It’s definitely that time of year! If you’re entering the transfer portal or considering it, shoot me a message & let’s talk! I spent 18 years as a college coach & @EASRecruiting is batting 1.000 on helping transfers. It can be a crazy & scary process, no reason to go through it alone!

Hey Transfer Athletes- as an old school reservist of the game.. I am not “a fan” of the Portal but it is here for a reason and my own kid used it once upon a time.

“With that being Said”, we are 52-52 over the last 3 off seasons with transfers and our kids are already getting offers.

I aspire to have the trust and confidence of a college student crossing the street. Head down, on the phone, not looking up once at the oncoming traffic.

[Brian Miles, CMPC @BrianCmiles]

Early mornings. Long days. Fatigue. Short paitence. Split squads. Constant conversations. Constant decisions. Everyone wanting answers. Everyone wanting certainty. Spring Training is controlled Chaos.

And somewhere in the middle of it, I hear Ken’s voice: “Be where your feet are.” “Have a good, shitty day.” “It begins before it begins.” "Are you breathin, man?"

We use those lines with players all the time. But this stretch of the year reminds me if we don’t slow down enough to practice what we preach, we lose credibility with ourselves.

It’s harder to do it when you're underslept and overscheduled. Ken’s wisdom hits different this time of year because it forces the mirror back on us. The time is now. The place is here. Not just for the players. For us too.
