"In football and life, every player and person must possess 3 key abilities in order to succeed. These abilities are not what you think. It is not strength, speed nor quickness.  Many have possessed those abilities and have failed. It is because they did not understand the abilities I am talking about.

 

The first ability is AVAILABILITY. If you can not make it to practice everyday or show late to the game or a meeting, you are no good to me. The second ability is RESPONSIBILITY.  Know your job!!!  Study your craft, game plan and execute it.  If you don't know your plays or where to line up, you are no good to me. The third ability is ACCOUNTABILITY. We are all human and will make mistakes. I can except mistakes. However, own up to your mistakes. Learn from your mistakes. Never repeat your mistakes.  You don't need to be the best athlete to possess these abilities. We all can acquire them. And with these, we all can succeed!!!

DEFENSE IS AN ATTITUDE                                                                                                                                                                        September 23, 2015

Great defenses consist of excitement, high intensity, and being relentless. We never retreat and we always attack. We never pay for the same real estate twice. The football belongs to us and it is our job to get it from the opponent. Wherever the football goes, all 11 of us go. We do not demand fear and respect, we cause fear and respect.

 

Our Motto is: NO DEFEAT, NO RETREAT, LETS EAT. We are hungry. We are the Vikings!

 

Vikings Defensive Coordinator, Darin Epps
