This 15 year old kid inspires me every single day to be a be better version of my 26 year old self. Just because we're older doesn't mean we're stronger.
11 years cancer free.

@Coach_BJustice @ColdWeatherBats Hey that's my linebacker! @CalPlarske can hit in the fall too!

@cwig8 @acaseofthegolf1 @B_Nostrant1 @Gilbert_Hoops @BankHoops @HankampScott Eric Puls who graduated in 2007 was a bench mob guy for Beilein for a few years at Michigan and was on scholarship towards the end of his career. He was a 6'8" wing who could shoot pretty well from the outside.

@acaseofthegolf1 @B_Nostrant1 @Gilbert_Hoops @BankHoops @HankampScott I always follow my wildcats and I was able to see them play once this year. He definitely did not play like a freshman.

@WingTCoachRyan @tpera75 @CoachCDSmith @CoachKrauseMHS Absolutely! Another line from the great Irv Sigler is "One step in the wrong direction puts you 2 steps from where you should be!"

@WingTCoachRyan @tpera75 @CoachCDSmith @CoachKrauseMHS The only way you can have a perfect second step is if you had a perfect first step.

@WingTCoachRyan Not all about what you do but how you do it and who you do it with!

@Coach_Pfiester Fortunately the Chippewas are playing tonight! 🔥☝🏼

19 years cancer free and blessed beyond words.

[Tommy Atkinson @_TommyAtkinson]

@grossk4 @BShirley32 I believe the number was 139. Our advanced metrics had 140 as the highest we could go to ensure you were still able to throw 74 off 2 days rest.

@CalPlarske @cjpenn33 @DennisSimpson_ Stud!!

@_CoachBarfield You don't coach a sport, a position or a scheme. You coach people. Make relationships, learn as much as possible and be true to yourself not some caricature of every coach you've ever had before.
Oh, and if coaching football learn both sides of the ball and special teams!

After 16 years and hundreds of games it was pretty awesome coaching my own kid for the first time.

A great trip with @casas_jimmy coaching school leaders today. Heading back to Minnesota refreshed, focused, and ready for the last month of school. #culturize #leadershipcoaching #schoolleaders #principalinbalance

@cpstalions @fbcoachsimpson I think it's a term that has evolved over time and has gone from the action of countering frontside backfield action to a scheme which is ubiquitous with the guard kick and T/H/Y wrap. Still usually requires a strong threat, flow or read as blocking develops slower than power.

@CMUBaseball He had a pretty good time the last time he played there too.

[Tommy Atkinson @_TommyAtkinson]

@CoachChapin Thanks for having us!! Fortunate to witness a lot of great coaching and teaching this week!

[Tommy Atkinson @_TommyAtkinson]

@jake_riedel Cheers were always good and I'm pretty sure they have a wing night.

[Tommy Atkinson @_TommyAtkinson]

@lorida24 Appreciate you Lo!

18 years ago today, I became a cancer survivor. Today I'm still a survivor, but more importantly I'm a father, husband, teacher, coach, a friend to many and much more. I didn't know who I would grow into 18 years ago, but I wouldn't trade this journey for anything.
