This is an episode to honor the late, great John Beam who passed away last week.  John was the Athletic Director and former Head Football Coach at Laney College in Oakland, CA.  He and I met in 1989 when I arrived at Skyline High School in Oakland where he coached football for 22 years.  John and his Laney College Eagles were featured in the series Last Chance U on Netflix in 2020.  As an incredibly successful high school and college football coach over more than 40 years, John knew a lot about how to build a winning culture – in football, business, and life.  This interview was conducted in August of 2020 and we are re-airing this conversation in honor of John's great life, wisdom, and legacy.   Resources: We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins Mike Robbins Website Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky Skyline High School Laney College Last Chance U on Netflix John Beam on Wikipedia John Beam on X

On Friday's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and Chris Egan from KING 5 start off the Friday show, minus, the Go-2-Guy, Jim Moore who is off traveling to Pullman for Parents Weekend.  Puck and Egan talked about what stage of grief they are in with the Mariners and they have yet to reach the point where they are thankful on the past season.  Once thing they agree on is that this year is not a predictor on next season.  Ownership and front office must be committed to winning in 2026. Once the boys are over talking Mariners, they switch gears to high school sports and discuss the controversy surrounding the Skyline High School football program and the suspension and reinstatement of head coach Peyton Pelluer.   The decision surrounds a group of senior parents upset about playing time and they took their grievances to the school and the school district.   What has unfolded is just an ugly, ugly story of a group of entitled parents having too much influence and a school and school district lacking a backbone.  Pucksports handicapper TroyWins.comjoins Puck to discuss the top games in college football and the NFL.   After Puck wraps up with Troy, he welcomes “Friday Night Lights” with Todd Milles from VarsityWaNews.com to cover and preview all the top games in high school football and Todd shares his reporting and perspective on the situation at Skyline High School.   Puck then heads to High School football with “The Last Word” with Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times to get the latest on the Seahawks.  This past Monday they showed that they truly are championship contenders, but at the same time they do have their warts.  The running game is preventing them from comfortably closing games, why is that happening?  Drake Thomas continues to be a great story for the defense and one of the best stories in the league.   The trade deadline is 10 days away, does Bob anticipate any moves being made for Seattle?Puck wraps up the show with “Hey, What the Puck!?”   Once again, parents are trying to ruin high school sports (1:00) Puck and Chris Egan (38:00) TroyWins.com (44:46) Todd Milles, Varsitywanews.com (1:03:25) Bob Condotta, Seattle Times (1:29:14) “Hey, What the Puck!?”

The conversation delves into the impact of Brandon's high school coach, Roger Dupaix, and his unique coaching style, which instilled work ethic, consistency, and attention to detail. Brandon shares how these principles seamlessly transitioned to his college football experience at BYU under the legendary coach Lavell Edwards. He illustrates Lavell's unwavering leadership, delegation style, and the environment of trust he fostered among his coaches. Brandon reflects on his experience as a counselor in a married student ward bishopric while still playing at BYU—an early calling that provided valuable spiritual growth and a crucial perspective. Currently serving as a stake president for a young single adult stake, Brandon shares the unique aspects of this calling, including the transition to having young adults in all leadership positions. He notes the challenges faced by young adults today and how the stake strives to create a supportive and spiritually nourishing environment. The discussion explores the specifics of leading a YSA stake, including the geographic considerations and the collaborative approach with family stakes in calling bishops. Brandon emphasizes the role of the bishop and his wife as examples and guides for the young adults. He also discusses the dynamic with his counselors and the focus on temple ordinances and training. Brandon shares key principles, such as prioritizing the most important aspects and the constant need to adapt and learn. He highlights the valuable training provided by church leadership, the importance of finding and gathering all individuals, and his belief in the divine potential of each young adult to receive a full inheritance. 00:00:00 - Introduction to YSA Leadership and Transition 00:03:24 - Brandon Doman's Early Faith Development and Family Influence 00:06:03 - Family Challenges and the Pursuit of Football Scholarships 00:07:30 - The Role of Sports and Parental Involvement in Childhood 00:13:05 - Influence of High School Coach Roger Dupe and His Principles 00:15:49 - Transition to BYU Football and Lavell Edwards' Coaching 00:20:48 - A Leadership Lesson from Lavell Edwards' Consistency 00:23:19 - Lavell Edwards' Delegation and Trust in His Coaches 00:24:53 - Early Church Leadership as a BYU Quarterback 00:28:30 - Calling as a Stake President for Young Single Adults 00:33:15 - Challenges and Needs of Young Adults in Today's World 00:37:57 - Orienting Bishops in Young Single Adult Wards 00:39:39 - The Role of Bishops and Their Wives as Examples 00:41:26 - Dynamics with Stake Counselors and Focus on Temple Ordinances 00:43:10 - Key Leadership Principles Learned as Stake President 00:48:12 - Hope and Encouragement for Those Worrying About Young Adults 00:54:54 - The Importance of Gathering and Finding Everyone The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' missio...

Blue Origin, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's space tourism company, completed its latest spaceflight on Monday with a six-member all-female crew that included pop singer Katy Perry; CBS Mornings host Gayle King; and Lauren Sánchez, an author, TV host turned philanthropist and Bezos's fiancée.They were joined by activist Amanda Nguyen, ex-NASA engineer Aisha Bowe and film producer Kerianne Flynn on the suborbital flight, which lasted less than 11 minutes.King defended the Blue Origin mission in an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday after hearing criticism from people she knows, likes and “considers friends.”uaydarius Davis, a former 4-star recruit from Skyline High School in Dallas, Texas, was arrested and charged with burglary, domestic abuse and battery by strangulation, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by WFAA. Davis, who played college football for Jackson State University, Texas Southern University and most recently Southern University, according to his player bio on ESPN.com, was arrested in Tulsa, Okla., after video footage showed him choking a woman until she lost consciousness, according to the affidavit.Coachella ticket prices are around $599, to experience headliners like Lady Gaga, Travis Scott, and Post Malone. But how are fans paying that in this economy? Thanks to payment plans, those steep costs are becoming increasingly manageable. This year, around 60% of general admission ticket buyers used Coachella's in-house payment plan, which allowed fans to reserve tickets for as little as $49.99 upfront. The remaining balance was typically spread over three months—a model reshaping how festivals are marketed.

He's coming for it all.  2025 is the year of Hobbs Kessler.  Back on the podcast today is 21-year-old mid-distance Olympic star Hobbs Kessler, who is gearing up for the Wanamaker Mile at the Milrose Games in New York City on February 8, 2025. (Hobbs came in 2nd last year at this race with a time of 3:48.66; fellow American star Yared Nuguse took the win.) Hobbs was most recently on the episode right after placing 5th in the 1500m in Paris, running a 3:29.45, in the most stacked and competitive 1500 race of all time. He also ran the 800m in the Olympics, but was eliminated in the semifinals.  Hobbs competed for Skyline High School in Ann Arbor, Michigan (the school he attended for academics did not offer competitive sports). It was in high school that Hobbs ran an indoor mile record of 3:57.66. Hobbs then ran a 3:34.36 in the 1500m while still in high school, which was faster than the NCAA record at the time; this catapulted him to his first Olympic Trials in 2021.  While Hobbs' father was his high school coach, he delegated most of the planning for his son's training to Michigan coach Ron Warhurst, whom he still trains under as a member of the Very Nice Track Club in Michigan. This 21-year-old is chock full of professionalism and has a laundry list of accomplishments.  In today's conversation, we dive into Hobbs's fall training, his mindset for the Millrose games and the 2025 season, how he views breakthroughs, advice to make your 2025 your best year yet, why 2025 is the year of Hobbs Kessler, and so much more.  We can't wait for you to hear this episode. Lace-up your shoes, throw in your AirPods, and enjoy this conversation with the legend Hobbs Kessler.  Tap into the Hobbs Kessler Special.   If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it.  If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!

Sometimes the road to professional football takes a non-traditional path. Colorado native Gabe Knapton knows that trail well.After playing linebacker for his dad, who demanded a lot as the head coach at Skyline High School in Longmont, Gabe had his choice of many colleges to continue his playing career. It came down to Wyoming and Colorado State. He chose to be a Cowboy because of alumni in his family and most importantly, the coaches.  During his time in Laramie, the staff switched Gabe from linebacker to defensive end. He made the transition look easier than it was because of his motor and non-stop hustle. In reality, it was difficult to learn a very different position and physically he was still more like a linebacker. Regardless, he had hopes of getting drafted in the NFL and while a few teams called during the draft, no one called his name or his agent. Unsure of what to do at that point, Gabe's dad suggested taking a year off, working out and staying ready. So, he took a gap year before gap years were cool and eventually played indoor football with the Colorado Ice, then got his break with the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League. He would be named Montreal's Rookie of the Year and go on to play for several years in the CFL between Montreal and the BC Lions. In retirement, Gabe is a busy guy: husband, father of two, owner of Different Breed Performance gym and a firefighter with the City of Thornton.  Listen to Gabe's story and conversation with Susie Wargin on the Cut Traded Fired Retired Podcast. 

We are fortunate to have Ty Keck on this episode to discuss practice planning and structure.  Keck is the head girls coach at Skyline High School in Idaho Falls, Idaho. He led Skyline to a 4A state runner-up finishes in 2022 and 2024 and has been a great resource for coaches like myself who have adopted a conceptual offense and CLA principles.

“The only thing that is guaranteed in college is that your career will NOT go exactly as you imagined.”A year ago, the legendary coach, Chris Petersen shared that line with the best high school quarterbacks in the nation at the Elite 11 Finals in Los Angeles and I watched it land like a Simone Biles gold medal routine.As I criss-cross the nation and watch QBs like Oregon's Dillon Gabriel, Penn State's Drew Allar and today, Will Howard at Ohio State compete in training camp, I keep thinking about that line and as each QB drops back to pass I can't help but recognize that each of these signal callers have met their fair share of adversity.Like Coach Petersen said: it's not IF, but WHEN adversity hits.We are in a different era in college football, as 46 projected starters in Power 4 football are transfers. Each of those quarterbacks comes with a story of adversity, and how they had to meet it and compete to work through it. If I'm honest, I think the majority of transfers are leaving their college of choice too soon and robbing themselves of staring those hard times in the eye. If I were to offer advice, I'd urge QBs to make a contract with themselves and to commit to at least 2 years at their initial school, pending a coaching change, and regardless of their place on the depth chart, to compete and lean into the joy of the work. Then take stock of what they learned about themselves on the other side of adversity.One quarterback who transferred and met that adversity is Jake Heaps, who has seen it in numerous unexpected styles of his quarterback life. He shared his lessons learned in our latest conversation, presented by our founding partner 76.Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.In my football life, I've learned that it's rare to be able to see life through the lens of a quarterback. It's even rarer to see it through the lens of a 5-Star QB, Elite 11 MVP, freshman starter, two-time transfer, NFL QB, media personality, NFL QB trainer and entrepreneur. But for those that can, there are lessons to be learned. And for those that can't, today's conversation is for you.Jake left Skyline High School in Seattle, WA as an 18-year-old with huge dreams. In 2009, Jake was the Elite 11 MVP and crowned the top quarterback in high school football. He arrived at BYU as a heralded recruit and backed up the hype, starting as a true freshman and even beating the school's freshman record for TDs held by Ty Detmer. But after that first year, his path began to meet adversity and Jake began to learn about himself in the most unexpected and powerful way.He would transfer to Kansas under Charlie Weis, and eventually Miami under Al Golden before starting his professional playing career with the New York Jets, signing as an undrafted free agent. We met in 2009 during the Elite 11 Finals and over the past decade have worked together with that organization, coaching the next generation of QBs. Jake is a product of his experiences and has chosen to pour into quarterbacks across the globe. We discussed what matters most to be an elite QB, advice to parents of recruits and that to be a special player only one thing can cut through, regardless of craft. The work, or as Jake says, “You can't cheat the grind.”Hope you enjoy our conversation and be sure to give Y-Option a follow on Twitter and Instagram for today's report from Columbus, as we get to see one of the most talented teams in recent college football history as part of our Big Ten Network Training Camp Tour.Much love,YogiThis episode is produced by Jim Thornby and edited by Jessica Altman.This podcast is a Best Coast Media production.Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

Dr. Yee's support and encouragement were unwavering. He even penned an article about Elin and Christina in an Oakland magazine article, proud that they returned to serve their hometown community.

Jessee Clapier, also known as Vinny, Jasper, and, by his father in law, Jeff, was born and raised in Holladay, Utah as the youngest of 6 kids. He attended Churchill Jr. High and Skyline High School where he met his one and only girlfriend at the age of fifteen. Jess proposed six years later after Eliza told him to NEVER talk to her about marriage. Traveling is a priority to Jess because he is fascinated with varying cultures. Jess served an LDS mission in the Philippines and he and Liza once backpacked Southeast Asia for six months. Jess is a connoisseur of dried mangoes, Thai food is his favorite, and he loves flying his drone in the mountains. Jess is also an avid University of Utah football fan and was even found crying for his team at the latest Rose Bowl game. Yes, actual tears. Jess went through an interesting phase in his early teen years of filming and starring in his own music videos. If you ever find yourself in need of some quality  entertainment on a Saturday night, check out jvclapier on YouTube. The Listen to your Heart Remix video is sure to brighten your day.  Jess tends to jump around companies in his work purely because he gets bored and is consistently looking for the next challenge. He works as a web designer and has an eye for all things design. Jess is nothing short of brilliant and is always working on some random project. He has built standup arcades and as a child, a pulley system to turn off his bedroom lights from his bed. Jess is a natural athlete and pain seems to only mildly affect him. From a young age, Jess played football, baseball, wrestled, and ran cross country. He goes so hard in flag football, that he once broke both pinky fingers in one day. Jess also placed second in state wrestling with broken ribs his senior year. However, Jess never could quite catch a break when it came to sports injuries and this was a large source of frustration for him.  That is when he found biking. With the physical determination of a high school wrestler, and the social awkwardness of a high school choir boy, Jess was kind of destined to end up on a bike. Jess got on a road bike for the first time in 2016 after finding a cheap Giant on KSL. It was truly love at first ride. The next two years brought a lot of travel and moving around, so it wasn't until 2019 that Jess was actually able to start investing time into biking. He has had setbacks, including a major crash in 2020 and a car accident previously that has caused nagging back issues. But, Jess is determined and has pushed on. Jess is loved by all who meet him. He even crashed his in-laws car in high school and they still let him marry their daughter. He is mindful of others and always looking for ways to build relationships and bring joy into others' lives. He has the biggest heart of anyone you will ever meet and is by far the favorite uncle to his 25+ nieces and nephews. When not cycling, Jess can be found hanging out with his mother-in-law, tinkering with things around the house, watching formula one, or investing in crypto. Although he may not admit it, Jess loves a good bachelor night with a nice and cold swig drink and some fresh cookies. Jess' passion for biking is profound. He rides simply because he LOVES it. Biking is a way for him to experience the beauty of the world, cope with the stressors of life (especially those put upon him by his wife

Charmeachealle ‘Mike' Moore was captivated by football early in life. With the sport running through his family's veins, Mike hankered for NFL glory. Mediocre academic performance and a competitive athletic culture at the Skyline High School forced Mike to go into overdrive, landing him a football scholarship with Kansas State University. A slew of extreme highs and lows ensued in rapid succession. He successfully fended off a brain tumor, completed his Bachelor's degree in Family Studies and Human Services in two years, became a father, and got married. However, the sudden loss of his own father, back surgery and divorce dealt severe blows to Mike, who was now on the cusp of the NFL. Suicidal thoughts and alcoholism introduced forceful darkness in his life. Mike's young daughter's words helped him claw his way back to life, leading to his ultimate decision to relinquish football and start a new purposeful mission, “We Living” and relinquished his football quest.

Today our guest is Blair Kooistra, born in Chicago but spent most of his childhood in Denver and Salt Lake City. Blair worked as a photojournalist for the Standard-Examiner in Ogden from the mid-1980s until about 1991. Blair had a great eye, and I still have one of his photos hanging on the wall in my home office. But what Blair's most well-known for are his photos of railroading in the United States, Great Britain and Australia. Blair is the 2015 recipient of the Fred A. and Jane R. Stindt Photography Award from the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society. The president of the Center for Railroad Photography & Art said of Blair's work, “Overall Kooistra's work is among the most significant railroad photography of the post-steam era.” Have a look at Blair's rail photography, aircraft photography and photojournalism here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/120320833@N02/sets/. Blair recalls stories of working as a photojournalist in the Beehive State, and we hope you get a kick out of the conversation as much as we did.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/themediascrum)

Miami Dolphins Tales From The DeepRaised in Oakland, California, Davone Bess starred at Skyline High School under the direction of Oakland area coaching legend, John Beam. Bess received a scholarship offer to Oregon State, however a post-graduation arrest led to the loss of his scholarship and more than a year in the Byron Boys Ranch Juvenile Facility. With help from Coach Beam, Bess overcame the odds and ultimately attended the University of Hawaii, where he would set school records with 293 receptions and 41 touchdowns in just three seasons. Despite his success at Hawaii, Bess went undrafted in 2008 and signed with the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent. Bess not only made the team, but finished the regular season with 54 receptions, second most in NFL history for an undrafted rookie wideout. In one of the most powerful Fish Tank episodes to date, Davone candidly shares the details of his arrest after high school, as well as the lessons he learned while incarcerated. He fondly recalls his days with the Miami Dolphins, including barbeques at Paul Soliai's house, and the camaraderie he shared with fellow wide receivers Ted Ginn, Jr. and Greg Camarillo. Davone is also extremely honest and vulnerable as he opens up about his post career struggles with depression.

Photo: A younger Alan Blueford, a Skyline High School student who was shot in the back by then-Oakland police officer Miguel Masso Interview with Jeralynn and Adam Blueford https://kpfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Alan-Blueford.mp3 jQuery(document).ready(function($) { var media = $('#audio-338843-88'); media.on('canplay', function (ev) { this.currentTime = 0; }); }); ThisIsLucyKang · “My heart was shattered to pieces”: Remembering Alan Blueford On May 6, 2012, then-Oakland police officer Miguel Masso shot and killed 18-year old Alan Blueford, a student at Skyline High School. Masso shot Alan in the back, as he was running away. Alan is survived by his parents, Jeralynn and Adam Blueford. The following is an edited excerpt from a longer interview with them: ______ Jeralynn: His smile would light up the room. It was something special about this kid, all the way around. And I get that all the time from every friend, every person that knew him, his conversation. And more than three or four of his friends would say that they have a hard time seeing me because they see him in me and that they would kind of get jealous because we had such a close bond and such a good relationship that they would want that with their mom. And that whenever he called me wherever, whatever he was doing, like you always showed up. He would say, wait a minute, I'm going to call my mom. I'm hungry. And you would come and bring him a burger. Or you would come and pick him up. And you know, just those kinds of things. It, one, solidified the love between us, that other people could see our love. And also it just magnifies the loss. So yeah, I miss that kid. Adam: I can say that Alan was wise beyond his age. Every time I cooked something or have something good to eat, I could tell if he liked it or not. And I don't cook all the time. So it's just something that we had between me and him. I could tell just the way he looked if he liked it or not, and he'll be ready to give me a big grin. He had a real great big smile. You know, I'll tease him a little and say how he like it or whatever. We'll go on from there. I spoke to Alan that night, about a half an hour or so before he was murdered. He was calling me. And I didn't know if he might've wanted me to come pick him up. I always got that in my mind. But he was telling me he was in Oakland. He's okay. He's waiting on a girl in a white Chrysler to pick up. He was there about to walk into the Booker's [liquor] store. I told him Oakland is a rough place, watch out, this and that. This was happening about a half an hour before that happened. So he called me and he was ready to, he's trying to get a ride home actually. He didn't make it. Jeralynn: When he died, I had a nervous breakdown. I was really bad. Like I couldn't stop crying, like days on days and days and weeks and months. I could never keep my focus. I could never go a day without crying. When I saw other mothers with their kids, I would just feel terrible because I didn't have my love. For a long time, I didn't want to even open my heart in that way because my heart was shattered to pieces. And I didn't feel like I could love. And that love hurt so bad that I didn't want… I just closed myself off. And then I went through a period of anger. And I did everything out of anger. “For a long time, I didn't want to even open my heart… because my heart was shattered to pieces.” When a tragedy like that happens to you, you think it's just you. Grief is very personal. And you feel like nobody will ever understand how you feel. But when you're hurt that deeply, it's a dark, dark place. And it's very difficult to live or even maneuver through the dark. And it's a really tough thing to do. Especially like my husband said, knowing how he was treated and the things that they did to him. And it wasn't, you know, the story they tell that…. It's not like the good guys and the bad guys. It's not like cowboys and Indians or anything like that. What it is, is because of the color of your skin that you're treated in that way. And for somebody [to] just look at a person and decide that they're not good or they're bad because of the color of their skin, it's awful. Nobody should be judged in that way. Nobody. I will not stop. I can't stop. I'll never stop until we get justice for Alan Blueford. ______ Jeralynn and Adam Blueford have both since been on the frontlines in the fight against police violence. Despite community outcry and a history of violent offenses by Officer Masso, Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley declined to press charges against the officers involved in Alan's death, as she has with every other case that has come before her in her tenure. Officer Masso is currently employed by the Hollister Police Department where he has also brutalized other community members, including an elderly man. The family is circulating a petition to fire him, linked below.  Links: The Alan Blueford Foundation The Alan Blueford Center for Justice Current petition to fire Hollister Police Officer Miguel Masso ______ This story is part of the series TAKEN FROM US: Remembering lives lost to police violence.
