POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

2026 makes it 16 years in this career and at one place. Both are oddities in our field.

Everyday I am humbled and honored by the people I get to surround myself with. I am truly thankful for all the respect that has been given to me by my athletes. I hope they are as proud of their accomplishments as I am amazed by them. I am thankful for the place God has placed me. I am astonished that He closes doors just as He opens new ones.

This past spring was truly unbelievable. 4 season championships and 3 tourney bids. To be allowed to just be along for the ride is an honor.

None of this would be possible without the athletes, coaches, and my mentors allowing me to be me. Not too shabby for an overly competitive and high standards guy.

Sometimes I forget how lucky I am. Rubbing shoulders with All-Confrence, All-Americans, and Players of the Year will never get old. Neither will collecting rings.

So to everyone who has been apart of my story over the last 16 years: THANK YOU!

Building it different… Finding my own path and walking it…. Yesterday’s success is today’s standard.

History was made. I remain thankful
4 Championship in a single season. I stay humble

To every Senior that changed and set the culture I will remain forever thankful that you allowed me to be called ‘Coach’. If it wasn’t for your leadership and commitment to constantly raise the standard and hold everyone accountable this would not have occurred. Thank you. Thank all of you!!!

I have learned much from you all. I learned that having high standards and being a high achiever is something to be admired and is welcomed in a winning championship environment. I learned that team identity is ever changing until it’s found. There are no cookie cutter personalities that must be present. I learned that multiple personalities are required as long as the underlying team thought is clear; We Win No Matter What, No Questions.

Self reflection takes time and I have identified my toxic trait…. This unrepeatable 4 Championships has now become my standard. I will always strive to win. The best experience any athlete will ever have is graduation and next is holding the trophy. I don’t have much say in the first, but I will always strive to give you all the second. My flaw, yes I have one, is goals and dreams become my standard. Success and winning will remain my standard. You all have had a big part in this and it wouldn’t be right to your legacy if I cashed out, took my ball, and went home to never win again.

So thank you! Thank you so much!
5/6 leaves me room to raise the bar; be ready. Challenge accepted.

Thank you @spidermlax! Day 1 was never made to feel like anything less than family. That is a testament to the character this family shows day in and day out.

Humbled to be able to experience the elite level of excellence this team continues to rise up too.

Honored just to stand in their presence. To watch these guys just go to work everyday.

Excited to see where this is going to go in the next couple of years. Always hungry for more, never satisfied with yesterday!

Fall is still one of my favorite seasons, but now for a different reason.

Slowly making this basketball(?) school a lacrosse school

It’s that time of year again…….

Build the system first. Know the why to what you are doing. If you’re going to talk about ESD then development the energy system that matches the sport. Don’t guess on times and random yardage cuz it makes them tougher. Smart things planned really well can be some of the toughest activities to endure.

Tired of the more is better cuz more is better talk and approach to conditioning. We have the ability to know not guess.

Increase the gas tank capacity, improve fuel utilization, upgrade the fuel to a better grade…..

Or just BOOM the whole thing and survival dictates the best will last and the rest will fall… Good Luck Buddy

Fun game; pick which is what in the slides. Practice or conditioning. by @alphacoach1

Head North until you literally reach Alaska.
Take it all in. Beware of the bears. Respect nature. Live on a boat.

So took a little trip up the coast.

Saw a needle, visited the Gates’s place, had a cup of Joe, and went down to the docks.

Big ass lobster.

Renaissance Man: create solutions when walls create obstacles.

Thank you @spiderwlax. You have given me 15 years of unreal experience, friendships, and love. You took me half way around the world and I will give you the A10 back.

I’m going to leave this here for everyone.

My motivation is simple. Win; at everything. Being a dad, husband, friend, co-worker, support staff, and coach. I am the most competitive person many of you may ever meet.

I’m not quite sure what I want my legacy to be but I’m sure it’s to leave a mark; on my wife, kids, friends, coworkers, athletes, and coaches.
My ultimate paycheck is to have someone say this about me. I can’t play anymore. I will make an impact

My drive is to win.
UR will win.
Be ready.

If the technology is there. If the resources are given. Then it’s your job to figure it out and use what you have. This profession is what you make of it. Don’t be a weight room monitor. Don’t stand in the ‘grind’ and say you out work people. Expand your expertise, grow your knowledge, make yourself better, and above all do it for a purpose.

If you aren’t doing it then what are you doing???

This is a sample from my weekend. Just plotting max effort speeds with positive plays. Always know the why behind your programming and prepare the athlete for what they actually do. Not for the hard stuff just to be that coach that does hard stuff. by @alphacoach1
