This episode features an interview with coaches Eric Harris and Terrence Banks from the Thomas Jefferson High School Vikings football team in Virginia. The coaches discuss the team's offseason program, which has included weightlifting and has attracted the attention of numerous college teams. The coaches address some of the drama in the area from previous seasons and how social media has affected coaching and sports in recent years. Ultimately, Coach Harris and Banks are all about the kids and developing them into stand-up young men, and they aren't going to let any amount of drama get in the way of that overarching goal. #ballinva
