Cause if you don’t wake up every morning thinking “How am I going to break shit today?”

Then I don’t want your advice.

If you don’t walk this earth hell-bent on leaving a mark.
Then I don’t need your expertise.

If you aren’t scraping at the rocks and tilting into the wind because your heart fails every time you realize you just spent two hours watching TV instead doing that work.

Then I’ve got two cold facts for you.
#1 goes “You’re not one of us”
and #2 says “Go home.”

Coach Matt Slaybaugh

I've written one book, scripted two dozen plays (and directed dozens more,) and spent twenty nights at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. I love to learn. It's what I most love about being a coach.
