I am excited to announce that I am continuing my academic and athletic careers at Towson University following my graduation from Hampden-Sydney in May. I am blessed to have had four years at HSC and am thankful for everyone who was part of my journey!
Grateful for this opportunity to play for @Towson_FB next season and can’t wait to get to work! #GohTigers

A great reminder from IMLCA founder Richie Meade that being a coach isn’t really so much about strategy as much as it is about energy, influence, and the long-term impact you leave on your players.
The lessons that last a lifetime often come from the coaches who invested more than what was required: the ones who stayed after practice, listened, and truly cared for their players.
Great coaches don’t just teach the game. They care about and invest in the people playing it. #CoachesHelpingCoaches #IMLCAcoaches

"Sean McDermott being fired baffles me..
He's one of the best coaches in the league and he's a great leader of men" ~ @BruceArians #PMSLive
Bad move by the #Bills! If Josh makes a few throws and the refs don’t call that catch an interception they win then he doesn’t get fired. Bad decision based on things beyond a coach’s control. Sean McDermott is a winner who built a perennial winner. If I’m Cleveland or Miami I go and hire Sean today.
Thank you @HSC__FOOTBALL for an incredible run! I’m grateful for all of my teammates and coaches that were apart of my journey!
I have decided to enter the transfer portal with one year of eligibility remaining. Film Below ⬇️

Overcoming adversity missed his JR yr due to ACL injury and worked his tail off to get back. Appreciate you letting me coach you hard and your leadership to the young guys!!! #FTD
Good stuff!
I like “what’s your plan after high school?”

Wise words
“My name’s Frank. I’m 64, a retired electrician.
Forty-two years I spent running wires through houses, fixing breakers, making sure people had light in their kitchens and heat in their winters. Never once did anyone ask me where I went to college. Mostly, they just wanted to know if I could get the power back on before their ice cream melted.
Last May, I was at my granddaughter Emily’s school career day. You know the drill — doctors, lawyers, a software guy in a slick suit talking about “scaling startups.” I was the only one there with a tool belt and work boots.
When it was my turn, I told the kids, “I don’t have a degree. I’ve never sat in a lecture hall. But I’ve wired schools, hospitals, and your principal’s house. And when the hospital generator failed during a snowstorm in ’98, I was the one in the basement with a flashlight, keeping the lights on for newborn babies upstairs.”
The kids leaned forward. They had questions — real ones. “How do you fix stuff in the dark?” “Do you make a lot of money?” “Do you ever get zapped?” (Yes, once, and it’ll curl your hair.)
When the bell rang, one boy hung back. Small kid, freckles, hoodie too big for him. He mumbled, “My uncle’s a plumber. People laugh at him ’cause he didn’t finish high school. But… he’s the only one in the family who can fix anything.”
I looked that boy in the eye and said, “Kid, your uncle’s a hero. When your toilet overflows at midnight, Harvard ain’t sending anyone. A plumber is.”
Here’s the thing nobody told me when I was young — the world doesn’t run without tradespeople. You can have all the engineers you want, but if nobody builds the house, wires the power, or lays the pipes, those blueprints just sit in a drawer.
We’ve made it sound like trades are what you do if you can’t go to college, instead of a path you choose because you like working with your hands, solving problems, and seeing your work stand solid for decades.
Four years after high school, some kids walk away with diplomas. Others walk away with zero debt, a union card, and a skill they can take anywhere in the world. And guess what? When your furnace dies in January, it’s not the diploma that saves you.
A few weeks ago, that same freckled kid’s mom stopped me at the grocery store. She said, “You probably don’t remember, but you told my son trades are important. He’s shadowing his uncle this summer. First time I’ve seen him excited about anything in years.”
That’s the part we forget — for some kids, knowing their path is respected changes everything. It’s not about “just” fixing wires or pipes. It’s about pride. Purpose. The kind that sticks with you long after the job’s done.
So next time you meet a teenager, don’t just ask, “Where are you going to college?” Ask, “What’s your plan?” And if they say, “I’m learning to weld,” or “I’m starting an apprenticeship,” smile big and say, “That’s fantastic. We’re going to need you.”
Because we will. More than ever. And when the lights go out, you’ll be glad they showed up.”
Grateful for all the coaches who I have learned from and sat beside! Grateful is an understatement and to all the players who keep showing up! #NationalCoachesDay @CoachMikeLondon @mlycan12 @JenFinnDuffy @WMTribeFootball @WMTribeWSOC @WMTribeMSoccer

Tomorrow, thousands of young women will report for the official start of their college soccer preseason, many for the first time. Here are my top pieces of advise for Freshmen:
Make a big effort to get to know the upperclassmen. They are not as intimidating as it seems. Some will become your best friends, and they’re the only ones who can relate to what you are going through
Try to minimize your stress over fitness tests. If you followed packet and put in the work over summer, you will pass. The mental piece can work against you. If you didn’t come in fit, it’s too late, and you will learn that lesson the hard way and put in more effort next summer.
Your coaches are human, and will make mistakes. Their chief objective is to win games and will play the players they feel will give them the best chance. Playing time decisions are not personal.
You will have plenty of days you feel you aren’t good enough, not smart enough, don’t belong…..that is part of the rollercoaster of freshmen year, and those will the mental fortitude to cope and persevere end up being the most successful.
Most of you have never shared a bedroom with anyone in your life, much less having it be your entire living space. Talk to your roommate on day 1 about habits, cleanliness. Set rules for yourselves especially visitors. Communicate constantly, and know you will have to make concessions.
Preseason is NOT the time to be worried about dieting to any degree! You may be burning 4-5k calories a day and fueling is critical to performing. Caloric intake must be increased during this time. Be mindful of how you are fueling and use 80/20 rule.
Hydration and electrolytes are also an absolute MUST. Supplement water with hydration packets. The best electrolyte of all? SALT, especially Celtic Salt which we keep in Locker room.
The best way you can contribute to your team and be the best teammate is finding your role. It takes an entire team to win, but only 11 can be on the field. Instead of being negative about not playing, find your way to contribute to team. Some of our best leaders have been players who weren’t starters. There are so many ways to contribute to the team’s success
It will be hard in the fall which is a lot of soccer, but ultimately immerse yourself in the college experience! There are so many people to meet, and things to do. Make an impact on your campus! Soccer will play a huge part of your journey but it’s not the whole journey, so prioritize your non-soccer existence.
GO MAKE IT THE BEST FOUR YEARS OF YOUR LIFE. It’s all about PERSPECTIVE and controlling what you can. YOU DON’T HAVE TO, YOU GET TO!
