As we kick off the 2026 season, the calendar has flipped, and the game is calling louder than ever.
Your game season might still be months away (the regular season for many HS teams start in early August), but right now is the perfect time to lock in that championship mindset—new year, new season, fresh fire.This is your moment to reset, reload, train and dominate.
Whether you're grinding and working with PROformance, in the weight room, studying film, coaching up your squad, or just living that football life every day, here's a message to get you started strong!
The scoreboard and record from last year? Erased. Gone. The missed tackles, the dropped passes, the heartbreaking losses—they're fuel now, not chains. 0-0 record. Clean slate. Every great team, every legend from Lombardi to Brady, knows the truth: success isn't about what happened yesterday or last season. It's about what you're willing to do TODAY and every damn day until the lights come on in August!
Key mindset shifts to own and dominate this new season:
Embrace the grind now — Elite players work with PROformance, offseason workouts, film study, nutrition, recovery—it's all building the foundation. As Vince Lombardi said, "The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary." Put in the unseen reps so the seen ones look easy. Do the things, your competition is too lazy to do.
Leave last season behind — Whatever record you posted, whatever pain you felt—let it go. 2026 is a clean slate. New opponents, new opportunities, new glory waiting. Be better than you were last season!
Build unbreakable habits — Discipline over motivation. Mental toughness. Show up when you don't feel like it. Lift when you're tired. Study when you'd rather scroll. Winners are made in January, not August!
Team first, always — Football is the ultimate team sport. Lift your brothers and sisters up. Hold each other accountable. Celebrate wins together. Lift each other up in losses. Bleed together. DO YOUR JOB! 100%, 100% of the time. Everyone needs to do their job or the machine breaks. That's how dynasties are born.
Final words of encouragement; Brothers (and sisters) in pads or in flags,—2026 isn't promised to anyone. But if you're willing to pay the price, put in the work, train like your serious about the game and want to elevate your game, if you're ready to attack every drill like it's fourth-and-goal, if you refuse to quit when it hurts... then this could possibly be your year.
Everyone wants to win. Who cares! What are YOU going to do right now... to get better, be better, dominate and help your team win? That is the question for 2026!
Come work with PROformance and elevate your game and your team. Let's make 2026 legendary!
