Short YouTube monologue by a former college quarterback advising high-school athletes on college football recruiting; main claim: don't post average weightlifting numbers on social media because coaches expect to see exceptional metrics and will dismiss average lifts. The creator offers recruiting resources (spreadsheet of coach emails) and positions himself as an experienced advisor.

If you're trying to get recruited to play college football, this is why you should not post your lifts. New here and don't know who I am. I'm trying to learn a former college quarterback, so be sure to follow for more content like this. Also, if you want to save yourself hundreds of hours and grab my free spreadsheet 6000 plus college coaches emails, all you have to do is click the link on the bio and you'll get it for free. So the number one reason why you shouldn't post your lifts is because they're probably not that amazing. I was talking to one family and we're talking about what to post on Twitter, what to post on other platforms and they asked about posting lifts such as squats, bench press cleans, and my first question was, okay, what, what are your numbers in those areas? And they weren't bad by any means. They're pretty average for his position in his year. But the thing is, you don't want to post average stuff on Twitter because it's just going to get passed up. Coaches are going to look at and be like thinking, expecting your best and to see average stuff makes them think that your best is average and they don't want average players on their team. So if your lifts are average, again, I'm not saying that's bad or you need to be ashamed of it, but you don't want to put that out to the world because there's no reason for them to see it. The only reason you should be posting your lifts is that.
