Podcasts about high school

https://teachhoops.com/ If you look at the modern grassroots basketball landscape, you will see a massive, high-pressure push toward year-round, single-sport specialization. Club directors, private trainers, and over-eager parents will tell you that if your athletes aren't holding a basketball twelve months a year, playing in seventy summer showcase games, and skipping the fall football schedule or spring baseball tracks, they are falling behind the developmental curve. But when you step into the "Truth Room," you realize that this intense, hyper-specialized model is introducing an enormous operational leak into youth sports. Year-round specialization doesn't build better basketball players; it builds physically burnt-out, mentally exhausted, and highly fragile athletes who are prone to overuse injuries and emotional fatigue long before they reach their varsity peak. In this episode, we tackle one of the most critical cultural debates in high school sports: The Multi-Sport Athlete. We look at why the absolute best program builders don't just tolerate multi-sport athletes—they actively actively recruit them out of their school's hallways. Discover how playing multiple sports accelerates an athlete's physical coordination, protects their mental health, and sharpens a high-volume Decision IQ that transfers perfectly to the hardwood when the winter schedule tips off. To evaluate whether your program's culture actively fosters versatile athletic development or is quietly contributing to the single-sport specialization trap, ask yourself this question: "Are your off-season training expectations and summer scheduling demands designed to accommodate and value the kid who is currently competing on the gridiron, soccer pitch, or track, or are you quietly penalizing them on your winter depth chart because they chose to own another room during the basketball off-season?" If your gym standard treats a multi-sport athlete like an outsider who has "missed too much time," your culture is stuck in a transactional leak. But if you embrace the overlapping traits of multi-sport competition, you unlock a diverse roster of resilient, battle-tested winners. An elite multi-sport athlete brings unique physical and psychological traits to your winter roster that cannot be replicated by spending twelve straight months playing standard 5-on-5 basketball: The Hardwood Transfer: A kid who spent their fall absorbing contact on a football field or navigating tight spatial vision constraints on a soccer pitch does not shrink when physical friction arrives on a Friday night basketball court. They understand how to establish a low center of gravity, anchor their stance in the low post, and play through heavy contact to secure an interior rebound. They naturally protect your defensive Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$) because they possess an inherent standard of physical toughness. The Hardwood Transfer: Track athletes understand baseline stride efficiency, linear deceleration, and explosive leaping mechanics. Baseball and softball players possess elite hand-eye coordination and kinetic rotational timing. When you jam these diverse movement profiles into a 120-minute basketball practice script, their physical Rep Density scales rapidly because their bodies are structurally balanced and resilient against overuse strains. The Hardwood Transfer: When a multi-sport athlete walks into your locker room in November, they are starving for basketball. They aren't carrying the psychological exhaust of playing one hundred meaningless summer showcase games. They bring a fresh, competitive energy to the floor. They are experts at adjusting to different coaching lenses—knowing exactly how to submit to The Antagonist's defensive demands or follow The Yoda's tactical schemes because they've operated under different leadership models all year. Coach's Note: "Stop listening to the multi-million dollar club circuits telling you your kids need to specialize at fourteen years old. Look at the data: the absolute best competitors, the ones who know how to close out games under extreme pressure, are the kids who have spent their entire lives competing in every arena possible. When an athlete is a quarterback in the fall, a point guard in the winter, and a shortstop in the spring, they spend all year learning how to lead, how to handle adversity, and how to win. Share the kids, cooperate with your fellow coaches, and let's build complete athletes." Title Ideas: Should Basketball Players Specialize or Play Multiple Sports?

Logan Holloman  |  Next Gen Pastor  |  July 19, 2026 9am   Referenced Scripture:  Romans 14:1–9, 2 Timothy 2:22–26   Reflection Questions: 1. Where do you see yourself most tempted to make secondary issues feel like primary issues?(Examples: politics, worship styles, parenting, schooling, spiritual gifts, cultural preferences, personal convictions.) Follow-up: Why do you think we are so quick to turn differences of conviction into judgments about someone's faith?   2. Romans 14:3 says, “God has accepted them.” How should remembering that God has welcomed someone change the way we approach believers who think differently than we do? Follow-up: What is the difference between "accepting" someone and simply "agreeing" with someone?   3. Paul says, “Who are you to judge someone else's servant?” (Romans 14:4). Where are you most tempted to take a role that belongs only to Jesus? Follow-up: What does it look like practically to trust Jesus as Lord over someone else's spiritual growth instead of trying to control it?   4. Romans 14:8 says, “Whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.” How does belonging to Jesus change the way we hold our convictions, opinions, and freedoms?

Everyone wanted to talk about the laptop.Jonathan Tamayo wanted to talk about mahjong.Because before the 2024 WSOP Main Event title, the $10,000,000 score, and the most debated rail in poker, Tamayo was a kid in Houston playing games with his grandparents, getting bankroll money from his grandpa, trying to figure out PartyPoker, and learning the hard way like everyone else.He had the early online poker growing pains, the college poker games, the PartyPoker bad beat jackpot, the Sunday Million score, the first WSOP summer, the 2009 Main Event heartbreak, Black Friday, daily fantasy, backing, a cash game stable, and years of being very good without quite becoming that guy.Then 2024 happened.And somehow the guy who had already been deep in the Main Event before found himself back in the exact spot every poker player dreams about.Only this time, he won the whole thing.In this episode of The Table 1 Podcast, Jonathan Tamayo joins Art Parmann and Justin Young to tell the full story.Topics include: ♠️ Growing up in Houston with NASA parents and mahjong games ♥️ Grandpa casually funding the early gambling years ♦️ PartyPoker, online mistakes, and the bad beat jackpot ♣️ His first WSOP summer and $1,500 runner-up finish ♠️ The wildest $1/$3 game at the Rio ♥️ The 2009 Main Event run and Billy Kopp hand ♦️ Black Friday and falling behind the European solver wave ♣️ Daily fantasy swings, including a $900K football sweat ♠️ The 2015 Main Event and Joe McKeehen rail ♥️ Building a cash game stable ♦️ The 2024 Main Event run ♣️ LaptopGate, final table prep, and what actually happened ♠️ The heads-up live tell that helped swing the match ♥️ Winning the Main Event and what changes after $10M We also get into why the Main Event still matters, the truth about final table preparation, what people misunderstood about the rail, how poker strategy has changed, why the player pool is aging, and what poker's future problem might really be.This one is part origin story, part Main Event breakdown, and part answer to the controversy everyone had an opinion on.What's your honest take on final table rails using laptops?Timestamps 00:00 — Intro + 2024 Main Event Champ 01:43 — Houston Roots, Mahjong & NASA Parents 05:22 — Humble High School + Lazy-Good Student Life 07:56 — Cornell, Hotel School & Golf 11:02 — First Poker Games in High School 15:18 — Grandpa Bankrolls the Gambling 18:02 — PartyPoker, Western Union & Online Growing Pains 19:15 — The PartyPoker Bad Beat Jackpot 21:39 — Sunday Million Score + Bad 2008 Job Market 23:19 — First WSOP Summer + $1,500 Runner-Up Finish 25:00 — The Wildest $1/$3 Game at the Rio 34:08 — Turning Stone, Brian Hastings & Cornell Private Games 36:21 — 2009 Main Event Run Begins 38:16 — Day 3 Heater + Jenga Chip Explosion 42:44 — Billy Kopp Hand + 21st Place Finish 45:20 — Backing, Supernova Elite & Old-School 10Ks 50:30 — Black Friday + Falling Behind the Europeans 52:23 — Daily Fantasy Grind + DraftKings Hockey Championship 58:23 — The $900K Fantasy Football Sweat 59:13 — 2015 Main Event Run + Joe McKeehen's Year 1:02:23 — McKeehen Final Table Rail + Early “Laptop” System 1:04:54 — Cash Game Stable + Long-Term Backing Setup 1:06:58 — 2024 Main Event Begins 1:09:47 — Day 2 Heater + First All-In Risk 1:10:21 — “The Hand” That Changed Everything 1:12:09 — Day 5–8 Main Event Grind 1:13:29 — Final 18 + Dom Starts Coaching From the Rail 1:16:35 — From 15 of 18 to the Final Table 1:18:06 — 10 Left + The Queens Fold 1:23:25 — LaptopGate + Final Table Prep 1:29:02 — Heads-Up Live Tell Breakthrough 1:33:00 — Winning the Main Event 1:35:37 — What's Next + Staying in His Lane 1:37:53 — What He Did With the Money 1:38:30 — Poker's Future Problem Jonathan's Links X: https://x.com/driverseati Instagram: https://instagram.com/driverseati Table 1 Links Play with us in Vegas: https://table1.vegas

In this SG Deep Dive, Dan Krikorian, Patrick Carney, and Eric Fawcett examine how offenses are attacking the hedge-and-plug pick-and-roll coverage that continues to spread throughout European and modern basketball.The conversation begins with why the coverage has become so effective. Hedge and plug allows the defense to pressure the ball without fully committing two defenders, protect the short roll, and remain compact behind the play. Because many offenses still rely on two quick passes to escape the hedge, defenses have also become increasingly prepared for the rotations that follow.From there, the group explores ways to create an advantage before the defense can settle. They break down rejecting the hedge, using Gortat screens against the recovering big, flipping or hooking the screening angle, “sticking” the plug defender, and flowing into boomerang rescreens that can turn the original hedge into a drop or switch.A central theme is the micro closeout faced by the on-ball defender after disengaging to plug the roll. The discussion covers how offenses can attack that vulnerable footwork, along with defensive teaching points involving stance, handwork, jump timing, and calculated risk.The episode also revisits Dave Collins' idea of coaching as “informed art.” The group discusses blending cognitive science, ecological dynamics, the constraint-led approach, and predictive processing while still accounting for the players, context, and human feel of coaching.They close with the European teams and playoff series currently filling their film queues. What You'll Learn Why hedge and plug can create ball pressure while keeping the rest of the defense compact.  How advanced defenses are solving the pick-and-roll two-on-two and preparing for the offense's second pass.  Why rejecting the hedge can expose the on-ball defender's moment of disengagement.  How to use Gortat screens, flip screens, and boomerang rescreens against the recovering big.  What the group means by a micro closeout, and why it gives the ball handler an immediate advantage.  Teaching considerations for the plug defender's footwork, hand positioning, and jump timing.  Why offenses need to generate an advantage inside the initial ball-screen action instead of simply accepting the coverage.  How coaches can blend cognitive science, ecological dynamics, and predictive processing without becoming tied to a single framework.  Why good practices and wins deserve the same level of reflection as poor performances.  Teams and playoff series worth studying across the Spanish ACB and European basketball.To join coaches and championship winning staffs from the NBA to High School from over 70 different countries taking advantage of an SG Plus membership, visit HERE!

(Riverton, WY) – Riverton High School’s Tessa Kenyon joined the County 10 Podcast after returning from Washington D.C. where she attended the FCCLA National Convention. FCCLA or Family, Career and Community Leaders of America, turned into a passion for Tessa in 8th grade. Kenyon told us that it was instructor Kelli Gard who first inspired her to join the club. What started as a simple suggestion turned into a multi-year effort that culminated with the organization’s most prestigious honor in the nation’s capital. Kenyon was chosen as an FCCLA National Officer. Specifically, she’s National Vice President of Programs. To put the honor into a little perspective, there’s over 270,000 members in the country. Tessa was the only selection from the state. Wyoming’s last representative for a national officer position was when Wright’s Shelby Smith achieved it in 2021. Tessa and her team pose in front of the United States Capitol Kenyon knew that she was a candidate, but most don’t receive the high ranking designation. After the candidates received a letter revealing their fate, Tessa waited to open hers until she was in her hotel room surrounded by her mom, her sister and her advisor. “I literally got to ‘Dear Tessa Kenyon. Congratulations, you’ve been’ — and I couldn’t stop crying. I cried all my makeup off that I had put on that morning.” Tessa Kenyon holds her congratulatory letter. She’ll now work to represent those 270,000+ members. Next month she flies back across the country to Virginia for an FCCLA planning meeting. She’ll go to Disney’s Imagination Campus, help plan the 2027 National Convention and much more along the way.

Beat Migs! We ask the rockaholics.

Buckle up sweet listeners, this one is extra special. Sarah and Jane sat down with Davis Haines, an artist, musician, and near-death experiencer who is an exceptionally sparkly human. Tear stained and soggy from the conversation, by the end both of us are convinced he is emitting actual light beams. Davis grew up in a wonderful but chaotic, art-obsessed family in Alabama, an identical twin who found himself through theater, poetry, and a barbershop quartet. Davis he woke up at 5am in High School to rehearse with (the devotion!). He fell in love young, coined his own spiritual identity as a "love-ist" because why not just make up the word you need, and lived that glorious, broke, funk-band-and-feather-boas artist life in Chicago in his early twenties. Then, on July 11, 2011, a bike ride took a dark turn. Davis went under the back tires of a truck, and was given a 1% chance of survival. During emergency surgery, he died. And what he found on the other side was not tunnels or visions, it was love, love and love capital L. The rest of the episode is a joyful wander through what Davis calls integration, the long and winding thirteen-year-average process of putting himself back together. There is a vision quest, a skydive, some ayahuasca, a whole lot of learning to just be, a stray backyard cat named nothing in particular, and a soul mantra ("thank you, I love you") that will bring you all the feels. Key Takeaways Integration takes time, sometimes as long as a decade or more, and there is zero shame in the slow, messy unfolding. Let it be a whole journey, not a weekend project. Rest is not the opposite of a spiritual life. It might BE the spiritual life. Chill guilt is real and worth releasing. The universe has a flair for the dramatic. When something feels too perfectly symbolic to be a coincidence, it might be worth paying attention to. Chasing the big cosmic feeling through extreme experiences often leads right back to something delightfully small, like a baby waving hello or a cat on the compost bin. Healing generational wounds does not require a big dramatic showdown. Sometimes it just looks like raising a kid who has never once doubted her own magnificence. You do not need a tunnel of light or a dramatic vision to have a real, life-rearranging near-death experience. Sometimes love shows up as pure feeling, no special effects required. Direct Quotes "God is a feeling... this was one of those things where I was like, oh, oh, oh, God is everything, like everything." "It was like sinking into a warm tub after a long cold day in the snow, times a thousand." "I say that Art saved my life." "Thank you, I love you. Thank you, I love you. That has actually become my prayer, my mantra." "Actually, this is it... I can't believe that I am happily living in my hometown doing this."

Anyone who knew me as a young person I think will have a giggle at this conversation with Toni Buzzeo, because I was terrified of pretty much all flying things - yes, chickens, too... I've been stung once, and I can tell you where it happened, and on what part of the body when I was around 8 years old. My sister is very much the same, but I'm much better than I used to be - working in a garden gives a person a lot of appreciation for their job.Toni Buzzeo spent many years in southern Maine - her husband built her a beautiful writing cottage there, and she wrote many of her books there. She has written 31 picture books, a novel, and 11 books for teachers. As a longtime Librarian, and college and High School writing teacher before that, Toni settled on writing, and is very happy there. Her most recent book is called Buzz: Being Brave Around Stinging Insects. Toni has young grandchildren, and she wanted them to not be afraid, but also to appreciate them for all that pollinators make happen in our world. Find everything about Toni at her website: https://tonibuzzeo.com/She's also on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/arlingtonnonna/Send me a message!Support the showLike this episode?

In this week's episode of "Registered," we speak with Iola High School principal Scott Carson. Big changes await IHS students when they return this fall. First, a statewide ban on cell phones will be in effect. Second, the school is moving away from assigning Chromebooks to each student, instead allowing students to have access to classroom Chromebook carts on an as-needed basis. The two changes will affect every single student, teacher and classroom. They also come as more and more schools are critical of, or are certainly rethinking, technology's place in our children's education. We talk with Carson about what this means for Iola students, how the school is adapting, and what's next as the school year approaches.

This week on the Slappin' Glass Podcast, Dan and Pat are joined by International Pro Head Coach and player development specialist Matt Jones for a deep dive into shooting development, coaching communication, and building conceptual offense.The conversation opens with Jones' approach to evaluating shooters, beginning with one of his core beliefs: watch the player first. Before over-coaching or over-correcting, Jones discusses the value of being a “quiet eye,” identifying inefficiencies, and helping players simplify their shooting movement. From there, he gets into the details of clean catches, loaded wrists, open palms, shot preparation, and how small mechanical improvements can create real gains at higher levels.Jones also shares how he uses player feedback, feel-based cues, and individualized terminology to help shooters self-correct. Rather than flooding players with technical language, he explains how the best cues often come from what the player physically feels, giving coaches a more useful way to teach shooting under pressure.In the show's Start, Sub, or Sit segment, the conversation shifts to finding your coaching voice as an introvert, where Jones breaks down the importance of preparation, listening, terminology, and getting enough coaching reps to build confidence. The episode closes with a thoughtful discussion on conceptual offense, including re-triggers, offensive talk, cutting rules, late-clock structure, and how to help players find the next action without becoming robotic.What You'll LearnHow Matt Jones evaluates shooters before making mechanical correctionsWhy simplifying a player's shot can improve repeatability and efficiencyThe importance of clean catches, open palms, loaded wrists, and eliminating wasted movementHow to introduce variability into shooting workouts without overwhelming the playerWhy feel-based cues can be more effective than over-teaching techniqueHow analytics can help shape shooting development without damaging a player's confidenceWhy free throws can be used as a powerful form-shot reset inside a workoutHow introverted coaches can develop their voice through preparation, terminology, and coaching repsWhy “your terminology is your culture” when communicating with playersHow conceptual offense depends on cutting rules, spacing, re-triggers, and offensive talkWhy the player with the ball must think like the point guard in read-based offenseHow random practice environments can help players learn to self-organize late in possessionsTo join coaches and championship winning staffs from the NBA to High School from over 70 different countries taking advantage of an SG Plus membership, visit HERE!

Nobody hands you anything in the Bowerman Mile—not even on your first day.Two days after his professional debut at the Prefontaine Classic, Gary Martin joined the show to break down a lifetime-best 3:48.76 in the deepest mile field ever assembled, and why he walked away wishing he'd been more aggressive. The newest Brooks Beast member takes us inside the shock of going out in 1:53 after a college season of tactical racing, lining up against Ethan Strand again, and what it felt like to finally pull the Brooks singlet out of the bag after two years as one of the brand's first NIL athletes.  Gary is refreshingly honest about the season behind him: falling short of the NCAA 1500 title against Simeon Birnbaum, the frustration of watching a new contender rise every time he reached the top, and the mindset that carried him through it. He explains what drew him to Danny Mackey and Seattle, why Josh Kerr's discipline in the margins inspires him, and lays out the ladder for his pro career—make teams, make finals, then fight for medals.Plus, they get into the PA sub-4 pipeline he started, Vin Lananna's pencil-sharpening analogy, the habits that kept him healthy for four straight years, his advice for every high schooler dreaming of going pro (be patient, be present), and a dream 4x-mile squad featuring Kerr, Cam Myers, and Jakob Ingebrigtsen—with Gary leading off, naturally.This is a chat with one of the sport's brightest young stars, at the very beginning of the climb.Tap into the Gary Martin Special. If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

MLB just proposed ending the high school draft, and before you panic, you should understand what is being negotiated. MLB agent Matt Hannaford breaks down the proposal to eliminate high school draft eligibility, cut the draft from 20 to 12 rounds, and slash signing bonuses, and he explains why he reads it as a negotiating tactic rather than a done deal. If you are a baseball parent or player, here is what it would mean for your development path, your leverage, and your money.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN What MLB actually proposed, and which parts are most and least likely to happen Why an MLB agent reads this as a negotiation tactic rather than a final outcome How ending the high school draft would quietly remove player leverage The second-order effect: more reclassifying, more college players drafted, less money for everyone What you should and shouldn't change about your plan right now   On June 18, Baseball America reported that MLB proposed eliminating high school draftee eligibility as part of its collective bargaining negotiations with the Players Association. The same framework would cut the draft from 20 to 12 rounds, reduce bonuses by more than 50%, install hard slot bonuses, and allow more trading of draft picks. Matt Hannaford has direct relationships inside those negotiations, so he walks through the proposal and then explains how these negotiations move behind the scenes. His read is that most of what gets reported through the media never makes the final agreement. MLB's real goal, he argues, is fewer rounds, less money paid to players, and more control. He then walks through the worst case: if high school eligibility went away, the best players would reclassify and reach college sooner, squeezing the traditional college player while colleges gain leverage and spend less. For parents, his advice is to keep moving forward as if nothing is changing, because context matters more than any headline.   Have a question about your son's path?

Andrew is a current college football player at Ithaca College, where he plays defensive end, and he is also the head boys basketball coach at Newfield High School in Newfield, New York. At just 20 years old, Andrew is balancing college football, academics, internships, leadership responsibilities, film study, practice planning, and building a high school basketball program. This conversation dives into how he manages that workload, why coaching became such a passion for him at a young age, and how being a college athlete helps him become a better coach. Andrew shares how he first became obsessed with coaching and leadership while he was still in high school, how he started learning from coaches early, and why building genuine relationships with players matters more than X's and O's. We also talk about the Newfield community, the culture he is building within the basketball program, the grind of being a college football player, and how leadership has no age limit. This episode is packed with lessons for athletes, coaches, parents, young leaders, athletic directors, and anyone who cares about culture, player development, and the impact sports can have on people. In this episode, we talk about: Andrew Mendel's role as a college football player and high school basketball coach Playing defensive end at Ithaca College Becoming the head boys basketball coach at Newfield High School How Andrew started learning coaching while still in high school Why relationships matter more than X's and O's Building culture inside a basketball program The grind of college football Balancing school, football, internships, and coaching Why being coached every day helps Andrew become a better coach Why coaching helps him become a better football player and leader The importance of being genuine with players Newfield basketball and the power of community Andrew's three program pillars: work hard, be a great teammate, and enjoy the journey Why "who you are" matters inside a program The life lessons Andrew has learned through sports Andrew's story is a reminder that leadership is not about age.
