The best make everything look easier. Because they are prepared.

I had a blast hanging with Andy while he was in Coach Walker mode. Eastern Michigan spent the week in Las Vegas, preparing for and playing the Lake Las Vegas Invitational. Andy’s team won the event last year, and he prepped his Eastern Michigan team to (as Drake would say) go back to back.

The level of detail was phenomenal. The players learned lessons. Mostly importantly, you can learn lessons to take to your preparation and play as well.
