I’ve recently accepted and been approved to be the Head Girls Basketball coach with PE/Health at Lansing High School in Kansas. Last week I was able to meet many of the student athletes at weights/basketball workouts and am excited for the opportunity. Go Lions!
I’m 25 years old with a lot more coaching ahead of me and I don’t think I’ll ever be apart of a game like that. Down 20 at half and our guys execute a press we have never practiced or learned besides at halftime. That’s mental focus and buying in 100%. I love my players.
Want to know why
@MBDragonSports
has been dominating the state playoffs since 2010 in every sport? Take a trip to the weight room at 6 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. Monday - Friday. Then you’ll have your answer. Outside of coaching the weight room and knowing the work you’ve put in is it.
I’ve played in a lot of basketball games in my life that have resulted in wins and none of them even come close to topping the one my guys just played. All credit goes to them for busting their butt and never giving up on one another.
Isaiah Thomas goes from all star to getting no minutes at all and look at him up cheering for his teammates...what’s your excuse to not be cheering again for your teammates? Selfish is your excuse.
Excited to have my high school coach and team
@MBDragonHoops
practicing in the gym I currently coach in tomorrow. I’ll be at the door to greet you guys.

Crazy to hear about Coach Mathews. I would always stop by his office to talk to him about anything. He really cared about the students and community of Peru. RIP Coach.
9:50 and Iverson is throwing baseball pitches into the couch. Can’t decide if I should tell him to go to bed or to keep practicing because other 3 year olds are up getting better too.
Iverson and I almost threw hands. I asked him how “Dragon School” was today. He talked about sitting criss cross. I go “yea that’s probably the most comfortable out of your options.” He says “yea your almost little enough to sit that way too”
"We're going to do our best to show that we can help people and move forward."
@MBDragonSports
started volunteer in-person summer conditioning workouts Tuesday using state health guidelines.
The school is one of the first to start workouts in Missouri.
When you have student-athletes dedicated to showing up to morning weights and open activities to all sports they participate in no matter what season they’re in this is the type of success your community will get to witness

You can tell
@MBDragonHoops
has been in a lot of big games during Kemper’s time at MB. Making all the plays late in games that have to be made to win. It’s all the things they practice too.
Talking to Iverson about shooting a basketball today. He says “well I’m almost taller than you so I’ll probably just be able to dunk it unlike you.”
So I blocked his shot then dunked on him for talking crap. Now he has to think about that all day at school.
Watching MB today and Kemper calls a play called “Pierce.” My nephew scores the first bucket of the game off of it. Funny how it all comes full circle.
If you are interested in keeping up with
@LansingGbb
or anything Lansing related give the @ a follow. I know the programs and girls would really appreciate it.
Athletes have to be in the weight room all year. If they aren’t in weights class make it part of your practice plan. Build the culture of living in the weight room. It breeds success
Since it’s game day Iverson and I listened to Timmy Turner by Desiigner and Chill Bill by Rob $tone. I can’t wait for him to be old enough to sit at the end of the bench during games
Big game for OU Saturday morning and a big game for
@CHS_BBasketball
Saturday night. Not sure my blood pressure can handle it, but we are going to give it a try.
Feb 21st 2019 when Iverson was in his “Clinton warm up” gear before the district championship game. The kid has grown a lot in 2 years and still loves to watch the games.
Have to go take my Administration test today that I’ve heard is dumb hard. I love the tests you have to take to get certified that don’t determine how good or bad you’ll be at your actual job.
You’re mad because the Cards are still playing baseball in the top of the 4th inning? I’ve seen a lot of comebacks in my life and the Pirates have time to make one of those comebacks. Play to win until the game is over.
🏆 FINAL FOUR BOUND 🏆

The history continues - the Dragons go to the Class 1 Final Four in Fenton on June 3. Incredible story.
Adia Barnes on a morning press conference and is asked about the TV clip showing her animated postgame speech to her team:
"I’m not apologizing for it because I don't feel that I need to apologize… I wouldn’t take it back."
Gonna be a sleepless night. This season is over and I’ll be replaying tonight’s game in my head while also thinking about what I need to do better as a coach for next season. I’ll also be thinking about what the main focus for individuals and team drills will be for next season.
Seeing all the positive tweets and comments about our game from the staff and community of Clinton is amazing. Thank you all for supporting our team and being their for our players.

He’s my mentor but it’s no secret I want to chase him down on that list. I don’t think the average person understands how hard it is to do what he’s doing at MB

gym. Had the music, shooting gun, and scoreboard up to make it feel as normal as possible. They get after it in practice daily. Good luck!
You have the best QB in the league (Mahomes) talking about how playing multiple sports year around helped him be the athlete he is know. What an interesting concept
