Podcasts about state championships

Today on the podcast is Blake Reynolds!Blake just recently transferred to run at Grand Canyon University (GCU) in Arizona, after a successful freshman collegiate season at The University of New Mexico. Blake is an alum of Central Kitsap High School in Washington, a rival to my current high school, Seattle Prep.Blake holds PRs of: 1:55 (800m), 4:11 (1600m), 9:14 (3200m), 15:24 (5K XC).Blake and I chatted today about his early development in the sport of running, coming from a soccer background and being forced by his coaches and parents to specialize in the sport of running. In high school, Blake found early success, finishing 15th at the Washington State XC meet in the 3A classification, where he was projected to finish 45th going in.Blake followed this up with an incredibly successful track season, where he ran 9:14 for 3200m and 4:11 for 1600m, good enough to finish 5th at the State meet and become the 3rd-fastest sophomore 1600m runner in the nation at that time.Unfortunately, however, Blake's career took and unfortunate and career-altering turn. During the summer going into his junior year, Blake broke his ankle doing non-running-related activities. While he had a nice recovery, running 15:24 at Nike Portland XC in the fall, this comeback was short-lived. At the League Championships in XC his junior year, Blake re-injured that ankle, leaving him unable to walk, and sidelining him for the District Championships meet. Blake was healthy enough to run at the State Championships, where he had his breakout performance the year prior. That year, while he was projected to finish in the top three, Blake, in one of the lowest of his career, finished 24th in that race in a time of 16:36.6.While I would love to say there was a comeback, Blake was unable to recover his high school career. He had three more unsatisfactory seasons to close off his high school career, and was unable to break 4:20 for 1600m his senior year. Blake said he was never able to make peace with the disappointing end to his four years.Blake and I talk about what it was like being at rock bottom and in hindsight, what he would have done differently physically and mentally, invaluable advice that could help you in your career and rise to the top.We also discuss his freshman year at UNM, getting to run with some of the greatest collegiate athletes in our sport, like Habtom Samuel, and some exclusive physical and mental training techniques that Blake has utilized to increase his performance and build an optimistic outlook for his future.Overall, through Blake's experiences and his failures, Blake has adopted a “one step at a time” philosophy, learning the importance of focusing on the present moment, especially when navigating injuries or setbacks. From this, Blake has also learned why mental training is critical for great athletes looking to become elite.Blake understand that he is still developing and leans into the long game, something we can all adapt and apply to our own careers.I hope you enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout!Please consider leaving a follow and a five-star review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

BYRON – The Byron Tiger head football coach Jeff Boyer has been recently announced as the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) 2023-2024 Coach of the Year.“Coach Boyer's ability to inspire and develop our student-athletes, both on and off the field, has been nothing short of extraordinary,” states Byron CUSD athletic director Jeff Milburn. “It's a testament to his leadership and dedication to both his craft and our community.  I couldn't be prouder of him.”Boyer, who has led the Tiger football team since 2012, is no stranger to awards.  His teams have been represented in the IHSA State Championship Game four times.  His Tigers earned runner-up finishes in 2018 & 2019 along with two State Championships in 2021 & 2023.  Over that time, he has amassed 121 wins to only 27 losses, and his teams have qualified for the IHSA playoffs ten out of eleven seasons.    When asked about receiving the award, Boyer is quick to credit others.  “This award is truly a reflection of the amount of support that both I and our program consistently receive.  Without the hard work of our players and coaching staff, the ongoing support from our parents, district staff and community, and the willingness of my family to allow me to invest a great deal of my time in something I truly love, this simply wouldn't happen.”   Boyer also credits his high school coach, Everett Stine, and retired longtime Rochelle head coach Kevin Crandall, who he worked under prior to coming back to Byron High School, for a great deal of his program's success.  “These guys taught me a lot about what it takes to be a good head coach,” Boyer states.  “They represented themselves and their respective programs with nothing but class.”Boyer has this year's team poised to have another successful season.  The Tigers are currently 6-0 and ranked number one in the State.  They will finish up the last three games of their season at Winnebago on October 11, at Dixon on October 18, and at home against rival Stillman Valley on October 25.   “He instills values of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance in our students,” states Byron High School principal Andy Donaldson.  “The impact he's had on our students will last a lifetime.  Byron is fortunate to have him leading our program and our students.”Boyer is a 2000 Byron High School graduate and has been teaching mathematics for the district since 2008.  He is married to his wife of 16 years, Rae, and they have three children who attend Byron schools: Hudson, grade 7; Hunter, grade 3, and Charley, grade 2.Source: https://www.byron226.org/o/bhs/article/1814230
