In the first episode of 2022, we are fortunate enough to speak with Spencer Arnold of Hebron Christian in Dacula, Ga. Spencer is the S&C coach who is doing some amazing work through VBT or Velocity Based Training using the Perch System which I was fortunate enough to see in person.

Graduating at 105 lbs. as a wrestler, Bill Shafer did not play high school football. But he loved to kick a football! After the Navy, he played one year of college football at the University of Akron but had to cut his career short, due to employment with the Akron Fire Department. This began, a fun period of semi-pro play and a variety of combines from California to Virginia and even at Canton, Ohio where at 46 years old, he was drafted by the Erie Freeze (Arena 2) but was cut when he was found to be 10 years older than the head coach! As a coach, Shafer worked with the storied Massillon Tigers, home of Paul Brown. It was during this time, that he and his partner David Abdul, developed the Launch Pad Kick Off Tee. This tee was used in the combine that got Shafer drafted at age 46! Shafer has enjoyed coaching players in the youth flag leagues and with Massillon and on his own locally, with kickers trying to get to the next level, with notable success. Now, Shafer, as the Senior Partner with Launch Pad Products has been touring the nation with a growing number of kicking camps, demonstrating the tee's superior capabilities. At 60, Shafer, using the Launch Pad Kick Off tee, is still capable of 60 yard kick offs and 4 seconds of hang time. Still trying to make gains.

What an inspiring episode we have for you today! Coach Dan Fodrocy is my guest coming all of the way from up in Michigan! He and I talked several weeks ago about his philosophy of leadership, and what made him want to get out of coaching after 15 seasons. You can follow him on Twitter at @Fodrocy1156 and you can listen to his podcast HERE . He emailed us a little piece about himself: I just finished a 15 year career coaching college football and as I was considering what to do next and I knew one thing, I still loved the game. I love what the game provided me, I loved the good influences I had and still wanted to be involved in that someway. I always remember what a really good coach told me one day. "Coaching football is about standing in front of a group of men." Now if women become more prevalent as happened Saturday, then awesome. But I sit back and listen to sports being discussed on major sports networks or social media and I see so much misinformation being put out there. Ultimately the misinformation I see is about leadership. It seems to me all the time that people want to say "kids these days..." and frankly I just don't get it, it's not the kids, it's us adults. It's the leaders guiding these kids that make awful decisions or it's the adults at major sports networks choosing which "opinion" or "story" is the most important. So many times they don't cover the actual facts of the story. To me that's frustrating and I wanted to try and talk about it to whoever may want to listen.
