4 years of showing up everyday to practice.
4 years of making his team better.
Teams that win big games win those games because of guys like this.
Everyone can’t be the leading scorer but everyone that is fortunate enough to be on a team can be a great teammate.

Treating anything but D1 as a fall back option is a sign of ignorance, arrogance & entitlement.
D2,D3,JUCO & NAIA are loaded with great Coaches, environments and talent.
An offer means you’re wanted & they believe you can play.
Be grateful & respectful.

Dear Dad,
It’s not your job to get a 10 year old in shape. It’s your job to make them fall in love with ⚾️ 🏀 🏈.
Don’t ruin their experience by conditioning at the end of practice just because you did it in your practice 20 years ago.

HS Coaches, we have to do a better job strengthening our relationship with D2 Coaches.

I despise watching players that think they are too good or too cool to play hard.

If you don’t catch and shoot, please don’t catch, rationalize and then shoot.
Shooting is about Rhythm & Reason, not a Reaction
Rhythm is the work you’ve put in to be a shot maker.
Reason is why you’re open. Either your offense gets you open or their defense wants you open.
