2x All State. 0 Stars. 0 Big time D1 offers. D2 player. 4 year starter. 4 year captain. 3x All American. NCAA All Time Leading Tackler. NFL Linebacker. QUIT LETTING OTHERS DETERMINE YOUR WORTH. IF YOU WANT IT BAD ENOUGH, GO WORK FOR IT!
Recruits, take it from someone who played D2 ball & got the opportunity to play in the NFL. Find the college that is going to give you YOUR BEST opportunity athletically & academically. Plenty of “D1” players go play at small schools. Sometimes the biggest school isn’t the best.
Our turf crews have the new indoor practice field greened out & are currently working on inlaying the logos. Base crew finishing drains and starting geo & big rock on the outdoor field. Mammoth crews are killing it! 💪🏼
Seeing all these NFL players arrested over the weekend makes me think of the time a NFL scout told me a team was concerned about me because I was “too good of a guy & my record was too clean.” ... True story.
Officially turned over the new synthetic turf baseball field to
@TrumanAthletics

@TrumanBaseball
has on their new field.

The

cancelling D3 & D2 championships but not D1 shows exactly what they think of small school players/programs. At the end of the day it isn’t about the players, it is about the money. It’s nothing new.

Most players don’t realize the daily schedule of lifting, meetings, class & practice is just the bare minimum. The GREAT players do more: extra lifting, film, recovery work, study, eat right, sleep enough, etc. Make time or make excuses.
Two types of athletes on signing day. 1.) The ones who think they’ve “made it” & coast for a semester because they “need a break before college starts.” 2.) The ones who know the real work is just getting started & immediately get after it because they aren’t satisfied.
Don’t ever think your too good for the school recruiting/offering you. What you did in high school is irrelevant in college (at any level). There are 50+ guys on that team already who did the same thing, if not more.
One of our Mammoth base crews spreading and laser grading the last lift of rock (small rock) as Mammoth trucks bring it into the new indoor football practice facility at K-State. Turf going down next week in the indoor & our base crew starts on the outdoor field.

Final coat of the track was sprayed yesterday, which means first day on the new synthetic turf field for the

Unbelievable first D1 win by

@MammothBuilt
civil and turf crews always doing great work!
Nothing more frustrating than seeing college coaches do majority of recruiting based on numbers (height, weight, speed). Plenty of great players out there that are slipping through the cracks with traits you can’t see from a piece of paper (heart, work ethic, discipline).
You either learn to love it, or you quit. I had 30+ guys in my recruiting class… only 4 of us made it through the whole way. Not many understand this grind. When you step into the real world (9-5) those “long days” at work, are what we called “off days” during camp.
October 1st will always be a special date to me. Blessed to have played the worlds greatest game for as long as I did. Miss it every day, but the memories live on.

In athletics or in life, 1.) Anyone and everyone is replaceable. 2.) You are never “too good” to do something. That mentality is for the weak and is cancerous to a team or company.

Thank you

for having me out to speak with the team this afternoon & for the awesome gear. Can’t wait to see this team make a run at the state championship this season.
#forthecity
Doesn’t matter the decal on the side of your helmet. If you can play, you can play. Quit thinking it’s D1 or nothing. Love seeing small school guys getting after it.

This is the time of year you really start to miss it. One day your strapping the pads on & the next your just washed up reminiscing. Beyond thankful for the journey, experiences, and everything the game has taught me. A lot of great memories I will cherish forever.
#football
I’ve been fortunate to work with some of the best coaches to get me ready for the highest level. Now I want to teach what I have learned to those central KS athletes that have dreams & a work ethic to be great.

@kstatesports
next week! Pre construction meeting/site visit today before we get things moving on the football stadium & former indoor practice facility!🤘🏼🦣
Always was a constant struggle for myself when I was still playing. Your worth isn’t found in what you do on that field. When it is all said & done it won’t even matter.
Played some great football. Got my college paid for. Met some lifetime friends with teammates and coaches. Got the opportunity to go play in the NFL.
I CHOSE DIVISION 2!
If you have the D1 or bust mentality. You aren’t the right fit for the next level.
#smallschoolguyscanball
Thankful to have been able to coach at my former high school
@JaguarsBss
these past 2 years. Sad to go, but I know the future is bright for this program. Can’t wait to see all the success they will have.
College Football: A bunch of guys from all walks of life coming together as a family to play the worlds greatest game. I truly believe if everyone got to experience what that is like, this world would be a much better place.
Wow, what an honor! So many amazing people that made this happen. To my wife, family, teammates, coaches, professors, friends, etc. thank you for all the love, support, and pushing me to be the best I could be on and off the field. Excited to get back to the wood in Oct.

While your tweeting about all the schools that have offered you, that future walk on who won’t get an offer is putting in the work NOW to take your spot next season. EARN IT.
The new softball outfield conversion for

2021 infield & wings —> 2023 full field synthetic turf.
Benedictine College has some of the best athletic facilities in NAIA period!
Miss putting those pads on for the Friday & Saturday nights. Nothing better than high school & college football. Don’t take it for granted, it goes by fast!
Future college athletes: What are you doing now to prepare for the next level? Season just got over? Tired and sore? GOOD, everyone is. Start out working your competition now. Weight room. Field work. Film.
#NeverSettle
For too long, I’ve focused too much on the things I don’t have, using that to drive me. That became exhaustive, negative & never ending. The truth is I have the worlds best wife, kids, family, job, friends, etc. & those will be the focus moving forward! Perspective is everything!
Football field is excavated and to grade. Track is demoed. New light fixtures are up. New field and track being staked and graded today. Our guys are making great progress on the new

as they kick off the 2020 season tomorrow night. Going to miss not be part of it with y’all! The best football memories I have are from Friday nights. Enjoy every minute!
I have heard this a couple times the past few weeks. Why do people think/act like professional athletes are just “lucky” that they made it to the highest level? Thousands of hours put in on top of the mandatory practices & workouts. IT DOESNT JUST HAPPEN.

The same people who went and bought all the toilet paper when this all started, are the same people who went online and bought all the gym equipment. These are also the same people who pay for a gym membership, but don’t even go to the gym. Stop buying it if you aren’t using it.
