This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen.


I really like the philosophy of Coach Smith’s multiple defenses, summarized by Jagacki nicely. I always thought we should have a defensive “playbook” just as an offense does, where we dictate what our opponent has to do rather than us always react to them. We were proactive…

Incredible insight here: relevant to all levels of college beyond only NCAA D1. Players/parents: Your coaches may be some of the best educators you’ll ever have.

Great dude who will be a great coach !


Interesting, brief conversation from two great players about the benefit of full practices during the season:

Big time !

Common theme among the 20 plus kids I've talked to in the portal.... They want to be coached hard. They want to be held accountable. They want coaches who are going to care about them, believe in them, and have a close relationship with them off the field.


Congrats Levi, and good job in HUPR 201 this semester !

Congratulations to @LewisMTandF Levi Graham, who finished in second place at the @NCAADII Outdoor Championships in the Men's Hammer Throw while also recording a personal best! #FlyAsOne
