This guy has been the anchor of our OL for the past 2 seasons. Can play ANY interior OL spot at a high level. He has a high football IQ, is coachable, competitive and hasn’t yet fully reached his potential. Any team that picks him up will not be disappointed!

It amazes me how as high school coaches, we get “eye rolled” about bunts and small ball because it’s no fun, let the kids play, get recruited. But when the best in the world want to win a game … they bunt. Maybe it matters??
DAWG!!! Love to see your hard work paying off. So damn proud of you, keep grinding!!!

Working hand placement and replacement depending on changing surface areas. Always finish with a bull rush to ensure their anchor. The best drills require no gadgets, no silly toys, just people.

Greg Maddux faced 20,421 batters over the course of his career. Only 310 (1.5%) saw a 3-0 count. Of those, over half of them (177) were intentional walks.

Good players have a BIG PROBLEM … That often keeps them from becoming great!!! …. They don’t like to look bad when they are training/practicing…. The result? They don’t challenge themselves. They stay in a comfort zone.
Growth comes from challenge and eventual mastery. Start stacking bricks. Conquer a skill and then build on it.. Start simple and predictable and move towards complex and unpredictable. This is where authentic confidence is found!
Yes, simple and predictable (easy) can be a part of your routine, especially as a warm up. But there needs to be an element of hard, or very hard in your offensive and defensive process.
Why? The game is very hard and one day you want to be able to make the hard look easy… so begin to DO HARD BETTER!

Got to watch Blake play in his first ever showcase today in the Rising Stars Showcase. Thank you @PrepBaseballKC for inviting Blake and for hosting such a great event for these young players! Blake is excited to see his metrics for the first time!
It’s crazy how some things come full circle. Today in class one if my students, HUGE @BeaverFootball fan, comes walking in wearing this jersey! It blew his mind that I actually coached @antgould_ here at Leavenworth High when he was a member of our wrestling team.

Anthony was a dawg back then and has continued to live out his dreams in the NFL. I’m privileged to say I got to witness his greatness first hand. Was great going down memory lane while showing my student wrestling pictures of his idol. Proud of you @antgould_, keep being GREAT!
