I'm already getting 100 text and calls
Coach I can't find the trainers
Coach I can't find the Financial aid office
Coach I locked myself out of my room!!!
Lol
I look at my phone and leave them on read ๐๐๐๐
Time to grow up you not in high school no more figure it out!
I come to realize in coaching track they only judge you by did you win a championship or not which is crazy to me!
The coaches that actually build and develop athletes get over looked because they did not win a championship
Well I keep developing yall can have the super teams!
I never missed a track practice in college I would feel guilty if I did.
I was a dog I wanted to beat everyone.
I wanted to be the greatest of all time so missing a practice or being late was a no go for me!!
Athletes today don't even care about missing practice its crazy!!!
Bingo!!!
My athletes Like to fight me on getting out hard ๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ
Athletes: I'm saving my energy for the end!!!
Me: No you are not lol!!!! ๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ
โYou win races, you set PRs, normally, by running faster, using your speed early in the first 100 to 200 meters.โ

I'm humbled and like to thank God to be named Men's coach of the year in the Central region this is one of the top awards in the college track
I didn't do this on my own I had a lot of help from my right-hand man Jafet Molinares we built a championship program thank you
200 meter Olympic finals
Andre De Grasse 1st
Kenny Bednarek 2nd
Both Athletes went Juco 1st ๐ค๐ค
Yet most people try to look at juco as a failure. Wake up! It's a great way to start college!
For all the coaches trying to get into college coaching! Don't give up!!
I filled out over 100 applications in 3 years D1/D2/Juco/NAIA none of them got back to me!!๐ค
You just need one school/AD to see how great you are then the rest is history!!

Yall so fast to throw away a athletes time because of Wind that's lame to me lol
Everyone in the race had the same wind!
Let the athlete have they moment they train 20hrs a week for a few seconds chill and let them be happy. They can't control the weather.
I love high school coaches that try really hard to get their kids into college. No matter the level.I have the utmost respect for you.And please don't load the athletes up on relays let them run open events if you want them to get looks. College coaches Do not care about splits!

Not going to lie it has not hit me yet but I will cry later...I don't think you understand how it is building a team from (Nothing)and then getting the 1st championship in school history..
Words can not explain ๐ฅบ
I love my Athletes they will forever be in the history books!
This weekend our program won their first championship in school history! Last year our program finished at the bottom on both genders at conference. This year our women won the KJCAA east championship. The men finished runner up in the KJCAA east championship.

People really think building a program from literally nothing is easy!
No athletes. No track, no history is not easy, mind-blowing to me that people over look that and take you for granted
But they will miss you when you are gone, and they will find out how hard it really is.
It's crazy how many emails or Dm's I get after track meets from athletes that want to transfer. ๐ค
They see how much fun we have with our team they see how much we care for our athletes you can't fake real!!!!!

A parent was in my office and asked me a question.She said we visited this other Juco and it seems like both programs are the same what makes Fort Scott different?
I looked her in the eyes and said Me!
I think I'm the best no knock on anyone!

In the toughest Region in NJCAA. The Region 6 title came down to the 20th event, the 4x4!
Score was:
Barton 111

Fort Scott had to win the 4x4 to have a chance at winning the 1st ever Region 6 championship
Fort Scott won the 4x4, running 3:13.11

Last week we went to a meet with alot of D2 schools. 90% of those schools offered our athletes shortly after. Thats why I take my team to D1/D2 meets, it helps them get exposure.
Next year we are going to Mt. Sac Relays in California, another big meet to get more exposure
Bro I still can't believe we just won a Regional championship
@CoachJafetM

Please stop we not the same ๐๐๐๐คก๐คก๐คก
When a Head coach comes and visit a student athlete at their HS, that means more than a phone call. Were not your average coaching staff. We want to talk to you, your coaches, and family in person. We're looking for athletes that are motivated to get better on and off the track.
A High School coach told me today I don't talk to Jr College Coaches.They are worse then
#AAU

Woke up Region 6 Champs!
I don't think yall understand what this means for our program!
We went head-up with the powerhouse teams in Juco and we didn't flinch!!
Why not us I told my, team this in the meeting now we are on Top!
We did it the right way!
Ok, one more thing, lol
Club coaches, when my athletes come back home, don't change up my workouts.
You have no idea what our cycles look like
And again, it showed in they times

I went to a HBCU I ran the swac! and I love this move from Coach Prime you can never hate on a man for getting a better Job his dream is to win a National Championship he can't do that at JSU its a D1 (subdivision)
He left JSU better then he found it.
Congratulations Coach.

A lot of College coaches know each other. The real coaches will try to help you get into a school even if it's not their own school.few JuCO programs sent athletes my way and I have done the same.That let's me know they care about you as a person.

I have been getting asked all summer how did I get a guy from 51-46 and a young lady from 27-22
They both had a few things that made them great!
1. Dog in them!
I can't coach that!! They were Dogs!
2. Belief in me. The buy-in!
3. I listened to them when they needed rest
