Sitting down with @coachmike__ was a great experience. We got to learn so much about not only his grassroots story, but his coaching grind. Between the time we sat down with him and now, Mike has already used his hard work to elevate to an assistant coaching role at @osumbb. Make sure you follow @grassrootsshow on IG , grassrootsshow_ on Twitter and subscribe to the YouTube. Please go to the link in the bio to see the whole interview.
