If you don’t get as excited about your freshman girl doing her first unassisted pull-up as you do your football player hitting 225 on bench then you’re doing it wrong. Every kid deserves to be celebrated no matter how small the victory.
Walked onto the field tonight with a 15 game losing streak. Walked off the field with our first win in almost 2 years. Its only one win but I’m on cloud 9 right now!
Told the team tonight so it’s official now. This was my last season as the head boys track coach at Macomb. I’ll be relocating to Springfield this fall and will be an assistant football and track coach at Rochester High School. Incredibly grateful for the last 9 years at Macomb.
2 weeks into taking over JH wrestling: cut practice time by half an hour, purposeful drilling time ⬆️ , games for conditioning instead of mindless nothingness ⬆️, smiles⬆️. Trying to bring my “feed the cats” mindset to wrestling!

Been talking about a throws club since moving to the area and now it’s starting to come to fruition! Happy to announce that I’ll be partnering with
@MTCthrowers
in this endeavor! Practices will start in March. Online registration coming soon! Sangamon Throws Club is happening!
Sending my girlfriend’s niece instructional snapchats on how to throw shot, discus, and javelin 30 minutes before the meet starts because she just found out when she got there what events she was doing and her coaches have never instructed her in any of them 😡😡😡😡😡😡
Just got off the phone with a newly hired HS strength coach. I hope he got value out of the things I said but on the flip side it was incredibly beneficial for me to be able to explain the how and why to the things I do. Blessed to be in a position to help others for a change!
Not quite the finish we were hoping for but Dylan took🥉with a throw of 148-5. Had two go 160+, one in warmups and one in comp about a foot past the sector line. All in all a great day to cap off an amazing JH career!
Taking a risk, betting on myself. 2022 will be my best year yet. Also- shoutout to

in the nation is pretty amazing! Dylan continues to raise his ceiling! 3 more weeks till state 💪🏼🚀
Top🚀 thrower tonight was freshman Dylan Durocher who went 13.22m (43’4.5”) Thanks
@TriadThrows
and
@chadburgess81
for running a smooth operation tonight!
Our underclassmen have produced so far this season: 2 6ft high jumpers and another who’s cleared 5’10, a 21-4 long jumper, a 41-9.5 triple jumper, a 12-6 pole vaulter, and now a pair of freshman shot putters who have gone 43-11 and 44-2 and a soph who’s gone 42-11.75🤯🚀
First outdoor meet in the books! Definitely a contender for the windiest meet I’ve ever attended. Left with a 🥇 in discus with a 124’8 for Baron. 15 foot PR from last year and we are only getting started! 🚀
My rest time between sets is entirely how long I spend skipping through songs on my phone till I find one I like. Could be 30 seconds could be 10 minutes. Life’s full of mysteries.
My latest interview with the one and only
@pntrack
! So much fun talking shop with him and going over the early days of his coaching career an so much more. Listen here!
My 🎙️ and I will be n the road soon to head to
@NHSSCA
Natcon! I’ll have a booth this weekend so stop by, grab a sticker and sign up to be a potential future guest! See you soon!
Freshman Dylan Durocher sets another PR with a throw of 44-2(13.46 meters) Closing in on 45 feet and beyond. Lots to clean up. Day by day, inch by inch we’re just gonna keep building! 🚀🚀🚀
Group size is such an easy way to manipulate rest between sets. Want them to rest longer between sets? Throw another person on the rack. Or vice versa for shorter rest.
