I think we pretty much got it. So it looks like 20.
So Tyra here, he's the commissioner. So him and I came in a year after, but he was kind of the spear that led creating the football program. Between him and Mark Radabaugh and then Kevin Jenks over here, he's our president.
TJ. TJ as well, so he's our vice president.
Bobby, he does the finances. Chris is our technical guru and board member. Like I'm just a peon now. He doesn't have a trustee. Yeah, trustee, trustee, and then also trustee still? No, Sergeant at
Arms.
Sergeant at Arms. Yeah, he's Sergeant at Arms. So she runs the cheer program.
And Natasha here is kind of like our secretary, but they are going to be leaving after this year. So their kids are very busy. One's going to college playing lacrosse, and the other one's got a huge bright future ahead of them.
So they are going to be stepping away. So we're kind of going to be shifting around and everything. So I've talked to them about the twins. They've started coming to ETS.
I
know we've gotten a lot of other boys that have started to go.
I
believe he just said that you guys just went in there recently.
Yeah, a
couple
of years ago. Yeah, yeah. So my goal here is hopefully to start a partnership between the Junior Pacers program and ETS to where we're working with each other and really starting to get, you know, more kids in there, especially that's when we're working with each other.
And I think that's part of our program because I've seen a lot of kids from Berlin. I've seen a lot of just Olentangy kids in general. I've seen Big Walnut kids in there.
But I don't see too many Delaware kids. I mean, I know there are Delaware kids, but there's not as many. I've seen a lot of Olentangy kids in a lot of surrounding schools, but I would really like to try and get some kind of like, you know, traction here where you're based.
You know, so like that. So I just figured I'd bring you in and let you talk about ETS and what you guys provide there. And like I said, I've seen the results out of the twins already. I walked in the room the other day and I looked at Mason.
I
was like, damn, this kid, I need to get my ass in shape because I'm going
to
have to fight this kid eventually because like he's starting to get definition. And I'm like, man. Yeah. So like, yeah, so floor is yours.
I
appreciate it.
Yeah. Thank you guys for allowing me to come and chat and everything. Feel free to like bombard me with questions too, like coming off. So as you know, Mason, Peyton both come to ETS. Kind of give you a rundown of like what we do.
We're our target markets, eight to 18 years old. That's kind of like our bread and butter. We will take younger, but like I would say the majority of our kids are between like that middle school age of like sixth grade to eighth grade.
Right. And then we have some some high scores and then obviously our younger group. So we have two different groups, speed plus, which is like our eight to 11 and then our total performance group, which is our 12 to 18.
And it's honestly case by case basis. Right. So I was just talking to Paul here. We had a 10 year old in today that wrestled with the twins and Mike. He's a kid that is 10, but he would be up in our total performance group.
Right. You just super advanced. So it's not like everyone. Oh, just because you're 11 or just because you're 12, you're going to be in that class. That's just kind of our age range. Our speed plus group, our youngest group is really just building the foundational like principles that you need to like get into our older group.
Right. Like most of these kids, they don't know how to move their body. They don't really know how to run, jump like. And that's fine. Like they're eight to 11. Like we don't we have zero expectation of them to like be advanced enough to to be on their own personalized program.
So that's a 45 minute class one time a day. High energy. Obviously, the kids are eight to 11. So their attention spans are about five seconds. So you got to like keep it going. Keep it fun. Keep it active.
Where it seems like junior pacers would be would probably be that total performance. Like what? What's your age range? It's probably a good mix of both. Because
by the time you get to sixth grade,
you
got kids who have been playing for four years. Yeah. But there could also be first timers there. Okay. And we also get down to seven. Okay. Yeah. So it's probably a decent mix of both. Yeah.
And we'll take seven year old seven year olds like if they're mature enough to be in that group. Like our biggest thing is same thing with total performance like a younger kid is like the maturity of it. Right.
I can't have an 18 year old working out with a 10 year old that just like doesn't have the maturity to be around. Right. Or even a 12 year old. So that's like big for us. They don't have to be elite athletes.
Right. Like we're not looking just for elite athletes. We're trying to help literally anybody that's youth that is willing to put in the work. So I know we have like another Matthew Schrader. If you guys know his name, he was using Speed Plus.
So yeah, that's our Speed Plus group. Again, just building like the fundamentals, teaching them how to sprint, like proper mechanics. I know how I
can lead when he's out for you. I'm not
going to go away.
I'm
glad
you wanted to bring the wagon because I had it for you.
All
right.
So that's Speed Plus group. 45 minute class. Hard start, hard stop. Get them in, get them out. Make sure they're getting good enough work. Keep it fun for them. But obviously it's not recess, right? We're not there to just like run around and mess around.
It's like we're here to get work done. So our whole goal is that group, we're trying to put them up into total performance at some point. Like that's our whole goal. And then our total performance group is our 12 to 18.
That's where you're actually getting like an individualized program based off of like the evaluation that you go through. With our testing numbers on our technology. So we have Speed Gates, 4 -Stacks. So we test strength, lower body power, acceleration, max speed, change of direction.
And then as you get older, we'll get into like kind of like more advanced testing. That's going to help you like, hey, if we're upperclassmen.
So the way that class works is come in 15 minute to 20 minute warm up together. There's a theme for the day. So Monday, Tuesday, we go max velocity. Wednesday, Thursday is change the direction. And then Friday, Saturday is acceleration.
So everything is based off of like that. So like we're getting in mechanical drills, technique, like certain things that the kids probably don't know that it's max velocity. They get an idea that they're doing max velocity that way.
But like that I'm constantly writing up for the month of like, hey, we're focusing on this, right? That's going to help with max velocity. So everybody gets a piece of it, right? In that warm up, 15, 20 minutes.
And then everybody breaks off. They have their own folder, own specific workout based off of like their goals, what sport they're in, where they're at, like physically, mentally. Again, with like the twins, right? They're on the same program.
They can do everything. Or the Nash's, like I mix Nolan in there. So like, it's not like they're 12, 13, 11. Like they don't need super specific fancy things or like what people call a sport specific workout. It's like you're building the fundamentals.
You're building the foundation that when we get to a point that we're a little more advanced, then we can start kind of like tinkering with it and be like, hey, we can add this in. Right? So after the warm up, everybody has their own specific speed work.
So whether they're doing chain sprints, we're doing, we're timing their flies every week, right? So we can see, you know, hey, where they're at. Are they up? Are they down? Again, training is not linear. I tell all my athletes, like you are not going to run your fastest time every week.
And if you do, then I'm not doing my job in your strength program. Because like there's times that I want you to be down, right? When we're heavy on strength or, hey, we're getting closer to season. So we're going to start tapering you off and like work more speed, more power.
That's when I want you running your fastest right before season. Right? So we go into season, we're fresh. We're not heavy on the legs. We're not fatigued. Right? So there's like structure behind it. It's not just like, hey, we're going to do this, this and give it to a kid.
Like everything, the way I look at, if you sign up for a 12 month program, even the three month, the six month, I'm looking at it from the bigger perspective of like, where are we starting? Like, what is our goal at the end of the year?
And then I adjust as we go through it based off of like, hey, do we have an injury? You know, how are they responding to it? Do they need more? Do they need less? And then they do their speed work and then they go off and do their workout.
Obviously communication with my athletes is like the number one thing. I need to know how they feel. Like, what, make sure that they understand what they're doing in their workout. So they're not just going through the motions. Like if I have a kid doing a med ball rotational toss and he's just going like this, like I'm going to get on them and be like, if we're going through the motions, you're not going to get what is in front of you.
Like you're not getting the most out of the program. So like intent, like high output, like is key for getting it and then doing the movements proficiently. Right? The twins, like most of my kids probably aren't going to touch a barbell for two years.
They don't need to. There's totally different ways of loading proficiency of movements, making sure that like we're staying healthy because the best abilities availability. If they can be on the field, like we're good. Um, and at that young of an age, like you don't need that much to create an adaptation.
You just need proper fundamental movements. I mean, the Nash is them. Like they've been doing the same type of movements for however long they've been here, two months, but it seems different to them. It's just a different way that I load it or a different way that like, instead of a slowly centered down on the goblet squat, I'm doing the pause at the bottom.
It's like, kids are probably going to forget what they did three weeks ago. Right? So keeping it super foundational until we can get to a point to build them up when they're in high school. Um, to start like getting more advanced into box squats and front squats, split squats and all that with the barbell.
Um, but yeah, so it's kind of all encompassing of you're, you're getting your speed work, your agility, your strength, your power, um, rotational movement, core, uh, mobility. Right? Um, we're, we're not like, we're making sure our kids are moving properly.
Like our knees are good. The ankles are good. It starts with the feet and we're working it up the chain. Um, so we'll mix that into, into the workouts. Cause obviously if I tell Kay, you got 15 minutes mobility at the end, he's 12.
He's going to be like, what? He's like, I'm not, I'm not going to do it. Right? So just being smart about that. Um, but the goal of like ETS, like in general is like to give the kids a second home that they like look forward to going to every single day.
Like not, Hey, I have to go work out or Hey, I have to go do this. It's like, Hey dad, Hey mom, when, when can I go to ETS next? Right? I just had a parent today say, like I was asking her, her daughter's been in here for four weeks.
Um, she's like 11 years old and she goes, she goes, she's literally texting me. When am I going to ETS? Like, that's what I like to hear. That's what like makes me happy. That kids enjoy coming, talking to us, even if they're not like chatty, like we'll get it out of them.
Like I talk a ton as you'll probably know, but like I want, like I'm always on the kids. How was your weekend? How are we doing? Like, and it goes so much more outside of like just training and just getting better physically.
It's like the mental side of it, giving kids confidence. Um, that's why we only allow athletes and coaches back there. Like we don't want the parents looking over and going, Hey, what are you doing? And then they, the kids are like, Oh, like I got to perform.
It's like, no, come in here, fail, do hard things, be in an awkward position. So like when we get out on the field, we go play our sport. Like that is easy to us. Right. And you fall back on your, you trust your training that you've been doing and putting all this, like working for the off season or when you were in the season.
Um, so that's like, again, want that to be like their second home. Like they look forward to going to, they get away from their like stress in school, stress at home, whatever stress they have and come have fun.
Come talk to the coaches, um, get working and just spend that hour of like, like that's, that's what they're focused on. Right. Um, and it goes far beyond like, not every kid's going to be D1, D2, D3. Like most kids aren't going to play in college.
Right. Giving that opportunity that, Hey, we're going to make you a better athlete. I'm not guaranteeing you're going to college to play sports, but I will make you stronger. I will make you faster. And I'm going to build your confidence.
So like, this is something that they take with them for the rest of their lives. Like, that's how I, that's how I got into this business. My dad made me start training when I was in sixth grade and I fell in love with it.
And it like, not the biggest guy. So I always had to like put in the extra work. But now I've just, again, it's been with me throughout my life. And that's kind of what I want. Like giving the kids something that like, Hey, when they go to a gym, when they're 25 years old, they know what to do, or they have an idea of what to do.
Or even when they get to high school and they never trained, they're in sixth grade, right? They come to me and they have three years of training. They walk into a weight room and like the coach is like, that kid knows what he's doing.
Right. That kid has confidence. Like, and all the other kids are flying to him. Right. And then he's not intimidated by like, Oh, this kid's a hundred pounds more than me. And he's doing 225 on back squat. I have to do it.
That's how kids get injured. Like in high school, because everyone's on the same program. And it's just like, I'm not saying it's ego lifting, but like, kids don't know how to say like, I need to do less weight because they, they feel like they have to be at that level.
And it's like, Hey, if you've been in my gym for six months, 16 years, like you're going to know exactly what weight is good for you. And like what you need to do to like do it properly. Um, I digress.
I've definitely seen a lot of that ego lifting. Yeah. Uh, whether it be our, our high school or other high schools in general, like it's a lot of one reps, like just, just let me put the number on the board kind of thing.
Yeah. I mean, I know it's, it's, it's reps that really make you stronger. And at least in my opinion, I'm no, I'm no, uh, lifting guru, but I think we align on a lot of, a lot of stuff.
Like how you talk about how, how your conversations with them are outside of what you're actually doing other than instruction. You know, I try to do the same thing, especially in our warmups, you know, talk to them about how school went, I've talked to them about how their weekend went, because you'll, you'll get more out of them if they can feel, um, feel welcome there.
And it's not just, Hey, I'm clocking in to do my job. Yep. Yeah. I like the way you align on that.
Yeah. And that's, I would say 90 % of my conversations with kids are not about training at all. Like, yes, I want to make sure that they know what they're doing. They know what they're doing, right. If we're coaching technique, whatever that, that 20, 30 minutes we're on the turf and that, or we have to be super focused on mechanics on speed on all that.
Like, that's that time to like, Hey, you got to lock in. You got to be like, how you're like listening the most because this stuff is important. This is going to make you go faster. And then the lifting part, it's like, they pick it up pretty quick, right?
Making sure they're doing it right. But like those side conversations, right? Hey, what are we doing this weekend? Like watching the world cup. It's just like, cause kids like any athlete I've been in this industry for 17 years, like they don't care what you know, unless they know you care.
And it's like the truest statement ever, that they can trust you and what you're giving them. And like, they feel confident and comfortable around you. Like you can have great programming and great coaching, but all of that fails if you don't have a good culture.
And that is like the number one thing for me at ETS is like having a good culture that kids feel safe, confident, and like comfortable coming into every single day and want to be there. Cause I don't need 400 athletes in there that like don't want to be there.
Their parents are just pushing them there and like, they don't talk and they don't anything. Cause then I'm just babysitting and we're not getting anything out of the program. Like I truly want kids that like want to be there, even if they need a little push at first, like they're going to start loving it.
Like within the first week guarantee. Um, so. I have a couple questions. More one
personal and one to the club here. Um, so for like personal, like I got an eight year old, he's multi sport, right? Soccer, football, he does the basketball. Um, so how do you cater to kids like that with, because you said it's a, what, one year you got to go for it or?
Uh,
that's, that's our, like, I would say 90 % of our members are on a 12 long term. Some are three. So we do a three, a six and a 12, right? The way I look at it is like this, this should be a priority just as much as anything else.
Because it's going to, it's going to help you become a better athlete. The other big thing, like on top of that is like, I'm not trying to take away from anybody's sport. Right. Sport is number one. This is a supplement.
I mean, it's
the whole reason. I mean, getting there, right? Get better. Right. Yeah. And so you, you adjust it as needed, right? An eight year old doesn't need, right? A lot of people are like, I had a kid come up to me the other day and he goes, Hey, can I start doing more football specific things for a receiver?
I was like, there's no such thing, buddy. I was like, what you're doing is going to help you become a better receiver. But like, kids don't know that. Like some parents don't know that. Like, um, which is fine.
Like they're, it's not like the expectations there for them to know that, but that's from my education, my knowledge, my experience is like, everything you're doing is for your sport, whether you're soccer, whether you're football, whether you're baseball.
And then it's understanding with me of like, okay, like, what is your volume look like outside of this? Right. Cause I'm not trying to over like you. Like there's, there's a level of like too much is too much.
Right. Yeah. They're also, they're also kids. Yeah. Like I've had conversations with a couple of my kids that like, I found out that they were lifting at their school, coming to lift with me and then going to lift with dad.
I was like, and they were coming in five times a week. I was like, that is, that's, what's going to get you hurt. Right. And after I found that out, I started noticing like they were a little more like the tea every day.
Things were popping up on Mike. We have that. I was like, pick where you want to lift. Okay. And then you're always doing your speed work here cause you're not going to get it anywhere else. Yeah.
I believe in it. I mean, you know, when, uh, years ago when they had, um, he was in here. Um, I know what you're talking about, but I don't remember the name. Not, not D one, but it was in dollar red line red line.
Yeah. So I had my son, I, he just graduated high school, but I had him in red line. I think he was like, he was like around 12, 13 years old. And it was the best thing I've ever done because they, they just, it taught him.
And, and you know, he was a bigger boy. Right. And, uh, just the mechanics. And it's something that, you know, you know, I know, but somebody else teaching him, right. Mm -hmm. Was, was just night and day. Yeah.
And it, and it was awesome. So I, I, I believe in what you guys are doing.
I
think for any, any athlete, um, that wants to get better. Um, and, and if the, you know, the parents can afford it, then it's, man, go for it. Right. I mean, it's, it's going to be wonders.
It'll be, it'll be the best investment they make. Like, that's where we need to transition to. Yeah. Yeah.
So by the way, Paul already gave you a glowing review just to get you here for two months in a row.
So I think everyone here is sold on, you've got a great program and, um, that part, but I'm curious about the business aspect of it. So, sure. Yeah. Yeah. But so what, what are we looking at? What are we talking about?
How have you partnered with other organizations like us before? How does it work in pricing too? Like, of course, how do we help each other? Or what's that usually look like? I don't have any experience in this with a, with an organization.
So I'm not sure if anyone else does, or if you do with other organizations that you can share with us. Absolutely.
Great question. Um, so what's nice is you guys would be the first like association I've partnered with. Um, which is good because like I've had conversations with other ones and like, for me, it's a fit. But has ETS done it with other?
Yeah. Yeah.
So like, there's like different ways that like different partnerships different, like, so we can partner with like associations. Um, right. So like the way that would work with, with you guys is like, we would pick like, typically the standard is like, we'd give a 10 % discount to every single member that is, or every single person that's a part of the junior Pacers, they get 10 % for life off of, off of their membership, whether they're on a three or six or 12.
Um, that's just giving you an idea, right? We have school partnerships, right? Like where we're like the main strength and conditioning coaches. So like Delaware, I ever got rid of their strength coach and they were looking for one, like I could partner with their high school and, and be their, their strength guy and run all their strength work.
Um, or like Buckeye Valley or anything like that. So, and then like the high school would pay me pay, pay the business and then it would be off. And I would either go there myself or send one of my lead performance coaches or whoever it is.
Um, but from a partnership perspective, like for you guys, for junior Pacers, we could do like a 10 % discount. Right. And it's not like never make it mandatory. Right. Because again, we want kids that want to be there.
Yeah. Um, and then also to like, that like, hey, can, can we afford it? Can the parents afford it?
I think that's
why you don't see
as
many dollars for it.
Yeah. Yeah. Well, and, and we're interested in maybe financially helping out some of our students too, right? We, we may be looking at that as well. We, we don't know yet. But what is it, what does it cost for a normal, so you said three, six, nine, 12, but it's just time commitments or programs or whatever?
So,
uh, just month term. So the way we do that we do it is like everything is unlimited. So like whether you're on a three month, a six month or a 12 month, like you have unlimited access to my facility.
Okay. So it's like, whether you want to come in five times a week, I'm not going to lift you five times a week, but like, you want to be there five days. Like I'll probably put you on a three day program.
The other two days, one's going to probably be like metabolic day, like working conditioning. The other one's going to be what I call like a spa day, like roll out, feel good mobility. Um, and like you can come in whenever you want.
Like, I want my kids there. I want my athletes there. It's not like, even if you're on a two day program, like when coming four times a week and like do two spot days, like, yeah, by all means, like we want you in the environment.
We want to see you. It's not like, Hey, come do your two, three hours and get out of here. Um, yeah, every five spot days. Yeah. Um, so three, six and 12 for our total performance group, which is our upper tier.
We're getting individualized programming 12 month. Again, we're looking at it. Like that's my cell of like year round training. Um, again, everybody's in a different situation, uh, with schedules and all that. Uh, pricing on that is it's billed one 10 by weekly.
Okay. Um, flat rate. There's no signup fee, no like charges for having to cancel a class, right? You book through the app on your classes. Like you can come anytime, any day that there's a total performance class. We offer 28 throughout the week.
So like super flexible throughout the summer. Um, our schedule changes in the, in the school year, obviously we don't have any, um, we have one morning, but that's for like upperclassmen. And then, uh, it's like three to eight every other day, um, or every day.
So one 10 for the 12, um, billed biweekly. So over the course of the years, 26 payments, um, I think it comes out to like 26, 28, 40 or 26, 80 or something like that. Um, the three month goes up to 140.
Um,
or no, sorry. Six month goes to 140, um, billed biweekly. And then the three month is 165, billed biweekly. So the less commitment, obviously the, the more you're paying, um, So the nine month is one month? No, there's no, no nine month.
Just the three is six and 12. Um, the three and six will roll into a month, a month after with that same cost structure. Um, but we always reach out about 40, 40, 45 days in advance, like letting you guys know.
So it's not just like three months is gone. You thought your membership ended and then you're paying for another month. Um, we'll always reach out and say, Hey, is this something you guys want to continue doing? Um, and there's an app and everything.
Yeah. There's an app as the gym master member app, um, where you schedule all your classes. You can like control your account. If you need to switch your billing or anything like that. Um, and then like, if I ever send updates to like the mass, like, Hey, we're closed due to weather, or like, Hey, we're closed for the fourth or whatever it may be.
Um, so yeah, one 10 for the 12, one 40 for the six, and then one 65 for the query. And then our total or our speed plus or younger group for the 12, it's 65 biweekly 75 for six months.
And then three months is all, all, everything's built by the group. What was a great point there? Age eight to 11 is like our general standard. Um, and then 12 to 18 for our total performance. Um, again, case by case basis, right?
Like if we get a kid that's a guy that 10 year old in today, that is not going to be speed plus, he's going to go straight up to total performance. Okay. We're just going to adjust this programming where he's 10 years old.
He doesn't need to be doing anything
crazy. I don't know if Aiden plays football. Aiden or well. He said just, uh, he's wrestling. He's one hell of a wrestler. He could though. He plays for,
he wrestles for CP.
So yeah, that's what he was. He's a monster. Does he live in town? Jay lives in Delaware. Yeah. Um. I'll reach out to dad cause I'm sure that he's at the wrestling camp with the twins around right now.
Uh, 12 months.
So six and three goes to the month a month, right? If you want to continue or if like, Hey, you want to bump up to a 12 or bump up to a six or wherever you're at. Um, that's just a conversation we have.
We send you a new membership agreement, everything. Um, the 12 is auto renew to a 12. Okay. So same thing. We'll reach out like 45 days before you have 30 days to make that like 30 day notice to make that decision of like, Hey, we're going to continue and just rolls right into a 12.
Or it can be something where it's like, Hey, we're, we got to go to the three month. Most kids that are on 12 are just going to keep doing 12. It's just like, they're going to see that you're going to see the most benefit out of the year.
If I have a year of training, right? You're going to see this much in three months. If anything, six months, maybe a little more. You give me a full year. It's, it's going to be 90 day. Cause you could probably plan more ahead.
You
could focus on more ahead. Like, I mean the first, like you just, whether you're my age, their age, like, especially their age, it's like, it's so foundational that like you're, you're probably see a benefit cause they've never done anything like that.
But like three months goes like this. It's like, you're going to probably run through three phases. Cause I run like three to four week phases with that age is like three week phases. So every three weeks they're getting a new program.
Right. But they're building off of like the last time. But you give me 12, 12 months. It's like, now I can cook. Right. Like now I can go. Then you give me six years, eight years. Like the goal of every kid that walks in my facility is like, whether you're eight years old, 12 years old, 15 years old is to see you till you're 18.
Cause that gives me the biggest window to understand one, create a relationship with you, understand how your body works, like what you adapt to, what you need. Um,
and then it gives me like plenty of time to adjust and like, and just create something. Um, obviously that's the goal. I'm not going to say that it's going to happen for every single athlete that walks in. But like, like I prompt, I, there hasn't been a kid that has come in that has just left.
Like we give a 72 hour grace period of like you, your first day, if you don't like it, you have 72 hours to get out there. I haven't had a single kid do that. And I don't expect to.
Yeah. Cause like, it may seem intimidating for them at first, but like when you truly get it, like you're on your own plan, you're going on your own pace. Like, and we're not throwing something at you that you can't handle.
Right. Yeah. It's going to be tough. Yeah. Like we're going to struggle at times, but like when you get to see, Oh my gosh, like I started week one at 10 pounds. I'm up to 25 pounds. Like it doesn't seem like a lot, but for a kid, like that's, that's awesome.
Right. And then by the end of six weeks, you're like, man, I'm, I'm up to 35. I like, it goes like this. If you're training correctly, if the plan is in place, you're getting pushed hard enough. Like, yeah, we push our kids, but like, it is not bootcamp.
Like we're not bodybuilders. We're moving like athletes. Like you're going to get stronger. You're going to get faster. Um, you're going to see results and you're going to like, enjoy the process of doing it. Like when an athlete and a person can enjoy the actual process of like coming in, putting in the work and then getting the results instead of just like expecting the results.
Like there's no instant gratification in what I do, like, or in training by any means. It's not going to happen. Um, but like kids enjoy it. Right. We have all this cool technology that like one, the parents have access to.
Right. So they can track and we can give them tangible data to be like, Hey, we are getting stronger. We are getting faster. Look at the numbers. It's, it's right here in front of us. Um, again, training is not linear.
You're not going to be your fastest every week. Right. And we have to constantly talk kids off the ledge of like, dude, you're fine. Like you're right where you need to be. Um, you're not going to jump your highest.
It's not going to pull your, your strongest. Um, but as long as we're slowly progressing to where we need to be, like, that's what we want to see. And kids get to see it every week. They're like, they're competing against themselves, against other athletes, like constantly running on the gates.
Um, get to see it in their numbers, like in their jumps, like everything. So it's like, it's not just come in. I do this work out. I'm not doing it. Like it's, there's so much more that we get to them than what meets the eye.
Seven days. We're open six days. The only day that we're closed is Sunday.
Um,
Saturdays, eight, eight, nine or 12 performance and our 10 AM is our speed plus group. Sorry. I'm so
we're, we're about to get started next Monday and we'll do, we'll do mostly, you know, like you say, uh, conditioning workouts for the next two weeks or so. Yeah.
I mean, I'll, I'll talk to the rest of the guys here, but I think it could be a good opportunity if you guys have an opportunity to come out and they just work through a quick workout with the kids, uh, in a group setting.
It's probably going to be like 60 or 70 kids, uh, half hour, something like that, just to get them excited, get them, get them to know you, your personality. And then maybe you can have the parents there at the end and you can pass out business card or something like that.
Yeah.
So that was going to be, uh, TJ, I think your question kind of like, like outside of the like the 10%, like what else can we do? It's like, this is something like the partnership goes far beyond like, Hey, here's a 10 % discount.
Send out a mass email to your, to your members. Like that goes far beyond that. It's like, we can implement like a warmup routine for you guys to where like, I teach the coaches or ever coaching the team.
And it's like, Hey, this is what we're going to do before our games. This is what we're going to do before our practice. So like we have education structure around it. Right. Same thing. Like you have an event where you have 70 kids, a hundred kids that like, you need me to come there.
And like, again, meet everybody, put a face to it. Like go through a warmup, go through like a conditioning piece, whatever it is, whether it's 30 minutes, an hour, two hours, like that's completely something that we can do.
Um, again, it goes, yeah, I think it would help
the both of us. Cause I, I mean, just, just giving them the information and a 10 % discount that wouldn't do what you're asking for. Yeah. I think if the, every athlete from us that goes to you is going to benefit us, you know, so the more we can get out there and, and like Paul or Chris said, we might be able to help them out, especially some of the kids that, that aren't as financially up there.
But I think that would help out if they get to see, cause we deal with the same thing where every year it's one, two, three kids that don't even want to come out of the college. Right. Because they're scared of football.
They're scared of young men. They're scared of their friends, whatever the case may be. And we're talking to them off the ledge and bringing them in and John, Hey, it's just a bunch of guys out here having fun and we're just playing ball.
Yeah.
You know, so we deal with that a lot and I, I'm sure you would, would probably have that same situation where they're like, Oh man, I'm scared of training. Like it's, it's going to be intense, but really like, I think you're probably just like one of us, you know, you, you want to, you want these kids to have the best opportunity they can.
And it's just a, it's just a level up for them,
you
know? And, and I would never want to send you a kid that didn't want to get better because I understand how that feels to, to have to drag kids along
and
there's no point in them coming to you because that would just drag down the rest of the kids that are out there.
You
know, but any kid who is willing to get better, I think that's an excellent opportunity for them. Yeah. I'd love to do that for you guys. Yeah. And just for my own personal experience.
So
I know you're here towards wrestling and football. So I know you're shaking your head over there. You can do cheerleaders too.
What do you
got for the ladies?
And everybody's like cheerleaders are like gymnastics and that, they're athletes. Yeah. So obviously we're not doing competitive cheer.
Yeah.
We're doing, we're preparing them for football. Just like these guys are for football.
So the parent was to come in and say, well, I have a cheerleader. What could you do for my child to help them do better?
Same
thing. Yeah.
Same thing. Like, exactly. Exactly. I would
put them through. I have, I just had a class at five. We have a dancer that's in there, competitive dance. Like that's literally all she does. Right. She goes through this same warmup, same speed work, like, and then similar workouts.
Right. Like, especially at that age, like you just need a foundation. Right. Um, so like whether it's cheer, I have kids that don't even play sports. They literally play like mountain, they bike and they do rock climbing and, and like pickleball.
Like, yeah, that's a sport, but like nothing competitive. Right. Um, yeah, go. I have golf's a sport. I like golf. I like golf. I
like
golf. You're gonna be strong. Um, but like, so like there is a wide range of, I would say my number one sport I have in the facility is soccer right now. Yeah.
Um,
out of everything. I
mean,
it's, it's, it's crazy.
My
son's big in soccer. Yeah. Yeah. Soccer is huge. Um, but like, again, kind of going back to like sports specific, it's like, it's that we're, we're, everyone's an athlete. We're all athletes. We just don't know it. Like we're not competitive athletes, right?
We're not training sports, but we can all move like an athlete. Like that's why I like, even if I was training, like any of you guys, like we would train, like I trained my athletes because like, that's going to help you become a better mover, feel better.
Like this isn't about like lifting weights and getting huge muscles and like, yeah, you're going to grow your muscles a hundred percent, but like, you're going to get a really solid foundation. You're going to get a great base.
You're going to be mobile, flexible, like reactive speed, like strength, like everything. It's like, we covered like every aspect of it. Um, and then we just, again, adjust accordingly. Like if we're in cheer, it's like, okay. If we're a base in cheer to me, that's an overhead athlete.
That would be like a baseball player. So like, I'm probably not going to do much overhead workouts because it's going to put our shoulders at this. Right. Most people don't think about that, but like I'm holding the girl up.
Right. And my shoulders are like, I have no mobility in them. It's like, I'm not going to be able to do that. Right. Like we'll, we'll stabilize the shoulder. We'll strengthen the shoulder. Like we'll do all that. Um, but that's kind of how I look at it.
Like when I'm going through, it's like, that's why we asked like, what sports do you play? Like when are you in season for that sport? Like, okay, we're moving into an overhead season with basketball. It's like, okay. And then we would just adjust the programming from when we play football.
Cause they work out differently in certain ways, but at the, when you get down to the root of it, it's, it's based in the same. So
you kind of like, when they come in, you do an interview process with them basically. Yeah. It's like,
you know
them. Yeah. It's like, not like an interview, but you get to know them and you're like, okay, so you're doing, are you a base? Are you a front? Are you a back? Are you a flyer? Are you whatever?
And obviously if you're a flyer, you're going to work on their core
and
their, their legs swing. Okay.
Yeah. And that's like all questions. Like I'm not, yeah, I'm not super educated on every single sport that comes in. Like I got cricket players in there.
I
have zero idea anything about cricket. So like, that's a conversation I'll have with them outside, like during the training session, like, tell me about cricket, explain to me, like what you do, like how you play. Cause like, I'm interested in it.
If you're one of my athletes, like I want to know, so I can better, like put you a better plan in place and help you become a better cricket player. Um, so yeah, it's like that the eval process, it's a free eval.
Like we don't charge for the eval. Like you come in, I want you to see the facility, meet the coaches, figure out if it's a good fit. Cause if it's not a good fit, like there's no point.
Well, like, so when you do meet the child
and
you do ask them, you like probably break down then by season. Cause we have kids that like spring, fall
and
win it. So if we have a child that's cheering or playing football and wrestling, you would try to gear more toward the sport that they're in at that moment. Right. Yeah,
exactly. And if they're in season, like the training is completely different than off season. Like in off season training is like, you can be fatigued. You can like have a little more like strength focused workouts. Like be like sore.
Right. In season. It's like, I only really need to see you twice a week, three times at most. And it's like, we're just making sure that we're not stopping training. Cause there's residual effect that every, everything in, in my industry, right?
Speed is five to seven days. If you don't touch a max velocity or mass exposure in five to seven days, you're going to lose what you've gained. That's how quick it goes. So like when I tell people like training year round, like even when I have kids, like go to vacation for a week, I'm like, you have to sprint at least once for me.
Because when you come back, I guarantee you'll see it in your numbers if you don't. Do you
educate them only in motion and exercises or do you also talk about kind of like their diet too?
Yeah. So like nutrition education is like, I think huge for my industry. I'm not a registered dietitian. So I never give anybody a plan. Right. Right. But like, Hey, what should I be eating the night before a game?
When should I be eating before game? An hour before, four hours before, what should that look like? Right. Should I be eating protein, fats, carbs, um, for our older kids? Like what supplement should I be taking? Um, everything is suggestion though.
I'm never pushing on like, this is what you need to do. Um, this is what I've seen worked and this is what research has said. That's very good for this. Um,
again, with kids like middle school, it's like, just eat, just like, eat and try to eat somewhat healthy, but like you can, they can get away with a lot of stuff. Right. Um, but like my biggest thing is like, if you, before you come in for a workout, like you have to have food in your system.
I've had like one specific kid that has come in twice and he hasn't eaten. He's at a 4 p .m. class, hasn't eaten all day and he's almost passed out twice. And I'm like, it can't, you like the output that I need you to have, like, you're not going to get anything out of your workout if you don't have fuel on your body.
Um, so just helping them understand that. It doesn't have to be a massive meal, but it's like, we need something. Parents don't understand. Yeah. Yeah. Right.
Cause I mean, yeah, you're talking to middle school or you're talking to my, yeah, they're not a nine year old. Yeah. Yeah. He's not going to know. No. Yeah. I'm going to let him know like, dude, you need to eat.
Yeah.
But it like, yeah, I totally get it. And that's it. I had a conversation with the parent today. Um, cause their kid is, um, on Adderall, right. ADHD. And she's like, Hey, like, I just, he doesn't have an appetite.
So it's like, we went through a game plan of like, all right, this is, and I'm talking to the kid. Like my whole conversation is towards the kid. Like the parent is there. Like, cause that's the piggy bank, right?
Like, yes, I want them to feel comfortable. And like, but like my relationship is with the kid. Yes. I'm gonna have a relationship with the parent, but I want them to understand that. Like I care about them and like, like everything I'm doing is for them.
So is that where like the app comes into play? You guys are communicating with child, you're communicating with exercises, you're communicating what they, so the app, so the app
is strictly for like booking classes, all that. Like my, my communication is like, like I have upperclassmen that have my number, my personal number. So like, if they need stuff, like they can reach out or my college kids or my pro guys, like they like have full access.
Not saying I limit that to anybody, but like a sixth grader doesn't really need my phone number. Like that's a conversation that like, Hey, I'll probably have more of a relationship with the parent of like, Hey, I'm seeing this from my son.
Can you, because when you're hearing it from maybe me instead of your mom of like, you need to eat and you're hearing it from me of like, Hey, we need to eat. Like just try to eat something like little yogurt pouch before you come in.
Just see how that feels. Like next time you work out. It's like, I had that happen the other day and they're like, Oh yeah, I feel a lot better. I was like, okay, easy. Like he's texting me about the boys.
So pain, he left this folder out one day and goes, he's on. Yeah. Like, and I hope kids accountable. This isn't like come in and make my, make the facility a mess. Cause like that facility is your facility.
So when you come in the way it looks like should be the way you should need it better than like, yeah. Peyton had his folder out and like super simple. He just left this folder out, forgot to put in his thing, took pictures.
And I said, this is going to cost him. He came in and I made him do a bike sprints. Right.
Like, yeah,
I've had kids leave like weights on the rack. It's like, I'll take a picture, send it to their parents or send it to them. If I have their number, I said, this is going to cost you. And then they come in and then they pay for it.
But it's just like, it's, it's not me like getting on them. It's just like just accountability of like, leave it better than what you found. Yeah. Right. Like,
well, we just had our parent meeting. So yeah,
all
my parents understand that if your cheerleader comes with gum or candy in their mouth, they're running a lap around our garden. Yeah.
So you
have to take responsibility for that.
I communicate with him, like, especially if like, let's say, you know, like we're, the twins have a very busy week this week, you know, and I said, hey, you need to make sure that you're telling your coaches that I'm going to have a busy week this week, you know, because I've got football and then I got to come to ETS and then I got, you know, wrestling camp, you know, for four days, you know, so they cater and they kind of move things around to like, to the boys.
So like, right now we were moving out of baseball season and we're moving into football season. So their workouts have been primarily, he knows that they're getting a lot of their conditioning at football. So he's been kind of making their workouts to benefit them because right now they don't need to run up and down stairs or whatever.
But, you know, so he, so that's one thing that I've really liked about it. And I mean, you guys have met my kids. You guys have been around my kids a long time. You know, Mason's kind of like the one that is like very focused.
He, he, he wants this, like he's been begging to go to a gym for a long time. And I'm like, well, then we have to make sure that we're going to the right place for you. Peyton, on the other hand, is very much like reserved.
He's like, I don't want to maybe do this kind of, sort of like, do I really want to? But the other day Peyton had, he has swimmers here from, you know, which happens in the summer. He was really disappointed that he couldn't go to ETS that day.
Like he was really, he's like, I'm going to be a day behind. You know, like I, I really want to get my workout in this week, you know, but like, I mean, but his ears hit. I was like, do you need to stay down?
So I made the parent decision of like, and that was Peyton. Like Peyton doesn't ever want to like go somewhere. You know what I'm saying? He just like wants to sit there and just play video games with his friends or go out and hang out.
You know, he, he hasn't pushed himself the way that Mason has. But whenever I started seeing that Peyton was just like, I want to do this. Like I want to go. Like it showed me that they're doing something right because Mason's always going to be invested because Mason is just that competitive.
But Peyton, on the other hand, has just never been that competitive. And now, I mean, I don't know if you guys like Peyton has, you saw a scrape today. Yeah. Yeah. He's all scraped up. He had, he had a scooter.
I mean, his whole leg right here is all scraped up. And he was like, I'm still going to ETS. He said, I'm still going. I don't care if I missed anything else. I'm still going to ETS today. And I was like, all right, dude.
Like, that's fine. Like, you're not going to miss. I promise. So for me as a parent, like for the price. Now I got a discount because we started with them whenever they started. And also there's a sibling discount.
For me, I pay $176 every two weeks for the Twins to go.
For me, that's a small price to pay for already there. They've been in it since June 1st. And I've already seen a massive change in the Twins. Just there. I mean, Mason started hitting home runs on the baseball field.
Peyton started really driving the ball to the fence, you know. Their quickness on the base path. Just, I've gotten multiple emails from Coach Flint about their performance at football conditioning and everything that they're doing and all the hard work that he's seen in that.
They're just their determination. And it's something that I, as a coach, has never been able to provide my kids. Because I've always been dad coach. Now I'm putting them in front of somebody else that has made them accountable.
Like, they've been completely different kids on my baseball team. They have been.
You know, because I am dad. I'm the head coach. So kids feel like they can get away with a little bit more. But we also started holding our kids more accountable this year because they're getting to that age.
They're being held accountable there. They're being held accountable everywhere. And I think that that has helped them progress tremendously. Yeah. So I
don't doubt the performance, right? Yeah. But I did want to circle back on the pricing and just reconfirm, right? So you did say $110 a week. Was it $12? By week. By week, then. It says $220. By week, right?
Without the discount.
So you're paying $110 every two weeks. Okay. So it's half of the list. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought you said $110 a week and then you billed by week. No, no, no, no,
no.
So it's $110 biweekly.
Okay. $176 that you're talking about is for both. For both of them. But you're getting a different discount. Yeah. Okay. So the numbers are a little bit better than when I was originally because I'm looking at like over 5 ,000.
Yeah,
yeah, yeah.
Yeah. I don't think we'll have a single child sign up outside of any one of the kids that are in this room. Yeah. Which still, by the way, I think, I mean the 10 % is generous, but it's still going to be a stretch for some of our athletes.
Mm -hmm. So, and I don't even know that I'd be willing to push on you and try and ask for 25 because even at 25, I don't, it's going to be a stretch for a lot of our athletes.
And that's going to be unfortunate. But your website talks about team training.
Mm -hmm.
Is there something there that we could be looking at as far as team training goes that's a little bit different than, not saying we wouldn't promote the individual pricing that we've been talking about already for them, but is there also something different?
I don't know what team training or combine price is. Yeah,
so we would just, we would, it would be like a, basically an hour session for like a certain amount of kids that are in there, right? So like, with us being a new gym, we just have to figure out the schedule of it.
But the way we would basically fill, the more kids you have, the less you're paying. So I don't have the numbers exactly in front of me. Um, but like, there's a threshold of like 14 to eight, 14 to 20 athletes.
You're paying like, let's say $22 per kit per session, right? Whether you're doing one session a week, two sessions a week. And then over the course of how many sessions do you want to get? Or like, we're going over three months, six months, a year.
Um, and then we would block off an hour or we're going two times a week, two hours out of that week and be like, Hey, we're going to go Monday at 3 PM and Thursday at 6 PM. Right.
And then we'd have the team come there and then you guys would pay that freight to, to me for those kids.
Or have something, what I'm thinking, what I'm hearing is like, if we did something in the off season where we got enough students to sign up for it and you did conditioning once or twice a week on the off season as well, that could be a program that we could burn.
Yeah. Like
everything is like, we can, I'm, I'm all yours when it comes to that. Cause like at the end of the day, like I'm trying to help. Right. Like
any, and that might be something that's more realistic than that we've, because the, even at, even at 2 ,500 a year, that's 10 times more than what we charge our students program already. So it's mighty ambitious for us to think that we might be able to supplement some other costs.
Yeah. And it's individual. Yeah. Maybe we do something like this where we can do something off season. We've got leftover funds in a year. We can look at, well, Hey, let's see how many kids can, um, sign up for it.
And then we can either cover all the costs or with the funds that we have, we can cover half of it. And then they just have to cover the other half. Like those kinds of things that we can do off season training or something like that.
Yeah.
I think that's a, that's definitely an option. Um, again, like my expectation is like, how many members you have? Like a thousand? Uh, no. And junior cases.
Probably, probably a
hundred or fifty.
Okay. A hundred and fifty. Right. Like it changes per year. Yeah.
A
couple of years ago. Even if you've got like, I don't know how many, a hundred and fifty of those, like even know we're around, maybe some through like, my thing is like creating like the opportunity there, whether or not they sign up, whether we have zero out of 150, it doesn't matter.
Just giving that opportunity because Hey, maybe in a year, maybe in two years, like this is something that they can do. Yeah. They can financially. Um, or like, Hey, maybe no one wants to sign up because the price seems too steep now.
And then they, we do a team training aspect or I come to the conditioning thing and they're like, Oh, okay. Maybe like, I'll look into this. They come in for their free eval. They see the spot. Talk to Paul, talk to somebody that's a member and be like, all right, like, Hey, we're going to pull the trigger.
And then they're going to be like, this is the best thing I did. Right. It's just creating an exposure of like, Hey, we're here. This is what we offer. Like, this is what we can do. If you want to get the
most kids right there. Yeah. More of a group effort. And then from there, you know, once they see the, you know, the facility and, and what they do and, and how fun it can be. Right. Um, I think, um, you know, you'll, you'll branch off of that for sure.
Right. Yeah. How many
can your facility hold at one time?
Um, even a big ground that way we have a little bit of space.
I would say like, depending if like you, if it was only like one group, I would say like anywhere from my, probably get in like 40, but like that there would have to be like no one else. There's no teams that are bigger than that.
Like our biggest team might be 35. Okay. Yeah. So like 35 would like, we have classes of like total performance that are like 20. Yeah.
Um,
where like, I got 15 kids running chains, running sprints. I got another five in the weight room and then we're going to like, obviously a team aspect, it's different because you're, everyone's going to be on the same thing.
Right. And then we, we would just circuit it or do something of like, Hey, everyone's starting on speed. We got like a bunch of room in the back, like, for like, we can work out outside if we need to, like, as far as like warming up.
So we have more space and then like, Hey, we're going to send, we'll start everybody off here with some speed work. Right. We'll break it up into groups. Like that's typically how train team training works. It's not like I got 35 kids doing bench press.
Right. Of course. Yeah.
Um,
I would love to come check out the facility. Yeah.
You
set up a, like a, a day. Any, any, my door is always open. The best time to come is like between 12 and three. That's like when I have a break. Um, just so see the facility, hang out, talk out.
Um, I'm done with it. Yeah. Like any, any, like on a Saturday,
maybe
we're thinking, so we, you got off one day. Yeah. I'm going to take next Monday off so I can go out to the Hays camp. At least come out and see the facility. It ends at noon. So I might come roll up there.
Yeah. Shortly after that. Yeah. Um, but yeah, no, what were you saying? Yeah, no, just come out and toward the facility. Like, I mean, I got down to go back again. Yeah.
I know. That's a goal. Give me another 4 ,000 square feet. Yeah.
So I know this is a little off subject in that. So I know that we're trying to do a partnership. So where we can get kids to come into your program. So do you, cause we're a 5 ,000 and 3 ,000, do you do sponsorships?
Do you, so for, do you donate to programs like us? And that would put you into our
program as a sponsor
and
you'll promote your
program and all that? Yeah.
Yeah. And
that's not really my place right now to ask them. No, no, no.
I'm
just curious.
No, 100%. Yeah. We do partnerships or sponsorships. Um, the details of it, I have to get with my HQ team and just make sure like, like, but like, this isn't a one, I don't want you guys to think this is a one way street.
Like, Hey, help me out. Like, I want to help you guys out with your athletes. Like, however, so whether it's looking down the sponsorship realm or like coming out and doing like, help out with like, even like cheer team.
Right. Want me to implement like a warmup for you guys to do before you guys go. Um, like everything's on the table. Like, there's no, I don't think there's like a no to anything. As long as it like fits for both of us and it works and we're in accordance with it.
Like, we
can do it. But yeah, sponsorship.
They
have a lot of coaches too. Yeah. That's, I mean, and that's what I'm saying is like,
cause I can't really tall guys always there.
I
can't remember his name. Young, very tall. Andrew. Andrew. I believe that's him. I, I, one of the twins talks about him all the time. Like all the time. Like, I guess he just like, he, he really intuitive with a lot of the younger kids.
He kind of jokes around with them, gets them kind of like amped up for the day kind of thing. Or are you
talking about my coach, Aaron? Aaron. Aaron. Okay.
Yeah. So, I mean, they, they, they have a lot of, they have a lot of resources there. They have a lot of coaching. So, you know, I mean, I, I, I, I, I've seen it. Ultimately, everybody's here. Yeah.
Obviously you're trying to
get kids to be active and, and healthier and into a program. And if they're more involved in a sport or something new with a program or the school, they're less likely to get in trouble. And they're going to grow.
They're going to be more involved in their community. And ultimately we're all here for the same reason. I mean, like we're all volunteers here. We're all here for our kids. Yeah. And we want everything, not just for our kids.
We want it for everyone's kids. And if you talk to, and I know it's just cheerleading, but if you talk to a parent and they basically would do anything to make their kid better as not just an athlete, but a person.
So you're feeding into both of those. Yeah. So that's the only reason why I was asking.
Yeah. No, 100%. Love it. There's some people working with. Thank you. I appreciate it. Here's a sponsorship board. Oh, perfect.
And it's got our tax ID number on there and everything.
Okay.
Yeah. I mean, step one is go see the facility and just go on a quick tour and
yeah. And I won't lie, TJ. Also, him meeting you,
like I think it's a good thing that we should probably try to push up the chain as well because, you know, they're willing to work with our younger athletes. Yeah. But what about our older athletes as well? Yeah.
I mean, you know, one thing I will say is like Peyton has setters. I mean, it's something that growing boys and growing children, you know, have that. I communicated that with them and so they started showing Peyton some extra stretches that he could do.
And I'm saying within like three weeks, Peyton was feeling a lot better.
He
like, cause I bought those heel cups and everything. We were icing every single night. Just nothing was kind of helping him out. And then they started teaching him how to stretch properly, how to, you know, what to do to really, you know, help out that area.
Within three weeks, he was feeling a lot better. He hasn't complained once about it. I mean, I just. And I knew we're at the price of the mission. We had seven kids at Severs. I had both my quarterbacks at Severs.
Yeah. Almost every kid there. Yeah. So like, so the communication is there and that's, um, and that's one thing that I really liked, you know, like I've been able to say, Hey, you know, this is kind of like what the twins have going on and okay.
Yeah. No problem. Like it's always been, you know, like what's best for them, you know, and how can we help them in every aspect of their life. And that's what I really liked. Um,
I think when it comes to like Delaware city schools, um, that's going to be probably more of you to approach them and say, Hey, listen, I got, I got this plan. Right. And, uh, and you know, get in front of the AD, get in front of the middle, middle school AD.
Let's get a new one first. And, uh, what's that? Let's get a new one first. Well, I would love that. Yeah. The middle school one's awesome. I
mean,
I would take, yeah, I would take K. I would learn the whole thing, but anyways, but, but that, that's how that would start. Right. Me or, or you, anybody else, but if you approach Delaware city and say, Hey, listen, I have an opportunity.
I got it. I got a plan and, and it could help your, um, you know, your student athletes, right? Student athlete, you know, say that first. And you know, can we talk?
Yeah.
And you know, you never know. I mean, I'm sure like, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know for a fact, but all and Angie, they might have some kind of partnership with something like that. They start lifting.
But then again, their weight room's like a freaking college weight room.
That's the issue.
But we have kids. Like I have a, I have multiple Berlin kids. Um, like one of them is like in the midst of football workouts, like he works out with the team, which like I told him, I'm like, go work out with your team.
Like where do I take, come do your speed work. So he'll go lift with his team and he comes up, he does the speed work with me. Yeah. And like, I had a meeting with Dave,
uh,
the head coach at Hayes, um, for two hours, like a couple of weeks ago, came into it cause I'm training one of his kids, um, on the baseball team. And he's like, like, yeah, and so like we had two hour conversation.
Yeah. And he sent out a huge email to all the athletes' parents and like, and like, maybe even coach Monty would be the first go
to. Yeah.
I
can get you a big contact. And now you climb up the ladder from
there.
I
think that's a great idea. I mean, I could put you guys in contact with each other, but dude, I'm telling you every other surrounding area starts lifting two years before we do it. Well, every bit of two years.
Yeah.
And it's like, I would say like we were talking about like the majority of like, I only have a few Hayes kids, if any, like everybody else is Berlin, Buckeye Valley, um,
Liberty, regular, like the OG old in Tangier, I have like Jerome kids. Um, I got kids, I got people coming down from Marion, um, son, Alton Sunbury. Um, so like, yeah, big walnut, like, so like my thing is like, we're in Delaware.
Like how do we, yeah. And I know, I know cost is the thing and it's like, I get it. And I'm never like, Hey, this isn't, this isn't that expensive because everybody's in different situations.
I feel like
Delaware people have tunnels as you do.
Yeah. And it's like, it's like, like, like anything that's great in the city is like, they just fucking look right. They just need their eyes open to
it. Like we had a bunch of their eyes open to it. They might be okay with it. Like we had a bunch
of the football boys that were in eighth grade last year going to be freshmen this year, came in for their evals and stuff. And it's like, they're so dead set on the only kid that's going to come in is Dom, which you guys probably know Dom Kenny.
Yeah. Um, because we have a good relationship, but it's like, I had like Gunner in there and I had Gage and like, Gage really wanted to do it. But like, everybody thinks it's like, it's too much, right? It's like, I'm not like, go lift with your team.
Like I'm not, you're not doing speed work. Yeah. Like at this school, that's what they need to understand. It's not, it doesn't have to be a five day. Yeah. Right. Literally come to me for 45 minutes and you're out of there.
And it's going to be worth it because you're getting your lifting in. If you're not
playing a sport, go five days. Yeah.
Like what else you doing? Yeah. Yeah. It'll get better. Right. Um, but yeah, those are all, again, like, I think we're in week eight of like, like our, since we opened. So it's like, for me, like, I'm like, up to my eyeballs and like trying to reach out to people.
Cause like my whole, like my athletes that are in the gym, that's my number one problem. It's like everything else can take a vaccine. Um, so I haven't had the time.
I
think when school like starts and I'm not, you know, at the gym at five 30 till, till six. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, I got two kids at home. I gotta get to like, it's like, so once I'm gone, I'm gone.
Yeah. Um, but yeah, once that, that my time opens up a little bit, then I'm going to have more like, like do more reach outs to that. But yeah, I mean, if I can get in, I know they're switching up their strength coach at Hayes.
Yeah. Cause he's leaving. Yeah.
Um,
everyone leaving.
Yeah.
I mean, that might be the opportunity.
You
know what
I'm
saying?
Yeah. Yeah. Again, I, I think, I think coach Monty would be the, the go to the number one guy to go to. Yeah. And
I'll, I'll literally reach out to him on like Instagram or something. Cause I think we follow each other. Yeah.
Dude, if you want, I'll put you guys in a group message. It's like, I mean, it's just like, I've, I wanted to grow organically rather than like, yeah, we have so much marketing on my socials and all that.
And
that's driving right initially the business, but like where I want people is like, is referrals. And you don't like, Hey, I've had this experience, right? Like go check it out. Right. Um, cause I want it to be organic, not just like, trust me.
I've had plenty of people come in and it's just like, it's just not a right fit. It's like, this isn't like what you're looking for.
Um, you almost got to want it more than playing football because at least playing football, you get to enjoy, no offense saying they won't enjoy it, but you get to enjoy being out there with your team playing a game that you're collectively getting into.
Yeah.
To where like, you almost have to be selfish in a way to, to really get the most out of your program.
Yeah. You
got to want it for yourself. Yeah. And if you don't, then, then I don't
know if it's a right fit. Yeah. And like, that's what we teach people though. It's like, most kids aren't going to have that like intrinsic motivation right away. So it's like teaching them to like, love the process, understand that like, this is going to benefit them and like, it's going to help them on the field or on the court or whatever.
Yeah. In life. Yeah. Because it's like, if you truly want to play at the next level, I've been at every single level from youth to high school to college, all the way up to pro. Like, if you watch how the pros or even the kids in college train, it is, I'm talking like D1 college, not, you know, lower than that.
It's like, not that those kids don't train hard, but it's like, it's a, there's a huge gap. Yeah. Right. And even from college to pro, it's like, you get a stud in college, like to make it to pro, it's like, I mean, you're talking about like 0 .1 % of people that are actually going to go and do it.
Right. And if you don't have this, like, you're not getting there. Right. And you're not going to get there on talent alone. It's only going to take you so far.
So you still got, and I just kind of go back to the whole parents, like 50 % is the student, right? The athlete, but the other 50 % is the parents. Yeah. Okay. And that's who you got to sell.
It's not, it's not the athlete. Yeah. Because they're ready to go. Yeah. It's the parents that don't understand, right? The process. Yeah. Right. You know, okay. I look at my son, you know, not my son, but just a son that's, you know, five, five, eight and 11th grade.
Well, he ain't playing college football. No, it doesn't matter. Yeah. Like you said, it's like, he'll take those, those skills on high school, in the college. Yeah. All right. And, and, you know, when, when he's going off on his own and he wants to stay healthy and shape, guess what he's going to be doing.
Right.
He's going to know what to do. Yes. Yeah. And I think during my evals, like, I want the kid to understand that. Like, Hey, this is your, yeah. I tell the parent, I'm like, whether you want him to do or not, it has to be.
How
do you
sell the parents?
So that's number one, right? Yeah.
It,
the, the, the athletes there.
Yeah.
But how do you sell the parents and, and how do you get those parents into your facility?
So the athletes,
you know, because I don't, I don't like the term selling because truly what I'm, I'm creating opportunity and educating families that like, cause I, cause I truly don't want to sell anything. Like I'm not like the worst part of my job is opening up the, the, the pricing booklet and go, Hey, you have to join.
If I could do it for free, I would do it. Cause I have that passion. That would sell it. Yeah. But like, what I do is like one, like my conversation is geared towards the kid because I want to make sure that one, they're, they want to be here.
They're right fit. Half the time the kid's looking around at jerseys or like looking at my whiteboard or whatever. But it's like, I try to make eye contact with them, like go through their numbers and do all this.
The selling piece is like providing the education of like the importance of this outside of like, this is going to get you to be a better athlete. Like we do so much more from like a mental perspective. Like just hearing you talk about pain, like that hearing that makes me happier than, Oh, him running the PR on his, on his fly tank.
Like to me, yeah, I want to see that.
But
he's one
parent that gets it. Yeah. But that's what I'm saying. It's like
understanding, like, when we have parents come in, like, Oh, they're, they're very shy. Like, did they talk to you on that? I'm like, yeah, we had a good conversation. Like I was like, we'll get it out of you.
Like to me, it's, it's just, it's very informal. It's just like, I'm just another guy. Right. This is what we provide. Like, like ask questions. Like what, like the importance of what, like what we're doing. Right. And the importance of it doing it year round.
And then like, like emphasizing that it goes far beyond just the numbers that you're going to see in the strength and, and like agility and speed that you're going to get. Yeah. I think we can honestly
promote that the junior basers. I mean, that's, I mean.
Yeah. It's just,
you
know, required. Yeah. Sorry to cut this off, but we're going to get actually out of the board meeting. I talked a lot. I'm going to finish.
If you can give us a quote, I think at least something that we can actually seriously consider as a program is that off season. So after fall, but before spring, if you got together a maximum of up to 40 students who would commit to it and do a weekly off season training, if you can give us a quote on what that would look like up to 40 students.
And that way we can consider that at the end of the year. Yeah. Well, yeah, it could be open to cheerleaders too. It's just a winter conditioning.
I think that's where we can get
it,
get it somewhere in the mid -range and then somewhere even where we have to sign up to. He's saying up to 40. No, I'm a tier.
No
program. We do. We run a spring center.
Tyler, I
bet the max is 40.
I don't think you're getting more than 40 kids to actually sign up for it. But that's what I was thinking. Do you really think we can get more than
40 to sign up for a winter conditioner? Do you really think we can get a new website started? There we go. Looking at the 3 -4 program
and the direction that we're going, we need to be in a retention mode right now.
I'll look at retention and build. Retention and build. Retention
and build. We're not growing here.
I think that would be
worth it to come out. You guys can start to see something that helps our current athletes. But also it's going to help our way towards the groups. Yeah, I don't disagree. Because I really think that all of our boys and girls
can match
right
there. I
think it's perfect
for them. Right,
perfect for them. We'd love to come to the group. Especially as a
defense and a pressure and a rusher and
everything. The high
school camp's got camped until noon and then we'll come out afterwards. Maybe we'll be up there after five or five or so. I get it. And I get that. I do. I get that. Just check it out. And then it was just a decision that I made.
That's exactly what it is. I just shoot the shit and just figure out where we
can
help each other. You know, so we'll give it
the best shot. You're right. It's basically a commercial for you too. Like you're getting kids in there on a weekly basis and then they can start to talk. And then you're going to find the kids that are serious about it versus not.
And then you can start to let them know like, hey, this is what it looks like to keep going too. So big benefit for you. Yeah, absolutely.
Open to everything. So yeah, I can get that.
I can get
that. I can get that. His email
should be on there. But if you need it, just text me. I'll get you whatever. Let's see what I can do. I'll get you whatever information. I appreciate you coming on. Yeah, no.
I appreciate you guys having me. For sure. Thank you guys. Yeah. Appreciate it. Nice meeting you. Yeah, great meeting you. Thank you, sir.
Oh, you're good, bro. You're good. Thank you.
Just keep me out of trouble. All right? Yeah,
thanks. Thanks. We cut care.
We cut care.

I need
that.
They've gone in and out like three or four times. Sorry. Without asking. No, you're good.
You didn't
mean to
be the bad guy. Good work, Kev. It
was my fault.
I got
work in the morning. It's already seven. Sorry.
You don't want to hang out with
us.
I'd
be
good for Johnny. My wife's name. Dude, I just took him out of freaking one sport. I don't even put him in another one. Well, you guys keep talking about how great it is. We got
to get him to sell us. What are you talking about? You're giving all of our leverage away. Like, no, we want it for 50 % off.
That's why I said, welcome him for a team. I
have
a
lot
of
people. See
how we do you for
a team. It
sounds like a good idea, but let us do a trial. It'd be hard for
me to spend 10 years
a year. It'd be good for Don. You'd have to make him play. So, you're right. It would be great for us to go. That's why we got your Aiden and you, too. I think
that would be good. Matt, because it was coordination, right? Okay? With Aiden. So, once I got him in that dude, it was just a 360 for the kid. Who are you telling me? Before you decide, let me know.
I can look at my
weekends because I definitely want to go with Bates. You should have dropped that while I was here. The owner of Fit
Factory was calling us. I
know, I should have.
They were going to give us $200 a kid. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm
saying. That's what I'm saying. The negotiation
isn't over. I still get to go on a small group on Monday.
Oh, there it goes.
Oh, yeah. And they talked about making the building larger. There's an electric chip that needs guns. It can get real cheap
real fast. You're going there, my bad.
Sorry,
Chris. Sorry, Chris. No, you're fine. I know. Can I go ahead and do the fundraiser? Yes, please. All right. We got one hour. No, no, no. 45 minutes.
Okay, I was just going to go over numbers. So we had four more kids sign up. Two of them went to three floors. Now we're up to 36. You
have 36? Yeah.
Oh,
I
got a first grader who referred to me today. I told him TJ would love to have you. He's taking as many as possible. I
don't care what he's doing. Fifth grade has 16. Sixth grade still only has 12.
There's three prospects for six, which would give us 15. I talked
to Rory's dad. They're in the financial series. Throw them some money. I told him to come Saturday. I talked to the Coopers. I guess they have a group from their Eagles or wherever. People are just giving money to sign kids up.
So he should be there Saturday. Talk to Michael Jordan's mom Friday and today. I talked to his
dad on Saturday. I saw him at the same bar.
So
he
should be there Saturday
as well. There's two more sixth graders. I know his mom's way more hard on him. I saw her out there get on him when he was running a lap.
So just a question. If you don't get a sixth grader, are you going to come back? Or fall six.
No. Play it. Play it ball. It probably won't be 12. Because I know there's at least one more. Like he said this. Well, Romeo, obviously, is a
prospect. So that's guaranteed 13.
Romeo was their own side of it. But it's a prospect. Oh, actually, I wanted to put a note on this. Everybody, but Paul's here.
So
everybody that matters is here. Another
sport?
Paul's
not here. He won't hurt his feelings. And Joe's not here either. So there's nobody that's going to tell him. Right? And where's Justin at? What the hell?
I
was looking forward
to
some pulled pork. He's
working seconds this week. I'm planning
on offering our camp out for free this weekend on pretty much every Delaware group available. You might have 50, but I'm not going to stop recruiting because you're four. You can tell them no. I'm not going to tell anybody no.
So do we set? I'm going to put it up in What's Up in Delaware. I'm going to put it up in Moms in the Know. I'm going to put it up. Yeah, and that's what we can do. At whatever number you feel comfortable at, you can say.
I
mean, 36 would, at this point. That's a lot.
You could say, hey, third and fourth grade is full. We'll put you on the waiting list if something comes up. But, you know, until then. But we've got to pull out all the stops. We've got to take some drastic measures here.
And honestly, so if you guys have a waiver, the waiver that was – we did a waiver before. Put it? For whatever. If we can take that waiver and make it a playing waiver or, like, a practice waiver for the day,
that would be a –
Just
put it in a co -pilot or a chat GPT and tell them that you need a junior Pacers waiver. For playing. I'm going
to
put
it in – actually, Kevin's going to – I'm going to tell Natasha that we need a waiver for Saturday for playing in our camp. When you're done,
send it to me and I'll print you 100 copies of
it. Okay. It'll probably be like 30 copies of it. But anybody who's not signed up already will have to file a waiver to participate. But just because of the liability –
But it
doesn't matter. We'll print a bunch of them. So that they're on file, you can put them in a folder. And then if you need to pull a waiver for anything to play, then you've got the waiver already built in place.
I'll send them another waiver. We
can make a waiver. It's not a big deal. Okay. I just want a signature waiver.
That way we're covered. And I think that should clear us for pretty much everything. Well, you're
going to open
it
to the public. Open it to the public. I very much appreciate it. And you're going to need a lot of people. Because if you're going to open it and you're going to do a waiver –
Sounds like Tiffany would be busy.
What?
Isn't she going to be in there?
If
you advertise
this to what's up Delaware, and wherever you're going to do that, you're still opening that up that there's children in a park. Okay.
So
you have to make sure that you have people accountable to watch your restrooms, your parking lots, so your kids don't miss it here. That's the only reason why everything stays with website, registration, and team link. Got it. So – Yeah, I mean, some people also might pick it to be babysitting.
Bring them on. I'm willing to babysit them for free with 12 kids on my 6th grade team. I'm willing to babysit them for free for three hours. I care less. We
hug the back of that shed, and every child that goes into those restrooms, I'm watching. Although that
would make you look awfully weird. Did you get a picture? It's
okay.
No.
I will be the weird person watching everybody go into the restroom.
Because it's included.
Because I don't want anything to happen.
It's fine with me. I'll let you set up a registration table over there.
Wait a minute. I'm not volunteering.
But – Wait a minute. Hold on. Matt's going to be there. I hope you're running a camp in the morning.
I think Dom's going
to be there.
Well, I'm sure Dom might be there on Saturday. I'll
probably be there. She wasn't there last Saturday. Because imagine where she was. She's running
a cheer camp. They went swimming. They did cheer. Swimming. They did cheer.
We have to set up before 7 o 'clock. She needed to teach my football camp.
It's early. It's an early morning. And I'll be dancing for four hours. I'll
be damned. I think that's a great idea. Thank you. So we'll just have to be extra – We'll just have to be extra vigilant. Exactly. We just need to get a waiver together. Just remember only a
lot
of certain amount of people for the pool. So don't invite them all the
pool.
Well, I'm not inviting them to the pool. Unless they sign up.
Unless
they sign up.
Unless
they
sign up. The pool party invites – that's why I said on Facebook – the pool party will be announced on Team Link, even though it was already announced being – you know. We
have
more
availability than
at 8 o 'clock at night. We're going to
get
all Kevin O 'er is out there and set set up.
Well, I think
we have at least four more coaches that are going to be there. There's a lot of people on vacation
this week.
All three mats are on vacation. T, what did you find out about your stuff? Yeah, Keener
won't be there. But Frank should be there. Did he show
up to the meeting
yesterday? Yeah. Yeah, it was a good meeting. Interesting that
he shows up to the meeting in the middle of his two -week vacation.
They're in Michigan. Right. He came home. We're in Michigan this past weekend and next weekend.
Thank God he's the offensive coach. That kid would have trouble
being a quarterback. That's what it is. You're right there, Lou.
Okay, and then to go through, we have chairs at 38.
So, technically, we have a girl that's on the edge of probably dropping back. So, I'm going to have a uniform available. And I don't know. 38. What
do you mean dropping out?
38. So, obviously, there's no option of registration. No. Refunded. But I'll have the uniform available. So. And then I just did a few calendar dates. So, Saturday the 18th, our football combine is going to be going on.
Pool party at Mingo starts at 730 to 930 for everybody Sunday, July 19th. So, the following week, 20 through 22nd, is the high school camp at Hayes. And then, Tyler, you said you were going to be out there.
But you camp. Do you need anybody
else? I'll be there on Monday as well.
I think Tiffany and Chris are working on a day. Yeah. I think I'm going to get Lauren. I think Lauren can do too. Cool. I think they were working on Wednesday. Yeah. Registration. So, I'll be out there. You should be out there Tuesday.
Then why don't
we take it 5th and 6th?
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. We'll take it all 34. We're going to really put you to the test.
I think 34 was the most we ever had. So, it should be a good test anyway. At
36. I mean, we'll probably have a couple that kind of die off. So, I'm hoping by the start of the season, we're probably going to be at like 32, you know, 32 kids. Yeah. I think so, too. So.
You think we're going to drop four
before season?
The way TJ's planning
on running it? Well,
I mean, we got those two weeks there. So, I
talked
to Joe. He said the same thing. Joe said the same thing.
He
thinks that he's about three or four. Yeah. Other than that, we got some dog. He's excited. There's some big kids. You guys are going to have a top
team. I'll take it aside. This might be the best three, four year we've ever had. Whoa, Kevin. I
don't know. Well, we won a championship. You've got to come up with second place.
Second
division gold. We won a
championship your first year, Kevin. You've got at least second
division gold, man. It was in the silver bracket. It's still a championship. But, yeah. Silver,
gold, gold, silver. Whatever.
It's
exciting, man. It's going to be fun. Like we talked about, there's no expectations. Just have some fun. Bring these kids back next year. There's
no expectation. The boys has been tough.
Well,
I mean,
honestly, it is because we've got to win games. Yes. Okay. And, you know, we were talking about that.
And not
just against River Valley. Yeah. It's not, you know, we can coach the kids and we can, you know, all of them can say, oh, we're having a great time. But winning games is what's going to keep those kids moving along.
Bottom line. So,
now, if we don't win any games, then I don't know what to say. Yeah. I mean, I know for a fact, I have lab. Yeah. I mean,
it's, but. Probably, I probably overstepped in the parent meeting. I think technically we're probably not supposed to have equipment on that first week. Like that's probably the case, right? I don't think we're supposed to have helmets on until that last week of July.
Let me back up and ask you another question. Are you available next Wednesday for that league meeting?
Are you out there?
I'm in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. I won't be there. No. Okay. Are you allowed to go? I'm
allowed to go. We're just going to have practice that night. Oh, that's right.
It's okay. I mean,
I told me it is what it is. You've got to be there. Somebody's got to be there. But, yeah. I mean, I've got four or five other coaches that can run the practice.
You can go.
I saw what happened last year when I asked for this. I ain't doing that shit again. No offense. What was it? You lost again.
Oh, they were playing. I lost this
for
this
for this. Because I pushed it back because of all for this.
It's not a big deal,
we'll
figure it out. Even if we got to bump it down to Thursday and Friday. People would be pissed about practice on Friday, but it is what it is.
I could probably do Thursday.
We'll talk about it, that's after all this.
Yes, I had that week of July 20th, talked about practices. July 21st is 3rd and 4th grade equipment pickup reminder after practice. July 22nd is 5th grade equipment pickup after practice. July 23rd is 6th grade equipment pickup after practice.
And then the 27th through 30th, Monday through Thursday at 530, 730, cool pads August 3rd, physicals. I already had two people give me their physicals, so that was great. And then these are just a few reminders and stuff from last meeting.
Just still online store if anybody has any designs or any ideas or anything they want to upload to that. We can get those submitted. And then Chris,
I
was going to see if you might be able to, I don't know, I haven't checked if that QR code or anything is posted on the website of the online store.
So the QR code takes them to our website.
Is our original? And then the
online, yeah, it's called Fan Gear.
Okay. But
it's on the header of the website.
Okay. Okay. I didn't check that today, so I wasn't sure if that was on.
Yeah, it's been a bit for a while.
Okay. And then I was just thinking of things from the last time I was here, like during the summer doing stuff. For first aid kits, are those in the shed? And do we send it to buy supplies?
No. There's definitely a few of them in the shed. Yeah.
She's already went through all of
them.
So I emptied out. I put everything in our basement so that the band -aids wouldn't get crispy from being cold. Okay. So everything's back in the shed. There's first aid kits out right now for the camps. Okay. So they're sitting on top of the gymnastic fence for the chair.
So if you guys are on the top goes out, we can just turn that in. And then once our season up, the official starts and you guys get your team moms. Brittany and I will put all that stuff together and make sure that we have everything accounted for.
And then as they need it, we'll let us know and we can refill it. Okay. That way we can keep up. Okay.
Yes.
Yes,
TJ. So team moms, once we get names and emails, we send that so they can be on communication. So I
was going to do a team mom meeting. Okay. I'm
going to do a couple of times
because I did that last year I was here. Just to touch base with everybody. Like here, this is my experience and like what we've done in the past. And to meet with everybody to kind of like give like a little bit of guidance and expectations.
Do, I know you mentioned, are there already moms that are going to be team moms?
Yeah. So I had.
Both
our teams. But I think Bobby's the only one that's really looking for us. So who do you have?
So I'm going to have. So one lady approached me on Saturday and she was all about it. Okay. And her name Tiffany Weldon. Weldon? Weldon? Weldon?
Oh, I know that kid. I know that kid too. I'm
sorry.
You called him out.
I did. I said if you're going to have the name on the back of your jersey, you'd better finish your rep.
Weldon. yeah so is that is that good or bad because I don't know I
don't
I don't know the kid okay I just got him out his name was on the back of his chair I wish you seen
there's a
girl yeah
what
he
seems
like maybe Michael
yeah Lauren had it I mean she's school teacher so she had to go for a background
okay well then
with that being said like I have you know I'm pretty sure I don't know if Keener's ever done a background did it last year last spring okay for
three years
now Frank's gonna have to do one then
speaking of coaches
I mean Brandon that's Brady here are crazy yes he wasn't there because one of the 53 dozen last yeah
he coached
because that's a good thing he had a family birthday party or something like that so I'll send the
list for who I need to get a background check
I'm pretty sure that's a seller
on team links so probably
maybe in the next couple weeks I'm gonna send an email out to everybody like like one like looking for more team moms to just to kind of give an introduction about our spaghetti dinner fundraiser and if you want to kind of grapple process you'd like to help with just to kind of like set that to get that idea we were really close to that in our meeting so it
is T -I -N -S -A -I -N -I
and then just a follow -up I know we discussed trainers at games
that
would be great that would be great but you guys don't like Jackie back
I
saw that what's his name put his house up for sale
one
referee
yeah dad and son
yeah the dad and son really yeah and they're all in tangy so I put in the message I was like so you guys are coming to Delaware City he's gonna be a senior he
plays lacrosse too he's a really good he plays
lacrosse
I'm sure he
opens
it yeah you've got physical we've got
everything they're
on
the road so I asked him I was like
Delaware
City
will will will will will will
will
will
will
will will will will will will will will will will will will
will will will will
will will
will
will will
will will
will
will will will
will football players have a sibling that are similar third or fourth grade. I might have a uniform that will fit a girl.
Okay.
So
keep that in mind.
Yeah, I can definitely bring that up. Alright, so I'm on.
So
is there a
discount
for that? It's
already paid
for.
I can have them register but it's already paid for. Because we
already ordered it so we can't give a
refund.
Yeah, I already ordered it. Might as well
put it out on the site and say hey we got a size blank.
No.
Oh that wouldn't work? No.
It would be like Cinderella lined up when you fit the slipper, okay?
Size six or smaller. Listen, and there's two children that I would not like to. They were not a good fit. Yeah, we have to still go off of that. They
are not a good fit in the program or in the jersey?
Yes, right. In the program. But they probably fit the jersey but they are not a good fit for the program. That's
too bad. It is very sad.
I gave
cards to a lot of adults with girls. It is very sad. So I wouldn't be surprised. 37 wouldn't be the end of the world.
No. Even
if you had 12 per team, I think that's plenty. That might be as many as I have.
I mean I may not have as many cheerleaders as you have football players.
I'm sure we could borrow a couple. Send a couple over to camp this weekend. Send some big ones to camp. I'll personally reimburse the uniforms. Only the big ones? Damn! That's all we need!
I'm allowed to be prejudiced here.
We don't. We don't. All of our girls sized anywhere between an adult smile.
I'm going to send over Mason and if anybody is willing to wrestle Mason. I'm
going to give you Rita Vance. I don't even let
them wrestle Mason. They're willing to join. They're willing to wrestle.
Rita's one of our bigger girls. Do you want Rita Vance?
Margarita Vance? I don't want her
mom.
Okay. She's a hoesers. Sorry. Next item. I'm leaving my life. Okay.
Picture day. What's right? Kevin has that scheduled. It's going to be August 8th for football, August 15th for cheer. Cheer will be at 11. Yes. And we don't have a time for football yet because I'm still waiting to see how many kids and how many teams we have.
But the day is secure for August 18th.
Okay.
But if we have to, we can spot this up because I talked to Erica. Okay. In the way that he's running it now.
Even if we don't have the right times, as long as they show up throughout the day and have the right card, he can Photoshop them together.
That's the way that they
position them as political.
We'll just make it work.
Okay.
Take their school, but they're shopping and football pads.
Okay. And then I had mesh practice jerseys. I know we talked about that.
Did you find the price out? Yeah, they're on the Amazon. It wasn't me. They're between $2 and $8.
That wasn't me. Do we really need those?
No,
we don't.
No, we don't need them. But I'm just saying, whenever I brought it up,
I
was saying, for the future, because eventually our stuff is going to get worn out, it's something that we should look into. Instead of buying it, we're
not
going to get free jerseys. We've probably got a year or two years left on these jerseys now.
There are mesh jerseys up in the top of the shed. I can see what you have over there.
What's that? I said
there's no point spending more money on mesh jerseys. Not now. Not right now, no. But like you said, when we're ready, then it's thinking ahead. I
only brought that up last one, so that way it was written down. We have a plan for this.
But when your boys go in there and scrub the shed, you can... I
actually have new boys for that. Did you hear about
the
two at the high school that got caught from sheets? Yeah. I got a text message. Yeah, they're coming down to the shed.
What happened?
Now apparently the other two that got caught in the neighborhood wasn't enough. Apparently their dad's letting them off easy. The two kids that got kind of sheets, they were coming down to scrub the shed. It was nosy. Yeah.
You have to find out from somebody else. You have to get out of the shed.
I got a message at 6 o 'clock in the morning asking...
From
Tristan or from Flynn? From Flynn. Yeah. Asking, do you know these two kids? You're like, yeah. I know one of them right off the bat. And then the other one,
I'm
like... We coached them both. Yeah, I know. Yeah. But the other one,
I'm
like, man, that looks like somebody. I'm like, thinking, thinking. And I was like, I said the name. And then two hours later, he's like, spot on. So...
Yeah, I got it in front of Keisha. I think she... Did anything ever happen? I haven't heard anything. And
Tristan texted me too about it.
I think, yeah. Tristan texted me and let me know. But I sent him to Keisha and I was like, hey, this is already too late. I don't know if I can get in front of it, but you might be able to do something.
Like take them to sheets and try to fix this shit. Yeah. And then I talked to Sean that was at the high school and asked him if they did any action. So I imagine it was today they got some extra in.
Well, if we can open the front part of the shed for storage. Oh, have we... Have we talked about the front part with the city?
Yeah,
did we talk to the city and Steve can keep it
right
now? So,
bridge is no longer there, right? Right. So who's the new contact? It's...
J .D. I forgot who was going to reach out. His name is J .D. It was probably me.
It's definitely not me.
