Thank You Nashville 🤟
Truly a special place filled with memories and relationships that my family and I are forever grateful for.
To all the young men and parents who have trusted me to help, thank you! You’ve all given me great purpose and passion as a coach.
Matt Overton Long Snapping will continue in Indianapolis. Mission in tact, develop, refine and mentor the next generation of long snappers! Stay tuned for new details.
STAY READY🤟
“A lot of people don’t enjoy the process, but they love the product of the process.”
Full transparency, I was sitting at @HighlandsAL a few Sundays ago and @Blakelindsey gave an unbelievable message. He said this during his sermon, and I felt like more people needed to hear it.
When I was younger, I wasn’t a fan of the process. I just wanted the results. But as I got older, matured, and became more focused on being the best I could be, I realized something:
When you have a consistent process in everything you do, you give yourself the best chance to be successful.
The process isn’t always fun. It’s repetitive. It’s hard. It’s often unnoticed. But if you can learn to love the work that happens before the results, the results usually take care of themselves.

Happy Father’s Day to all the K/P/LS dads whose cars rack up more miles than an aspiring race car driver, constantly driving to camps, airport runs, and school visits. We see you, and Thank You for everything that you do!!

Jay Sawvel didn't sugarcoat his feelings about the entire operation of his punt/ kick teams last fall, starting with the long snapper. Replacing that position with experience was a priority in the offseason.
This is who the staff landed.

As my youngest son’s sophomore season ended, one of the big-name travel ball orgs dropped their new rankings
I logged in to check his profile
In his class they had him as the 8th-best catcher in the country
No. 2 in Florida
Not gonna lie
I was a proud dad
The following summer, we chose a different route
No chasing invite-only events, no living on planes
He spent the summer training
Getting stronger
Cleaning up his swing
Catching better arms
He played in just three tournaments, none of them affiliated with that ranking organization
He played the best baseball of his life and earned a scholarship to a top‑25 D1 program
That fall, out of curiosity, I checked his profile again
Ranked No. 221
Did he really get that much worse?
If he did, I never saw it
Maybe 213 guys just “got better”
Or maybe the formula changed
He went on to have a great college career
Conference and regional champ
MVP of the Gainesville Regional
His team came a couple of plays short of Omaha
Then he got a couple of years in pro ball for good measure
The ranking never predicted any of that
The game still rewards work, toughness, and development more than any list ever will
Rankings are a great marketing tool
Not a great predictor of future success
Tom Izzo shares an uncomfortable truth about earning your spot.
"You play real good, you start. You don't play as good, you work your way back in."
"That's the American way - except America has gotten soft."
You don't get what you want in life - you get what you earn.
It starts with showing up and earning it every single day.
No shortcuts...Just hard work.
