WATCH: 5 years ago, Nash Lindberg was fighting just to walk and live a normal life.
Last week, he reached a major milestone — playing at state golf with his @GBHS_Athletics team, and showing the power of his belief.
“He has a lot of ability — not disabilities.”

Andale/Garden Plain (4A, 5-1) sophomore Paige Stanhope made a name for herself in her freshman season as she was a big part of their 4A state runner up finish and has already started off stronger in her sophomore season. The 3B/1B is batting .625 on the year with a .812 OBP through the first 6 games of the season. She has a triple and two homers on the year with 9 RBI’s. Stanhope is also perfect in the field with a 1.000 fielding percentage on the year. She said, “We have almost everyone returning from last year’s state runner-up team, and we are excited to continue where we left off. We have strong senior leadership and a great coaching staff. Our goal is to keep getting better each and every day. I am excited to see what we are capable of with a great group of girls!” Stanhope is also a two year varsity basketball player for the Andale Indians that have made back to back state appearances. #sportsinkansas

My first year as a head coach. 1-9.
My third year as a head coach. 9-1.
It started with sophomores tired of losing. Commitment to the weight-room. Setting clear targets on little things like keeping the locker-room clean, 1st downs, good grades, simplifying the playbook.
Winning culture followed.
EVERY TEACHER IS A PART OF MTSS
Just because you may not provide "specialized services" doesn't mean you aren't part of the process.
EVERY one of us brings the most effective piece to the process: Tier 1
If Tier 1 isn't what it should be, the other Tiers really won't do much.
Andale product Noah Bruce was an all state TE in HS and never lost a HS football game. Bruce now showcasing his ability as a TE/H-Back. Great blocker that finishes plays. Also great hands. Can be utilized as a Hybrid type player in multiple spots: split out or lead blocker.
Coaching is Hard.
The skillset is incredibly dynamic, and yet, our kids need great coaches.

For Tier 1 to be what it should be, we must not lower the bar.
Our job in Tier 1 is to set the bar, make learners aware of the bar & what it takes to reach it, & then lift ALL learners to the bar.
Lowering anything amounts to nothing.
We raise the learners up instead.
