I woke up this morning, and the raindrops were tapping on the side of my window. As that slow, quiet tap plays inside my room, I did a self-check of how my body felt from yesterday. It started at 9 am, where I made minor cleaning adjustments for the guests who were arriving at noon. As I was preparing the facility, I thought to myself; this game is changing so fast.⁣
⁣
The day of playing in a local association is far gone. The day of being on a team with made up t-shirts and play a 10-20 game season has ended. The day of not knowing how good you are, are over.⁣
⁣
Before you wish of days of past, the nostalgia your experiencing is a farse. We only remember the good feelings—the problems you had when you were young fade, and the frustration dies with time. When looking back, I can remember a lot of playing careers ending prematurely because they didn't have the resources of bigger cities. It was only the larger city kids who could travel, compete, and train at a very high level. It's now at a popularity and financial point where it's more affordable to get better. The ability to become the best athletic version of yourself is here.⁣
⁣
Today, organized sports have developed a support system for players to grow not just athletically, but as human beings.⁣
⁣
Culture is critical, with exposure to highly experienced coaches, competitive players, and training facilities. Looking into the future, they're going to have technology that will accelerate these experiences. The day I had yesterday gets me so passionate about the facility and the Tigers. We had three guests who shared their thoughts on where the game is going. Here are the three takeaway I got from the meetings:⁣
⁣
1. Tech will be king in training⁣
2. Players are about to get really good⁣
3. We are in the golden era of player development⁣
⁣
I want to share everything we talked about, but it would massively extend this post. I will say this; please keep your eyes and ears open in the next couple of months. When we start rolling out the updates at the Lumber Yard, you will be amazed. ⁣
