The Underground Huddle

All cliché values of an effective leader work, if you work them. Becoming a Disciplined Leader requires a humble, positive, and ironclad attitude coupled with a relentless work ethic – one that commits to taking consistent action and inspires others along the way. Put simply, actions speak louder than words. The Bottom Line is that practice is more important than the game – both on and off the field of whatever game you play – and holding others accountable to implementing and improving disciplined habits is what TBL Coaching, LLC was founded on. 

A conversation between TBL Coaches Ben Rogers and Sam Rogers, LITTLE THINGS is posted monthly. Each month Sam (or a select guest) brings with him one little thing - a word, thought, or question - that has been prevalent over the past 30 days in his leadership coaching, training, and development. With a passion for leadership and making others better and with a skill of simplifying and linking lessons learned from business, sports, education, and other areas of life, our expectation as leaders is to inspire listeners to get off the bench and take tangible action on the little things to improve themselves, their relationships, and their teams. 

Sam Rogers is a head high school football coach, the Founder of EZDAY Training, and serves as a TBL Coach for Group I.S.I. Workshops and One-on-One 90 programs. With TBL, Sam created the Anchored & Armored program which trains the spirit, mind, and body to be unshakeable. Ben Rogers founded The Bottom Line Coaching Company in 2019 and serves as a TBL Coach for Group I.S.I. Workshops, One-on-One 90 programs, and One-on-One Pro monthly coaching. With TBL, Ben created the Kaizen program which breaks down large goals and articulates them into small, consistent, and disciplined habits to be improved on over time.

Mark Hendrickson is a former professional basketball AND baseball player. Despite many opportunities to turn pro early - he got drafted six different times by the MLB - he chose to complete his degree at Washington State University. At Washington State, Hendrickson was selected to the All-Conference teams for his performance on the court and on the diamond. Hendrickson was drafted by the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers in 1996 and spent time on the Sacramento Kings, New Jersey Nets, and Cleveland Cavaliers before ultimately retiring from basketball and shifting his full focus to professional baseball. Although he still competed in the minor leagues during the summers of his basketball career, Hendrickson's first appearance in the majors was with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2002 as a relief pitcher. Before his retirement from baseball, Hendrickson pitched for the Blue Jays, Devil Rays, Dodgers, Marlins, and Orioles. When asked about his best quality as a leader on and off the court or field, Hendrickson said that he had an ability to stay calm despite the highs and lows of competing in professional sports ("The Next Pitch" mentality). Hendrickson's mentors and inspirations throughout his career include Buck Showalter, Kevin Eastman, and Roy Halladay. Today, Mark Hendrickson resides in Pennsylvania with his wife and children and is on a mission to promote the younger generation's involvement in sports by sharing lessons he learned from his playing days - all the way from his childhood to his remarkable two-sport career in the NBA and the MLB.
