DROVE PAST R-F&P … on my way to work today and from the highway could see people working on the little league fields and it brought back fond memories. If your child has a game this weekend, commit this sign to memory, everyone will appreciate it.

This week I said goodbye to two of the most outstanding athletes I've coached in my 25 years. They were committed to training on their own during the stay-at-home order, even though their season had ended. Then, when the order was lifted, they did their workouts together, both focusing on their upcoming college careers. Good luck to Annie Murdock at the University of Utah and Nick Pembroke at Utah State. It's been my pleasure.
