Welcome to Big Warriors Linemen Blog!

This is a great place to network with us. Who are we? A group of Local Coaches from the Western US and Hawaii...as well as Japan, New Zealand, Samoa, and beyond. Our network is designed to take a small group of past players and coaches that know what it takes to make it to the next level in Football. From Friday Night Lights to Saturday game day... we are here to help you make that leap. Most players never make it...and some that do make it probably were not the best at their position. Like many things in life it is the "Who you know" factor. Together we will track some of the best up and coming linemen and athletes in the Western State and Pacific Islands. If you think you got the right stuff and want our help... by all means contact us. The help and advice is free.... so no promises. We can not turn a Hyundai into a Hummer but we will sure try and help...if your willing to work!

"My effort...is my mark.
I will give...so much effort,
That my mark...will not fade."

Training for Greatness: meet Bears All pro center Olin Kreutz and how he made it




This is a great article about Oahu native Olin Kreutz who anchors that super dominate Chicago Bears Offensive Line. Olin trains harder than almost anyone and has made himself into an All Pro Center through hard work and determination. Coach Derby had this to say about Olin and his training regimen which started with his modest family home gym:
"You don't go there to look at yourself in the mirror or you'll get your butt kicked," said Brian Derby, a former Hawaii coach who runs lineman clinics on the island and around the world. "If you want to be a pretty boy, put on your Speedo and go to the beach. Society is missing what George (Olin's Grandfather) instills. It's about discipline. You respect yourself because you're there to be the best you can. He teaches you to be a responsible, respectful person, but to not take [junk] from anyone and be one tough son of a [gun]."
