Site News: What’s Going On?

If you’re still visiting TTB, you’re most likely a loyal reader. And I appreciate it.

For the past few weeks, I have been producing less on the blog than I probably ever have. And there’s a reason for that. It’s not just a coincidence.

I don’t want to go into too many details, but unfortunately, I have a close family member who has an addiction problem that has created a great deal of personal and financial woes. I’m somebody who tries to learn about problems and fix things, which has led me to dive deep into researching, reading, watching videos, listening to podcasts, etc. about addiction.

I was already stretched pretty thin because I’ve had my primary job while always juggling coaching, side gigs, writing, etc. The blog has always been my third- or fourth-biggest source of income, so I have to treat it as the third- or fourth-biggest professional priority.

I’m still updating the recruiting boards and watching film, but to be honest, it’s tough to focus on the more elaborate pieces that I used to enjoy putting together so much – the scouting reports, the film breakdowns, the hypothetical scenarios, etc.

Go Blue.
