@ColinCowherd
spend a week with us! Travel the way we travel. Sit w/ our student athletes & help work through school & life the way we do with 1/10th of D1 resources before you speak about our character & cultures! Our kids LEARN & EARN exponentially!

The most important lesson I learned from Coach Sutton,
Make sure you let your student-athletes know that you love them!
I will never forget walking away from Coach at Patsy's funeral, we hugged, & as
@derekjoiner
& I walked away, he called our names & said "I love you guys!"

Took time today to sit and reflect on the virtues of life with friends. Although this place symbolizes a tragic event, everytime I stop my heart is full of love, compassion, empathy and drive to be the best person possible! The impact these ten made on my life is indescribable!

The day after the season ends is the worst! I could not be more proud of my five sophomores. These five have made me and my staff look like absolutely geniuses! They will be nearly impossible to replace! Thank you!

Last summer my parents, brother and I were sitting around the table and they asked what I wanted to accomplish with the upcoming season. I told them we are going to graduate every kid, move them on to four year schools and I am going to win them a ring with our last name!

The job of a manger is a difficult one. Selflessly working countless hours behind the scenes, constantly trying to make sure everything runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible. While never really getting the credit you deserve!
