WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM THE COACHING STAFF

1. To love and respect you--We have an open door policy at the office and at our home. If you ever need anything from any coach on this staff, be assured that if we can do it, it will be done. Other than our families, you are the most important people in the world to us. 2. To believe in you as a football player--We can make you a better, more confident player by showing you that we do believe in your ability to help the team succeed. 3. That we will be the hardest working staff in the nation--We will spend more time preparing for a season and having contact with you than any other staff would even consider. We believe that the consistent, year-round contact with the players is paramount to success.4. To pursue excellence- - Our expectations for you as an individual and for our team will be tremendously high. You can anticipate that we will always be prepared to win a GLIAC championship, make the play-offs, and win a national championship.


5. To motivate you daily--We understand that on certain days you wont feel as highly motivated as others. However, on your down days be prepared for the coaching staff to challenge you to pursue your best, with no excuses. 6. To make all decisions predicated on what is best for the team--It is our responsibility to always put the teams interest before any individual. 7. To teach you--We will treat the practice field like a classroom. You will know more about your position than any other college player in the country. 8. To be a good role model--We will model all of the things we demand from you: self-discipline, motivation, loyalty, positive attitude, etc. We will not be hypocritical, preaching one thing to you and doing another. 9. To place a tremendous emphasis on your education-- We will demand that you put your academics first. 10. To help you mature and grow as a man--We will be interested in your total development as a young man, not just as a football player. We want you to develop all the positive attributes to be successful members of society. Ferris State Football

WHAT THE COACHING STAFF WILL EXPECT FROM YOU1. To get an education-- Your most important responsibility is to be successful academically and earn your Bachelors degree. If you fail to do this, then we ALL fail.2. To give your total effort--The individual that always pursues the best they are capable of will be the one who is destined for future success. 3. To give unselfish love toward your teammates and to respect them--Football is the greatest team game ever invented. 4. To be totally honest--Our integrity can never be compromised. Never lie to your coaches or your teammates. Regardless of how hard it is, never lie and never make excuses, we dont want to hear them and we will not accept them.5. To demonstrate humility--Having a humble attitude will draw people to you that you wouldnt necessarily expect. Learn to succeed without desiring recognition. Be a player that chooses team over self. Deflect your attention and achievements to your teammates.


6. To be prompt--Being on time is a very important attribute and will be demanded from this staff. Many people fail to succeed in life simply because they cannot get to where they need to be when they need to be there. 7. To be courteous--We want to develop young men that are kind to others and care about others. One of your goals should be to add value to other peoples lives every day.8. To be grateful--Always show your thanks to all the people who have helped you on your journey. Try to possess an attitude of gratitude.9. To develop a passion for life and football--People that do things passionately are more productive and gain more personal satisfaction from their successes. 10. To internalize our mission--The purpose is much larger than a game. We are ultimately measured by what value we add to other people's livesFerris State Football

Dear Coach Annese,

We would like to thank you so much for not only an outstanding season but also for being such a great coach, leader and mentor to the kids. You have created such a positive, caring environment for all of these young men. It is obvious that you want to win football games but it is also clear that it is so much more than that for you. It is evident on and off the field how much all of you care for one another. It is everything and more than we hoped for. We feel overwhelmingly blessed to have our son be a part of this team. He has made some lifelong friendships with many of the players with all different backgrounds and he has even expressed to us that this year a closeness and bond has been formed among everyone that he did not feel before. You and your coaching staff have created that. We have even been privileged enough to open up our home and lives to a few of the boys who are not able to go home. That has been a huge blessing to us!What impresses us the most about all of this is the fact that our son has not been able to put on a uniform yet or step on the field during a game and yet he feels just as much a part of the team as any of the starters. It keeps the drive and determination alive in him to keep making himself better. That says so much to us about the type of program you run. We are incredibly grateful and feel so blessed.We wish you a very Merry Christmas and may God bless you and your family.Ferris State Football

Hey Coach Annese,

This is ______________________

I just wanted to text you personally & thank you for all you've done in my life over the past couple of years. This past season has been very memorable for many reasons but especially for me.

I don't have any connection to anybody in my direct family and I was able to find comfort and a family in our football team.

I have never had a father figure to instill discipline, respect, and hard work into me but you came along & taught me life lessons & guidelines to be a better man.

When you asked me yesterday if I was doing better and I answered yes, that wasn't the truth.

Us losing hurt me tremendously. My routine changed. The family that I grown to love & accept as the only family I have was hurting & would never be all together again. We don't have much in Big Rapids but we have each other. That means a lot to me.

I know I speak for a lot of guys on this team when I say that beyond football this bond is something we look forward to in our lives because it's the closest thing to family a lot of us deal with on a day to day basis.

I know you're probably busy recruiting or getting ready for spring ball but I just wanted to shoot you this text. I love you and the coaching staff very much & thank you for allowing me to be part of your family this year.


II. You Need to Teach Life Lessons1. Success Handbook We take an hour a day during camp for the first three weeks for lessons-Identify Program Core Values-Strengthen players will and determination for Transformation. Give them examples of perseverance, faith, love, self discipline, etc.-Validate the work of the team2. Develop Interpersonal Skills3. Develop Leadership4. Goal Setting5. Team Standards Developed by PlayersFerris State Football

OUR MISSION STATEMENTThe coaching staff will direct and serve so that our players will be productive members of society and will understand that true success is measured by ones ability to serve humanity.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUThe coaching staff will develop each and every player on our team to their fullest potential, both on the field and off. It is our commitment to develop you into a man; a future leader, future husband, and future father! This developmental process is challenging, but you must not waiver in your opportunity to be a stronger person.

YOUR ACADEMIC MISSIONMore than ever before, your future depends on your level of education. You must make the decision to pursue excellence in your academic experience. Your future will be bright if you decide that you are going to work diligently to succeed in your pursuit of a Bachelors Degree.Ferris State Football

SELF IMPROVEMENT MISSIONAs a member of the Ferris State Football program, it is expected that you will establish goals of personal growth. You will establish goals in areas such as spiritual/ethical growth, academics/career, personal/family, caring/giving, and lastly football. We expect you to have a road map established to pursue your short term growth and long term dreams.

OUR CORE PRACTICESWe will possess a family, team first attitude. Each team member will develop a personal game plan of self improvement. We will all focus on being better individuals by demonstrating self-discipline, respect for others, and a sincere gratitude for all those who have helped you.

OUR CORE VALUESFaith, Order, Love, Discipline are our four pillars

FAITHORDERLOVEDISCIPLINEIN THE FOLDThe Right Kind of PersonBe a Productive Member of SocietyServe HumanityFerris State Football

BULLDOG CORE VALUESOur Team Motto: IN THE FOLD--- In the fold means to us: to place together and intertwine. We will be together and intertwined in our pursuit of all of our goals. The term FOLD is broken down into FAITH, ORDER, LOVE, AND DISCIPLINE1. FAITH The persuasion of the mind that greatness will occur. Strong and unshakeable belief that something good is going to happen.

To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.St. Thomas Aquinas

2. ORDER To regulate or keep under control. In this case, it is the ability to determine the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, positive and negative.The three dos will be a part of our decision making. The first do is Do what is right. The second do is Do your best. The last do is Do for others.


3. LOVE This quality is the most important in order to have a unified team that cares for one another, and will fight to the bitter end for one another.

While it is faith that makes all things possible, it is love that makes all things easy Luke 19:45-48

4. DISCIPLINE This is a critical area of focus in developing a consistent, championship football program both on and off the field.

The most vital type of discipline is self-discipline. If you do not possess the type of discipline to pursue the very best that is in you, then you will receive discipline externally. If discipline comes from the coaching staff, then it is something we are doing FOR you, not TO you.

Everyone suffers pain, either the pain of discipline, or the pain of regret


TRANSFORMATION

Cut at 1:07, Resume at 1:50, Cut at 2:25

Who is the young American serving in uniform today?-20 years of age, a high school graduate, a volunteer, he is brighter, better educated, better trained, led and equipped than any soldier of any country in history!

2. He can take a life or save one because he has been so remarkably trained! What would it take for you to be so remarkably trained?

3. How did this transformation occur where an average young man in your high school has a transformation into a great soldier in the most powerful military in the world? What lesson can you take from this example?

4. That is what we do! Ferris State is blessed to be represented by the best!


DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP

You can no longer assume that your young men have any knowledge of leadership. You need to coach them on every aspect of the concept of leadership. You must empower them to be leaders by fueling them with information on the how to do it and then create the circumstances and authority for leadership to be carried out.

Coaching Players to be LeadersLeadership is Influence If you have the power to influence then it can be used for good or for bad!

Developing good leadership begins with a trust that is built between the coach and the leader.

Great leaders gain personal value from impacting others in a positive way.

True leadership is exposed when things are NOT going well.

A player coached team is better than a coach coached team.


MILITARY RANKSMilitary ranksare a system ofhierarchical relationships inthe armed forces. Usually, uniforms denote the bearer's rank by particular insignia affixed to the uniforms. Ranking systems have been known for most of military history to be advantageous for military operations. The purpose of a military rank structure is mainly that of providing accurate, timely communication which represents information on which command decisions are based. The key application is that of decisions that effectively manage unit resources. While communication flow toward the commander is a priority, information that is useful or contingent in nature is communicated to lower staffs and units. In a military organization, command and control is the exercise ofauthorityand direction by a properly designatedcommanding officerover assigned and attachedforcesin the accomplishment of themission. Command and control functions are performed through an arrangement of personnel, equipment, communications, facilities, and procedures employed by a commander in planning, directing, coordinating, and controlling forces andoperationsin the accomplishment of the mission.


Army Specialist Specialists have basic management duties and may command soldiers of lower rank, although most leadership duties at this pay grade are the responsibility ofCorporals. Specialist is the most common rank advancement available to a Private First Class, and becomes available after two years of service and upon completion of a leadership and officer candidate training course. Recruits who enlist in the Army with a four-year Bachelor's Degree, or desired civilian skills and experiences, may be entitled to enter the Army as a Specialist.Bulldog SpecialistEveryone has a special job to do in order for this team to achieve the goals we have established. Specialists have basic fundamental responsibilities in our ranking system. The Bulldog Specialist must focus on what he needs to do to help the team. The Bulldog Specialist must internalize his role within our organization and concentrate on accomplishing that role with no selfish thoughts of personal achievement. We want the Bulldog Specialist to strive to be the best he can be, but ultimately the goal is to be compliant and do the job that is asked of you to help the team succeed.(All true freshmen will begin as a Specialist and all others who have not exhibited the traits that are required for advancement)


Army CorporalCorporal is equivalent in pay grade to a Specialist, although a Corporal has greater leadership and management responsibilities. Corporals may be placed in command of a small contingent of soldiers, which contains four soldiers at most, and are responsible for the training and performance of their soldiers. A Corporal is most often promoted fromSpecialist although promotion from lower pay grades may occur with sufficient display of leadership and experience.Bulldog CorporalTo advance beyond a Specialist rank you need to demonstrate the same qualities that the Army Corporal exhibits as described above. You need to take responsibility for yourself being a major contributor to the team goals, but you also need to demonstrate leadership and responsibility to help a few members of your team focus on the things they need to do to be successful. The Bulldog Corporal shows initiative, responsibility, and leadership. He can motivate and move his teammates to higher levels of achievement both in the classroom and on the field.(Bulldog Corporals have only been associated with the program for one or two years, but demonstrate the above characteristics)Ferris State Football

Army SergeantA Sergeant is directly above Corporal. Sergeants command units of soldiers ranging in size from a 4-5 soldiers, to a squad, and have a great deal of influence on the everyday lives and activities of their men. Bulldog SergeantThis person has earned the respect of his teammates and the coaching staff. He is a person that meets the expectations in the classroom, on the field, and in the community. The Bulldog Sergeant leads by example. He has high expectations for himself and motivates his teammates through his hard work in every aspect of college life. The Bulldog Sergeant has also stood the test of time as he has participated as a Bulldog going on his third year or more.(Bulldog Sergeants have been associated with the program going on their third year and have represented the program in a positive way)Ferris State Football

Army Sergeant MajorSergeant Major is the highest enlisted rank in the Army. A Sergeant Major assists Officers in a battalion-sized force of 300 to 1,000 soldiers, and leads soldiers and junior officers placed directly under his command. Bulldog Sergeant MajorOur Sergeant Major is the leader of his battalion (position group). This person has the credibility within the position group, his teammates, and with the coaching staff to be perceived as a great leader. This is the guy who is the coach on the field. If the position coach wasnt there, this is the person who could coach the group!(Bulldog Sergeant Majors have typically been with the program for a long time, but there is no time prerequisite for this ranking. The best guy for the job earns this title)Ferris State Football

Army CaptainA Captain is a commissioned officer at company level, and will generally serve as a Company Commander in control of 62 to 190 soldiers. As a Company Commander, Captains will be placed in charge of the tactical and everyday operations of their troops, assisted by several junior commissioned officers and one or more senior non-commissioned officers. Captains may also have teaching roles at combat schools or special training sessions as well as serve as staff officers at battalion level command posts.Bulldog CaptainThe Bulldog Captain has been the torch bearer for all that is good about Bulldog Football. He is the face of our program; he is responsible, compliant, has an impeccable work-ethic, has never been in trouble, gives to others, serves the community, takes his academics very seriously, and he internalizes the goals of the team and program. He may or may not be an inspirational and dynamic personality. But this person is admired by all because of the greatness he displays everyday everyway! If he makes a goal, IT IS IN STONE.(Bulldog Captains have to be one of the top four respected guys on the team. They have to have an unbelievable track record from the moment they came to Ferris State up to today!)Ferris State Football

What is our target?GOAL SETTINGFerris State Football

Focus on the process which will allow you to achieve your goals as an individual and us as a team. Keep your eye on the target and let that drive your habits, motives, and actions.


J.J. Watt has set his goals in Stone and has been committed to being the best football player he can be.

1. Why do you think that the Ten Commandments were inscribed in stone tablets?

2. What permanent goals have you put into the forefront of your life?

3. What do you have to give up in order to achieve significant success on and off the field to achieve your goals?
