We are fortunate to have Taylor Tucker on this episode. Tucker is the Associate Head Coach at Des Moines Area Community College. 

He’s also the coach behind the incredible resource that is @Tucker_Thorson account on Twitter. I’ve benefitted greatly over the years from the clips and mini-clinics he offers regularly.

This is a fun episode where we dive into triggers and manufacturing and attacking closeouts.
