout my life in football, as a player, trainer and coach. I have learned that many simply refuse to grow individually because of mental roadblocks, that sadly have been created by the heavily saturated and media driven world we live in today. I pulled an exert from the article I wrote back in March of 2017 and it explains most of what I have been studying for the past five years working in college football recruiting. I do not claim to know everything, but from studying how the best in the game have achieved success throughout their careers and from using over a million personal life experiences, combined with studying child & sports psychology, physics, kinetics and neurology. I not only made myself a much better athlete/student at 30 years of age, but also learned a lot about how our brain functions daily in a highly chaotic social media driven culture. I didn't even want to join Twitter after watching this video, but I never really cared what others thought about me, as I learned from a very young age that others perceptions are clearly not reality. - Article is below, as it was poorly edited due to the lack of knowledge of how the wide scope of the world wide web really works in 2017.
I also am omitting some parts, as I used to really come on kinda of strong. Keep in mind while reading, we live in a world that B.O.B thinks is flat and others truly believe they are in an alternate universe.

Article re-release from March 11th, 2017 on Scout Trout Breaking News Feed

“The two hemispheres of the visual brain work like slots, but within each slot, it’s a pool. We also found that the bottleneck is not in the remembering, it is in the perceiving.” That is, when the capacity for each slot is exceeded, the information does not get encoded very well…."

PASSION

When you first are able to find your passion and now have decided this is where I want be, you must now figure out the process on how to achieve these goals. Nothing great in life ever comes easy and those who think they are "owed" something, tend to dwindle away very quickly and are working desk jobs. Somewhere along the line they lost "The Process" and decided that they were either content with where they were and/or they lost the drive needed to succeed in that field. From having been around this game so long, I once forgot my process. I had forgotten what made me great and was content on not evolving into something different. Through vast studies of the human brain, which were experienced first hand, through some pretty bad concussions, I came to realize that this is the part of the game most guys are missing. Some simply never were taught the proper mind control and you can tell are reckless players who also carry that off the field. You can master all of the training in the world and become a athletic freak, but if you cannot control what you have, you will find yourself lost in the vast wilderness of life after football. - Notes 3+ years later: I believe coaches are doing a better at preparing student-athletes mentally, as well as physically. From working with youth & adult players in 1 on 1 sessions, I found that the youth were much more coach-able and more adaptable to learning than most adults.

GENETIC MAKEUP

Every individual or species is born completely differently and is made up of thousands cells that work together vigorously to make us function. I found a exert to back up my very obvious conclusion, from constantly studying people in general and kicking/playing through concussions. I have also have signed with 19 pro teams up until this point, so I have gotten the chance to meet a extremely diverse selection of people, most I call friends. Here is what www.ScanBerlin.com had to say about "The Athletic Brain'. "First of all, mental processes that need to be taken into account for top performance accomplishment in sports are, for example, motivation, selective attention, goal setting, working memory and decision making. All these processes also happen “between our ears” – in the command center in our head – and contribute to our performance in various ways.

Second, and this might often be overlooked, our brain controls motor execution as well. When bending your leg to kick a football or stretching your arm to dynamically dive into water, the respective motor areas in your brain are active and constitute the cause of these actions."

What exactly does this mean in let's say, Football talk! Well, as you can see they mention a portion about kickers, but let's start at the top and go through the examples given. The first one has to be the easiest to train and that is motivation! If you do not have the motivation to put in the work, then I would go find something that actually motivates you. But once you are able to find that motivation, we must maintain that passion every single day, by any means possible. We must wake up every morning trying to master every fine detail, in order for the big things to come to fruition. - Read Nick Saban The Only Way To The Top on the Scout Trout Elite News Feed.

SELECTIVE ATTENTION

Secondly, they mention selective attention which the definition is : "the capacity for or process of reacting to certain stimuli selectively when several occur simultaneously." Basically this is stating you have multiple things occurring on the field at once, like a running back having to make a quick decisive jump cut, to avoid Ray Lewis. Only to find out that was the wrong stimuli response needed and have to go back to the drawing board, after laying flat on his back. The running back's selective attention was not up to the standards it needed to be and the synapses did not react quick enough, to the reaction. I would think that Quarterback's would have to have superior "Selective Attention", because of all they have to compartmentalize very quickly and decisively. Goal Setting is a tricky one because it appears to me that everyone has the same SUPER STAR goals, but fail to set small goals to make the larger dream a reality. This is where developing a everyday "process" can really start to change your outlook. We must conquer our fears and find a way to make our weaknesses our strengths in this game, or you will be devoured. Why? Well, as I stated above, everyone and their dog wants to play football, at a high level. So do you think they are sitting around watching the NCAA basketball tournament all day, or are they breaking down every fine detail of their respective film, to achieve greatness? Are the proper hours being put in to the intuitive training that is constantly evolving today? What good is that Masters degree if everything has changed and you were left behind, in the dust, with a piece of paper. The best I have met at their profession admit that they kept learning everyday after they received that piece of paper. We should never stop learning or evolving, for the simple fact or fear of being passed up. - Read Recruiting 101 PT.3 on theScout Trout News Feed.

WORKING MEMORY

Working memory is the ability to juggle things in your head, and the ability to solve problems while shifting through them. This also would play a HUGE role in most athletic situations, because we have a lot of problems on the field. For example, a linebacker in blitzing and gets cut blocked, only to get picked up by the fullback and somehow solves that problem with a outstanding swim move, after regaining balance. This is solving the problem in a very quick synaptic way and using your supreme athletic prowess to the max. I have a great article to link about the "Athletic Brain" and also on why "Working Memory" is so important in sports. Here is a exert from axon potential. “Our study shows that both the slot and pool models are true,” says Miller. “The two hemispheres of the visual brain work like slots, but within each slot, it’s a pool. We also found that the bottleneck is not in the remembering, it is in the perceiving.” That is, when the capacity for each slot is exceeded, the information does not get encoded very well….

What is so interesting about these findings is that they can be used to great effect right away. It is rare that neuroscientific research is so immediately and broadly applicable.
“The fact that we have different capacities in each hemisphere implies that we should present information in a way that does not overtax one hemisphere while under-taxing the other,” explains Buschman. “For example, heads-up displays (transparent projections of information that a driver or pilot would normally need to look down at the dashboard to see) show a lot of data. Our results suggest that you want to put that information evenly on both sides of the visual field to maximize the amount of information that gets into the brain.”
"The application to sports can be immediate as well. Let’s think about a football quarterback. A quarterback with an average working memory capacity can accurately keep track of and make good decisions about four receivers at a time. This research implies that receiver sets that space receivers more evenly across the quarterback’s visual field could optimize his working memory capacity, and possibly make it easier for him to find the open man or make good decisions.
On the other side of the ball, blitzing defenses might use the strategy of overloading one side of the quarterback’s visual field, with the knowledge that it will be nearly impossible for the quarterback to keep track of each defender, due to the limitations of working memory and perception.
This knowledge has huge potential to inform play design in football, basketball, or any other sport where manipulating player position could be used to create an advantage based on exploiting the weaknesses of our brain’s working memory capacity. It is just one more example of how neuroscience is opening doors for the thinking coach and athlete to gain an advantage." - Notes: Football has not only taught me many life values and lessons, but it has also shown me how the world we live operates on a Global scale.

DECISION MAKING

Decision making is crucial in sports and our brain handles all of that, including all of our motor function. When Aaron Rodgers drops back to pass he must make use his quick synaptic readings and quick release, to deliver the ball to the proper destination. He obviously has trained his brain to make the proper decisions, while firing his muscles to make the proper reaction, to push the ball down field like no other. So how do we become like Aaron Rodgers? Or like Adam Viniteri? Or like any other amazing athlete in the sport of football? We find a way to master their process and tweak it, to make it our own. - Notes: I realized throughout my career I was too prepared for what I am doing now. This is not a cocky statement, this is how God can drastically change your the course of your life in less than 5 seconds. Note 2: Do not give anyone a reason to write about you in a negative fashion in today's media, as many will over-dramatize the statistics and fabricate the facts. What makes it even saddening, it appears they enjoy doing it.

MY WHY'S

I said I was going to My Why's and when you see how the STEP ratings were built, you will start to learn more about why we choose to start College Football Today. Where I come from, real men know how to build a house that can withstand any storm that come it's way. If you ever need help in creating your own personal storm, call on God, he is the master of designing things.
Article continued below, when I was working out still as an NFL Free Agent in Phoenix, Arizona.

So now that we know a little about how we cognitively function, how do we master these skills? Football is a game of inches and sometimes life comes down to one decision or another, that ultimately effects our final destination. The trickle effect in life and sport is so significant, I can relay story after story of studying the superior athlete. Studying my actions to reactions off the field was not fun, but I had to learn from my mistakes if I was going to attempt to coach in the game I love. Studying my actions to reactions on the field always made me smile and I then realized I had to become more mentally sound. If you know me, I do not do anything at even 90 %. I have such a high motor that is sometimes difficult being a kicker. But that process is being mastered through mental training and diet. So we must all create a everyday process, in order to achieve optimal success on the field and master the 5.5' golf course, Bobby Jones spoke of back in the day. My process started in my Bible and trusting in my lord and savior Jesus Christ and mastering his process first, which is also a ever evolving process. Each process is going to be different and figuring out the why's and making necessary corrections are vital for optimal growth. So first you must find the right source of knowledge to train "smarter not harder" and maximize your full God given potential. Simply put, no one will have all of the answers, but I do have a lists of great coaches at every position on Twitter. See success is something most people think is given out freely these days and while participation trophies are at a all time high, so is the hypocrisy. So we must earn every accomplishment/opportunity on our own.

FOOTBALL RECRUIT RANKINGS

Welcome to the STEP football recruit rankings re-release student-athlete educational platform, that has been in development since I was 6 years of age. Everybody will talk about this and that, as their brains are currently unable to process the current information that they are being given. So let them talk, as they will NEVER be able to keep you from developing your own daily process through diligence, dedication, passion and good ole fashion hard work. My number one why is to help you guys become the total package man and football recruit, so when you walk-on campus, you are not only a game changer, but have the influence to direct our nation towards positive change. When you wake up to brush your teeth in the morning, make sure to take a quick glance in the mirror at your only competition and figure out a a way to get better. One last thing, if you have an issue with young men getting better and the STEP program, I would love to hear from you. Email me at CollegeFBtoday@gmail.com. Email and reply will be posted to Twitter and all of our social media outlets. God bless and thank you to all who have served the United States of America.
