As professional rugby intersects with the information age, statistical trends and historical data are crucial to the success or failure of a professional team. At the test level, coaches and selectors are handed a treasure trove of information about their player pool. All of this comes to life on the back of a talented rugby analyst. Matt Johnston (Aussie by birth, but currently morphed into a global ambassador for footy) is one of the most knowledgeable rugby analysts I had ever met to date. Better yet, he was patient and kind enough to walk me through some of the areas about rugby video analysis where I was completely clueless. In a couple weeks time, he instilled the confidence in me to start flying the drone myself and biting off an additional role in the U-23s fall camp. To top it all off, he's a class bloke and one of the more easy going human beings I've met. Here's a snap shot of what we covered in the conversation. How does World Rugby design a player pathway? It's not just getting into the right locations to scout talent, but making sure that they're accessible to the young players of the region. According to Matt, "You've got to build the base of the pyramid, then you can help push people toward the apex." How does World Rugby grow the game (outside of player development)? Awareness, Enjoyment, and a lifetime participation in the game. We need people playing a full career of club footy, then picking up the whistle to coach, organize or officiate. Developing casual fans is important, but developing and retaining "fans for life" is also imperative. What is it like being an analyst for a high performance team? According to Matty "It's one of the best seats in the house." Matt got into analysis in order to help his coaching. He learned by sitting in with the best minds, and absorbing their knowledge, patiently asking questions and acquiring knowledge of how to break down film. Soon knowledge turns into know how. It soon became another form of literacy for Matt. How does an analyst balance what the see in the numbers vs. their "gut instinct"? "The numbers aren't there to steer the direction of the conversation, but more to act as an accelerant." Matt knows and stresses the importance in allowing data to paint a bigger picture, but it's never a complete substitute to the bigger coaching picture. A good analyst will stay connected with the coaching staff at each possible moment to inform and educate them on what statistical data can help compliment their decision making. To anyone in the American rugby landscape who is interested in growing their skills in analysis ... The TIME IS NOW! Make some phone calls, get plugged in with your local expert. Or just head online and learn as much as you can from available online sources. No excuses, get on your horse and help #GrowTheGame ! Thanks again to Matt Johnston, a top bloke. If you see him at one of the International 7's stops, be sure to have a yarn! PICKEM!

817: Barney Adams has never been shy about sharing his opinion on what's wrong with golf and how to grow the game. In this episode, we appoint him Commissioner and challenge him to make the game easier and more accessible to a broader range of consumers. But he makes it clear that the PGA Tour and recreational golf are completely different beasts and shouldn't be confused in achieving growth. We also discuss BGT, the new Stability putter shafts that Barney has launched this year and what makes them special. https://breakthroughgolftech.com/ Golf Smarter is also brought to you by CalderaLab.com maker of The Good, the best natural face serum for men, according to GQ Magazine.

Bracket LinksBoys Division ABoys Division BBoys Division C Girls Division A Girls Division B Girls Division C Boys Division A BracketBefore we begin, I'd invite you to join the Tribal West Lacrosse Bracket Challenge. The winner of the boys Division A bracket challenge will get their choice of a camp entry to the Tribe Camp this summer, a $50 gift card to Tribal West or a $25 gift card to Tribal West. The second-place winner will get to choose between whatever the winner doesn't choose and the third place winner will get whatever is left.First Round - May 18No. 1 Corner Canyon (18-0) v. No. 16 Skyline (10-5)Corner Canyon - Jon King 95G 45A, Mason Quick 84G 30ASkyline - Max Parker 29G 24A, Joe Goodman 28G 24ACorner Canyon Head Coach Aaron Ika said, “Coach Sanchez will have his team ready to battle and we know we will get their best game. We have a team made of of guys that step up game by game and week by week. King, Neilsen, Quick, DeGracie all lead statistically on offense but Franckowiak and Serrell are no slouches either. Santi, Hanks, Egan and White anchor a stingy aggressive defense. I am just excited for the playoffs and we know as a team that an undefeated season means nothing now that we are in the playoffs. The boys will not rest on what they did. They are ready to fight and compete for every play.”Skyline Head Coach Joe Sanchez replied to my email with, “Have you ever seen the movie Miracle?” Of course I have coach! No. 2 Park  City (14-2) v. No. 15 Lone Peak (9-6)Previous Matchup: March 9, Park City won 21-18Park City - Connor Monson 49G 29A, Chase Beyer 44G 28ALone Peak - Garrett Haas 88G 38A, Luke Tucker 27G 31APark City Head Coach Michael Persky said, “Lone Peak has had one of the toughest schedules this year. They've been in every game and lost a couple by just a few goals including to us. They have probably the best player in the state in Garrett Haas. We expect this to be a battle. A bit of trivia: last year Lone Peak was boarding the bus to Park City when we all got the call that the season was canceled.”Lone Peak Head Coach Bruce Tucker said, “They are a great team.  Many weapons and just solid players. We will need a big offensive game from Garrett Haas and great team defense anchored by Luke Tucker. We are excited for the match up and to get another shot at one of the best teams.”No. 3 Farmington (16-0) v. No. 14 Brighton (10-5)Previous Matchup: March 15, Farmington won 10-8Farmington - Cole Beynon 42G 20A, Brayden Buckley 41G 15ABrighton - Carter Budge 47G 14A, Marcus Gundersen 146 saves, 56% save percentageFarmington beat Brighton this season, 10-8, but that was almost two months ago. A lot has changed for both teams so I think this one should be a great game. If you look at the programs as a whole, Farmington has only played in one full-length playoff game, a 9-8 loss to Timpview in 2019. They did make it to the final game of the IMLAX summer tournament last year but lost to Fremont. Brighton on the other hand has won 4 state championships. No. 4 Olympus (14-2) v. No. 13 Timpview (12-4)Previous Matchup: April 14, Olympus won 13-8Olympus - Hutton Murphy 46G 40A, Carson Bennion 63% faceoffsTimpview - Devin Halversen 37G 39A, Joseph Ivins 34G 11ATimpview Head Coach Taylor Redd said, “Olympus is an extremely well-coached team. They play one of the best zones I've seen at the high school level. On top of that, they fly around the field with a ton of energy. Our guys are going to need to fly around the field and match their energy. We're going to need to play 100% energy for the entire night. Last time we played Olympus, we were missing Charlie Freedman, our leading goal scorer. It will be a team effort to win but having Charlie back will help us be much more explosive. We're excited to play Olympus again. They were the best team we played and we're excited to see how we've improved.”No. 5 Green Canyon (15-1) v. No. 12 Waterford (14-2)Previous Matchup: March 23, Green Canyon won 15-10Green Canyon - Mason Anderson 57G 50A, Jake Lundin 34G 36A 70% faceoffsWaterford - Mike Osborn 56G 33A, Jake Osborn 50G 25AGreen Canyon Head Coach Troy Oldham said, “They have a really talented faceoff specialist and their poles are very physical. We have been watching them closely since the last game, and we know they are a much-improved team from when we played them earlier this year.  They are well-coached and have a ton of tradition with lacrosse so we know it's going to be a battle! Our two work-horses are Jake Lundin and Mason Anderson. While they are not our only great players, when they are both hot and playing well the rest of our team really clicks. We love having these two leaders in key positions on their field and they are both very generous in assists and able to score from multiple locations on the field. I'm so pleased with our defense this year, they have really stepped up and accepted the many challenges we have thrown at them. Jacob Regen and Luke Lee are our two senior poles who have played near-flawless games this past month and they are such fierce competitors. They are both pretty hyped to be in the playoffs and ready to play at an even higher level.” Waterford Head Coach Jack Matthews said, “We played Green Canyon earlier this year, so we know a little bit about them. Our boys are excited to get some revenge for our loss earlier in the season. It's a team game for us. We've had a balanced offense all year, and if we can get everyone involved and on the scoresheet we are tough to beat. The three 4A teams still alive would have made a great 4A state tournament, but we're excited to fight for this trophy.”No. 6 Davis (15-1) v. No. 11 Bingham (14-2)Davis - Rhett Rice 66G 32A, Blake Williams 37G 18ABingham - Logan Tew 51G 10A, Christian Jones 97 saves, 69% save percentage I don't see any reason why Davis wouldn't win this game. The only common opponent is Park City which both teams lost to, however, the Park City team that Davis played is a much different one than Bingham played. No. 7 Mountain Ridge (14-2) v. No. 10 Juan Diego Catholic (14-2)Mountain Ridge - David Wright 58G 31A, Dylan Ballard 65% faceoffsJuan Diego - Kyle Ebner 43G 16A, Andrew Bathurst 101 saves, 60% save percentage Both teams are 14-2 but the two losses for each team tell a different story. For Mountain Ridge, they lost to No. 1 Corner Canyon and No. 2 Park City. Juan Diego lost to No. 3 Farmington and No. 12 Waterford. The Mountain Ridge offense is too potent for the Juan Diego defense who has only played one Division A team in the last 9 games while beating 8 Division C teams. No. 8 American Fork (12-3) v. No. 9 Fremont (14-2)American Fork - Garrison Grimes 31G 9A, Zachary Bezzant 67% faceoffs Fremont - Carson Isaacson 51G 28A, Davis Searle 34G 38AI think American Fork feels they are better than the No. 8 seed so they'll have something to prove. The last two games have felt like playoffs games for the Silverwolves who are coming off a 15-14 loss to Davis and a 9-8 win over Weber. Boys Division B BracketFirst Round - May 18No. 1 Weber (12-4) v. No. 16 Roy (8-10)Previous Matchup: March 18, Weber won 12-9. April 20, Weber won 11-6.Weber - Ace Nichols 73G 49A, Squish Easley 49G 7ARoy - Colby Dickson 39G 16A, Samuel Kennedy 41G 2AWeber Head Coach Alex Gorton said, “I know they are a tough physical team. Sam Kennedy can score and has shown it in multiple games. This will be our third time seeing them this season. Roy is physical so if we can possess and win the groundball battle we'll be in good shape. Ace Nichols is the go-to impact player. Outside of him I'll look to Ammon Briggs to help possess the ball and run the offense. For Roy, Sam Kennedy knows how to score goals. Excited for Weber to host a home playoff game, that hasn't happened in a while. (Editor's Note: Best I can tell the last time Weber hosted a playoff game was 2011.)No. 2 Riverton (11-3) v. No. 15 Salem Hills (8-8)Previous Matchup: March 19, Riverton won 19-2Riverton - Jack Mortensen 41G 9A, Zane Johanson 54% faceoffs Salem Hills - Landon Buttars 46G 12A, Bryson Leary 69% faceoffsNo. 3 Sky View (10-5) v. No. 14 Maple Mountain (9-7)Sky View - Parker Robbins 35G 21A, Porter Jackson 167 saves, 58% save percentageMaple Mountain - Jacob Nelson 48G 5A, Casey Watkins 173 saves, 53% save percentageNo. 4 Alta (10-6) v. No. 13 Ridgeline (8-8)Alta Berkley - Horoba 34G 57A, Tyler Parry 114 saves, 59% save percentageRidgeline - Tyson Mckee 34G 29A, Dante Villa 37G 19AAlta Head Coach Brandon Horoba said, “On paper, they are a solid team and they have won some close games which shows they know what it takes to compete and win when the game is on the line. We are going to have to play a good game, take care of the ball and be aggressive on defense.  It will take our team to put in a good effort for sure this will not be a game that is handed to us no doubt.  I know they are going to come ready to play and we will have to bring that same intensity. Can't wait for the playoffs to start going to be a long week waiting for that first game.”No. 5 Wasatch (10-6) v. No. 12 East (6-7)Previous Matchup: March 16, Wasatch won 10-9 (OT)Wasatch - Gabe King 79G 32A, Josh Nokes 41G 46AEast - Petelo Tafisi 28G 6A, Gunner Longnecker 71 saves, 51% save percentageNo. 6 Bountiful (9-7) v. No. 11 Copper Hills (9-7)Bountiful - Hayden Hanson 54G 7A 59% faceoffs, Sam Lefevre 42G 23ACopper Hills - Derek Stewart 32G 9A, Logan Kofford 213 saves 65% save percentageNo. 7 Westlake (8-7) v. No. 10 Lehi (9-7)Previous Matchup: March 9, Westlake won 22-6Westlake - Hunter Hernandez 40G 34A, Hunter Larsen 111 gbs, 56 CTO, 4GLehi - Holden Hughes 52G 14A, Jasysten Larsen 60% faceoffs, 20GNo. 8 Northridge (8-8) v.

The second round will be at the home field of the lower seed on May 19. No. 8 Judge v. No. 25 Utah Military AcademyJudge won both regular-season matchups, 12-0 and 14-1. The winner plays the winner of the Skyridge v. Payson game. No. 9 Skyridge v. No. 24 Payson Skyridge won the regular-season game, 18-1. The winner plays the winner of the Judge v. UMA game. No. 10 Timpanogos v. No. 23 Mountain CrestThe winner will take on No. 7 Highland. No. 11 Viewmont v. No. 22 Mountain ViewThe winner will play No. 6 Logan. No. 12 Orem v. No. 21 JordanBoth teams lost to the only common opponent, Waterford. The winner will face No. 5 Herriman. No. 13 Spanish Fork v. No. 20 LaytonThe winner will take on No. 4 Syracuse. No. 14 West Jordan v. No. 19 Woods CrossThe winner will face No. 3 Bonneville. No. 15 Springville v. No. 18 ProvoSpringville won the first meeting, 14-6. The winner will take on No. 2 Bear River.Springville Head Coach Jared Ottley said, “While we won the first game, we know they will be coming hungry. We can't come in thinking this will be an easy win.  They want to win just as much as anyone. Jace Welsch is their man. He is the leader of their team. You can work to contain him but his high game IQ keeps him a threat and plays unselfishly...to a fault. He shoots well-placed rockets from anywhere on the field. If our full, first and second, midfield lines can show up healthy we can distribute the ball better in transition. We are pretty much where we wanted to be in the middle of Division C. More importantly, we raised interest in lacrosse here in Springville.  More than anything we wanted to expose our community to the game and get them excited and wanting to be part of something special. It is awesome to see new faces at every home game.”No. 16 Cedar Valley v. No. 17 ClearfieldThe winner takes on No. 1 Pleasant Grove.Cedar Valley Head Coach Drew Rykert said, “Our opponent every week this year has been ourselves. The wins and losses haven't been determined by how good or bad our opponents were but by how good or bad we played as a team. But all the respect to Clearfield. Senior Captain Sam Woodruffs help on offense and Freshman goalkeeper Freeman Miyasaki will be the bookends of the game. To host a playoff game in the first year of our program is a good sign of great things to come!”Girls Division A BracketYou are invited to join the Tribal West Lacrosse Bracket Challenge. The winner of the girls Division A bracket challenge will get their choice of a camp entry to the Tribe Camp this summer, a $50 gift card to Tribal West or a $25 gift card to Tribal West. The second-place winner will get to choose between whatever the winner doesn't choose and the third-place winner will get whatever is left. First Round - May 18No. 1 Park City v. No. 16 West JordanThe Miners are the clear favorites to win the Girls Division A bracket and are led by Kendall Keblish (69 goals) and Samantha Riley (31 assists). The only common opponent is Herriman who Park City beat 17-4 where the Jaguars fell twice, 19-7 and 20-7. No. 2 Mountain Ridge v. No. 15 RidgelineThe lone loss for the Sentinels was to Herriman midway through the season. Mountain Ridge is averaging 18.1 goals per game while giving up just 4.6 per game. No. 3 Skyridge v. No. 14 Corner CanyonThis will be the third meeting between the squads with Skyridge winning both times by just one goal each. I suspect this one will come down to the wire despite the distance in seeds.Corner Canyon Head Coach Matt Kenning said, “I know a lot about them. Not only did we play them twice this season, but I coached this Junior class when they were Freshmen under the WSL team before sanctioning happened. I also coach their top field players on my club team, Force Elite. If we stick to our game plan, play relaxed and play clean then we may be able to win. As a 14 seed no one expects us to win. I think this is the best match-up of the opening round.”No. 4 Brighton v. No. 13 SyracuseThe Bengals were No. 10 at one point in the RPI but played themselves into the No. 4 slot. The stats favor Brighton who is led by Oregon commit Haley Taylor (66G, 14A). No. 5 Herriman v. No. 12 AltaThe Alta defense is allowing 6.6 goals per game compared to 7.8 for Herriman. I suspect this game could be closer than the seeds suggest. No. 6 Bear River v. No. 11 WaterfordThis could be the most intriguing matchup in any bracket. Waterford is scoring more points per game but the Bear River defense is allowing just 2.8 goals per game. One of the best players in the state, Navy-bound Jaimeson Meyer, enters the game with 102 goals on the season but lining up on the other side is Marley Kierstead who has 109 goals on the season. Waterford Head Coach Betsy Weidner said, “We know Bear River has had a great season, and that we haven't played a single common opponent. We know they have some excellent abilities to put the ball in the next, as they've scored many goals in each game they've played. For our team to win, we are going to have to stay disciplined. We have been working on some fundamental transition concepts, and those will be key to a victory on Tuesday. Chuck Iacobelli and Jaime Meyer will be huge for us on the draw and on the attacking end. We also know that we have to look out for Marley Kierstead! She's had an incredible season for Bear River. We've got a lot of hungry seniors on this team looking to prove that a small school can accomplish something big. We're stoked for the opportunity to compete in the Division A bracket for a second season.” No. 7 Davis v. No. 10 OlympusThis is a great first-round matchup for both teams. Both teams beat East by double-digits but fell to Brighton by 1 goal (Oly) and 2 goals (Davis). No. 8 Farmington v. No. 9 FremontThese two teams will be in the same region next year so this is a great preview of what lies ahead. The Phoenix lost its first game of the year, 16-2, to West Jordan and have won every game since but remain untested. Fremont lost to Syracuse and Davis with both losses coming in late March. Girls Division B BracketFirst Round - May 18No. 1 Riverton v. No. 16 WeberBoth teams are giving up about 10 goals per game on average but the Silverwolves are scoring 17.3 while Weber is at just 7.3 goals per game. No. 2 Wasatch v. No. 15 Green CanyonThe Wasps are the clear favorite on paper. Sophia Nielsen leads the way with 45 goals and 19 assists for Wasatch.No. 3 Box Elder v. No. 14 RoyBoth teams beat East but lost to Ridgeline by a close margin. This game could be closer than the seeds suggest. No. 4 Timpview v. No. 13 Pleasant GroveBoth teams beat Timpanogos in the regular season and both lost by a large margin to Olympus. Timpview lost to American Fork by 4 while the Vikings lost to American Fork twice, once by 10 and once by 6. Timpview scores more goals per game and gives up less so my vote would be with the T-Birds. No. 5 American Fork v. No. 12 Maple MountainBoth teams beat Springville but that's where the similarities end. The Cavemen won 16-0 while Maple Mountain won 13-6. No. 6 Mountain Crest v. No. 11 Lone PeakAs Kenzie said in the podcast, Lone Peak could be a dark horse in Division B.Lone Peak Head Coach Weslie Lundell said, “It's going to have to take very solid transitional passing and aggressive ground ball pickups, dominating the draw, and attacking the goal for us to walk away with the win. Which I know is possible. If my girls are on their game, there's no stopping them. I know they have a key shooter, Kamrie Wilkinson, and Taryn Durham knows how to fight for the ground balls but we can compete. With Freshman Kacee Kelley taking the draw and Camryn McCunes incredible midfield defense, we'll definitely see a good game come Tuesday.”No. 7 Provo v. No. 10 TimpanogosThis is a really nice matchup and I suspect this game will be close. The common opponents line up as you would expect with both teams losing to Mountain Ridge while beating fellow Utah County foes.Provo Head Coach Megan Jensen said, “They have great players, great coaches, and a history of being strong competitors. Our team will need to work well together, move the ball smoothly, and get more draw controls & ground balls then the other team. Our talent is spread across our team, but I think Sally Otterstrom, Fielding Adams, and Libby Jaynes will have a big influence on the outcome of the game. We feel like we've already done more than was expected of us, as a new team with only one experienced player, so we are thrilled with our postseason position.  We are so excited to have a home game against a great team.” No. 8 Jordan v. No. 9 Juan DiegoThe 8/9 game is typically one of the best and I don't see why this one would be any different. Girls Division C BracketThese games will take place this Saturday, May 15. The Second Round will be on May 19 at the home field of the lower seed. No. 8 Judge v. No. 25 Salem HillsWinner plays the winner of No. 9 Payson/No. 24 West. No. 9 Payson v.

Jake Cerota and Ashton Pilz talk about how they built and led a nation-wide online learning community for College Basketball Student Managers the past 7 months. Both held weekly virtual learning sessions through Zoom to help Student Managers from across the country build genuine relationships and help them advance in their respective career paths. Each week, a different speaker from within the basketball industry, most notably Jay Bilas from ESPN, joined the call to share their knowledge, wisdom and advice. Through the success of this program, they recognized how great the need is for Student Managers to have a one-on-one mentor to help them learn and grow. To fill that need, they created The Manager Connection. As an outgrowth of Grow the Game, The Manager Connection was created and launched as a free one-on-one mentoring program connecting Student Managers from across the country with a former manager who have established themselves in the basketball industry. Currently have over 300 participants and growing.

This week my guest is Tim Healy, President/CEO of TackleBar Football, addressing the current crisis in youth football: an alarming 30% reduction in youth participation, with concussions and youth injuries at the center of the discussion. Parents are paying more attention, the numbers are declining, and it is affecting every level of football. TackleBar Football eliminates tackling while still maintaining contact. Players learn the fundamentals of the game while decreasing their chances of concussions and injuries at such a young age. Tim saw this first hand, with over 2000 kids having fun and safely playing TackleBar Football last year, they had ZERO concussions. Moms have told Tim they actually enjoyed watching the game of football once they realized their sons were not going to get hurt."I have been around football my whole life, playing 4 years at St. John’s University and spending the summer of 1987 in the New Orleans Saints training camp—the best two weeks of my life! I coached for 3 years at Roseville High School and over 10 years of youth teams with my 3 sons. I love football. I have learned so many life lessons and made lifelong friends on and around the field. It is sad to know that fewer boys will have this same opportunity to form their character and grow in virtue, perseverance, teamwork, brotherhood, and both mental and physical toughness. I believe that something has to change at the youth level or football will change as we know it. TackleBar Football is the answer. This will save the game we love." - Tim Healyhttps://tacklebar.com/
