@BakerBarbell Dead on. Our varsity football coach is also the varsity baseball coach and strength and conditioning coach. Uses chatgpt for his workout plans and any other strength coach who offers assistance gets shut out and that they dont know what they are talking about.
Recruiting is 90% marketing, 10% talent.
The most talented kid doesn't always get the scholarship.
The kid who markets themselves best does.
If coaches don't know you exist, your talent is irrelevant.
@bowling23@booman22@BBGreatMoments Totally agree. I never mind much when they argue a call or situation. When it becomes personal is when they cross the line and forget the reason that we are all there.
@bowling23@booman22@BBGreatMoments I've been in the umpires position at the HS level and the amount of restraint it takes to be verbally abused and not retaliate is underestimated.
Jesse Bobbit could've mailed this in, half-assed the prep and cried a bunch of crocodile tears about leaving.
Instead, he got the team ready to play, was transparent about his future, and coached WSU to a win.
Great guy and a ton of respect for how he handled this.
