Speaker 2 (00:58):
Now, Nate, I do want to talk football with you today.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I chatted with Shad O'Connell, I chatted with Spence Checkings
about this.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I asked Spence recently.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
If he thought that Kyle would retire before beating the
BYU Cougars one last time, and he said he didn't
think that it really mattered, right whether or not a
win came at Lavelle this year. He did predict though,
that this is his last year, or at least his
insiders have told him that this is Kyle's last year.
(01:29):
What do you think Do you think Kyle will will
hang it up before beating BYU? Do you think that
even matters? Do you think this is his final year?
How many years does he have left?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
No, you know, at the end of the day, I
think he had obviously such an amazing career as a
coach and has impacted so many players and has a
strong impact in the community. But at the end of
the day, I think this is it right He's I've
seen him and been around him personally to understand that
he's yearning to be with the grandkids and charis you
no more time with his children. He's missed out on
(02:00):
a ton of that. But I feel strongly like this
could be it just given you know the way he
went out last year and then kind of his message
going into this year. But this could be coach wits
last ride and I'm looking forward to seeing how this
one plays out against Yu.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, it's a big one, no doubt about.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
It could be his ultimate send off if he gets
a w over the coops at Lavelle Edwards Stadium. I
remember like one time after a win. I can't remember
what year it was, but he was like he was
going through the tunnel and he like flashed I don't know,
maybe it was like four or five in a row.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I think maybe six in a row.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
He's like he flashed the number to a fan that
was talking mess Do you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Do you remember that video that popped up?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Yeah, he wasn't messing around. He had to let him know, Hey.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I'm just grateful. I'm personally grateful.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I'm too and oh against Wit and the utes, I
still have that as bragging rights. Before you know, Kyle
was able to take on that Pac twelve brand and
maybe even recruit at a higher level and have additional
resources to hire some great coaches.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Welcome in the gun Slinger.

The Quarterback Scientists of three DQB trained three DQB dot Com.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
We got John beck On LiLine John, How theck are you, buddy?
I'm doing good, Ben, how are you doing fantastic?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Week zero is under our best? Else what did you
make of Week zero college football? Did you get to
watch any games? Did you get to evaluate any games?
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Only a little bit? Last week? It was a pretty
big busy weekend for the beck House. I mean I
got to catch a little bit. I was kind of
following on some of the games, especially the ones of
teams that Buyu was going to play, and so I
was paying attention to, you know, the Portland State game.
I was paying attention to the Stanford game, and so
just looking ahead to those future opponents the BYU has
in week one and week two.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
What conclusions did you come away with from the Portland
State game and the Stanford.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Game that BAU should be two to zero. So, I mean, look,
I think that way you think about Buyu starting a
freshman quarterback and understanding it's somebody that you know, this
is going to be his first ever time running out
onto college football field and he's going to be the starter,
first time throwing a path in a college football game.
(05:53):
He's doing it as a starter. There's going to be
a lot of first, and you know, young young players
have to go through learning experiences, and so to be
able to go through that against teams that, if we're
just being honest, probably aren't that great of football teams
right now, that should help a young quarterback have success.
You want a quarterback to go through successful periods while
(06:17):
also receiving enough learning experiences, but in ways that it
still can be like a successful overall experience. So what
I'm trying to say is let them go through learning situations.
But it would be so great if those learning situations
don't impact the team in a way that it ends
(06:37):
up losses because of the quarterback play. I've seen it
a number of times. I've seen quarterbacks similarly go through
learning experiences and in one situation, that player's team, player A,
still finds a way to win because either the opponent
isn't that great the team around him can make up
for his mistakes. It doesn't they're not as costly. And
(06:58):
then you go to player B an other sit situation,
maybe they're playing against much tougher opponents, maybe their team
isn't quite as good around him, and then when he
makes mistakes, those mistakes are compounded those mistakes are more meaningful.
So it's going to be great for Bear, a young
player who's still going to have to learn some things.
But I believe it's going to be an environment where
there's going to be far more success and it's still
(07:20):
going to equate to wins rather than any mistake that
falls on his shoulders ends up really hurting the team.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, two and OHO is an expectation right now. Do
you have a prognostication. I know you have been able
to watch any of these other teams yet the UCUS right,
Colorado all on the dock, at U of A, et cetera.
What do you think Bli's record will be through six
games with a true freshman quarterback that has a robust
(07:50):
supporting cast they have Bear has continuity of scheme and
coaching and culture Kalani A Rod J Hill, K Pop.
There's a good support structure around Bear. What do you
think be what you can be in their first six games?
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Well, by us not rebuilding. BYU has a huge core
of players that are back as starters. It's the coaching
staff that's been together for a long long time. You know.
Really this was a year where BYU was expected to roll,
especially if you know, with like before Jake Redslaff left.
(08:25):
So I look at that team and I look at
the other teams that BYU has coming up. Outside of
the two weeks spoken about ECU, nobody's counting them as
a super tough opponent. West Virginia rebuild, right, They're bringing
in Rich Rod, a new like, new staff, new everything.
Then you go to Arizona, they lost some key pieces.
(08:45):
Colorado before that, they lost a lot of key pieces.
You know, they're having to start a new quarterback, They're
having to rebuild in a lot of areas. I can't
sit there and say that BOU is get to be
undefeated because it's college football. You got to go out
through every Saturday or Friday night and you got to play.
You got to find a way to win. And every opponent,
I would imagine, is viewing BYU as what great opportunity
(09:06):
for our football team to go out and have a
staple win, a big win for a program. You know,
a West Virginia team, that would be huge for them
to be by U, East Carolina, Colorado, Arizona. I mean
you can go down the list of all these teams.
It would be a huge thing for their program. To
get a win against BYU. So everybody's going to be
gunning for him, and they also know how talented BYU.
(09:28):
So look, do I think BYU should have a winning record? Absolutely?
Do I think they have an opportunity to win every game? Absolutely?
I bet BYU is going to be favored in almost
every one of those games that we just talked about.
Now again, it just comes down to playing football on
Saturday and Friday and finding a way to play your
best when your best is needed.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
What words of advice would you give Bear if you
were consulting with him in preparation for his first start
as a true freshman and going into this slate of
games that are winnable, right, but there's going to be
some formid here by week four you do go on
the road versus East Carolina, but you know you has
lost in the past too East Carolina on the road,
So there's some some definitely some trials that are going
(10:09):
to be on the horizon for Bear.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
You know, I would say to trust his instincts. He
has played a lot of football over the years. He
I think he has great instincts, and so it can
be sometimes you feel like, oh, now I'm a college player.
I have to level up. Truthfully, you level up by
the more experience you get. Just trust your instincts, play
(10:35):
what you see, you know, and also because he's a
guy that can take off with his feet and make
the play happen. It's okay if you don't see everything perfectly.
At the end of the day, not every play is made.
Because the quarterbacks see things perfectly and executes every play
exactly how it's drawn up. Sometimes you don't see it perfectly.
Sometimes you're ayas in the wrong spot, but you can
go create a play. That's why coaches sometimes will pick
(10:57):
a starting quarterback or lean on a guy just has
the ability to create. And Bear has that ability. So
I think the big thing for him is just playball
the way you've always played and then let things play out,
let the chips fall were they made, and if mistakes happened,
just just move on. There's nobody in that building that's
going to be questioning give you pick the right guy.
(11:17):
There's no good like, there's not going to be anybody
that's super disappointed if he makes a mistake. It's just
all part of the process for a young quarterback, and
to just go out and just keep playing, keep slaying them.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
So John this.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I wrote a kind of a long piece of why
I think Bear Bachmer has a good chance to be
successful in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
What does success looks like? Look like?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
If you're a true freshman quarterback this season? Would you say, like,
you know, what are some of like objective data metrics
that you would say, Hey, ideally this is what success
could look like for Bear?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Well, I'm probably not going to jump into data metrics
because a lot of that deals with numbers and outcomes,
and sometimes that's stuff that's out of his control. The
thing I think is he's on a good football team.
So to me, it's going to be the balance between
making some special plays which he's capable of, and balancing
(12:18):
that with being smart and limiting the bad decisions at times.
Young quarterbacks when trying to create plays, they're used to
being able to make certain plays against the high school competition.
Right well, the competition is going to be a bit
better right around on the defensively, guys that he's going
to be going against, and so it's just it's managing
(12:40):
some of those situations within a game of do I
need to try to squeeze this ball in right here?
Or am I in the situation where I just need
to get down, get out of balance, throw the ball
away and allow my team to punt the ball to
them and flip the field. Like it's those type of things.
It's not always about having to make special and plays
(13:00):
all the time. Sometimes it's about managing the situation of
a game and limiting the really costly turnovers or the
bad decisions. And so like I think for Bear it's
gonna be him just understanding the type of team that
he's on and the situation that he's playing in. This
is not a team that is having to go into
games and say, all right, we're gonna have to create
(13:23):
a lot of plays for us to find a way
to beat our opponent. It's gonna be about executing the offense,
understanding the game plan. When the shot opportunity is there,
take it, and when it's not, be smart with the football.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Bear is an interesting personality. I actually chatted with the
Max Hall about the dynamics of personality in the key
leadership position quarterback, and I look at Max and your personalities.
Two different types of players, two different types of personalities,
two different types of skill sets that led by U
two double digit wins and iconic seasons. When you look
(14:03):
at the expansive personalities that have led BYU over the years,
the Aweshucks, Ty deptmer right, the Taysom Hill personality.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
You go back to.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Gifford and Robbie Bosco and all these things, Like what
do you learn?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
You know, what perspective could you provide us?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
You know in regards to the personalities and the skill
sets that lead BYU at the quarterback position and how
that impacts maybe the surrounding play of the team.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Well, you gave a good point of all the different
personalities of all those guys, right, You don't have to
be a certain way. There isn't a formula where you
have to shift your personality to be something you're not,
or you have to be somebody else did had a
lot of success. I mean, just to look at the NFL,
(14:53):
there are tons of quarterbacks that have different levels of
success and like great quarterbacks, and they're all different personality wise,
you know. I think the big thing that they probably
all carry though, that is across the board very similar,
is competitiveness. I think every single guy you named right there,
(15:14):
the ones that I know well and the ones that
I kind of know. I would say all of those
guys carry a level of competitiveness that is very, very high.
So even though the personalities might be different, the competitiveness
is always there. And so for a guy like Bear, Look,
Bear's a bit on the quiet side. He just is,
but I know he's a very very competitive guy, and
(15:36):
he's gonna lead in his own way a lot of
the times. What I've learned about quiet guys is when
they do speak up, everybody's listening. Sometimes the loud guys,
the raw raw guys, always have something to say. Truthfully,
not everybody's listening to everything because they're so accustomed to it.
So sometimes that quiet guy that just goes about his business,
(15:58):
when he does open his mouth and say something, everybody
is listening and keenly aware. And I think that's probably Bear.
Bear is gonna be a bit on the quiet side,
but I know he's super competitive. I know he's very driven,
and I know that when he opens his mouth, the
guys you're gonna listen.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yeah, what's interesting.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
So I've kind of fractured or partition like the three.
I don't know if it's personalities, but three like main
kind of tenets to the personality that I've seen work
at the quarterback position.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I feel like there's there's.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
One personality that's a little bit louder, bodacious, like just
kind of rambunctious. They have like the superiority complex of
like I can do anything. Like they have this this
belief in themselves and they let everybody know about it
in almost an abrasive way. And then you have like
the repetitious individual that is so detail oriented and and
(16:51):
so like judicious about their own individual organizational design and
habits that they repped things out so well and have
you know, failed along the way and had success along
the way, and then they just become desensitized to like
the the moments, right, these big moments, and they're just
(17:12):
so well prepared. And then you have like these emotional
like stoics that are just naturally like not deterred by
these high moments, right. They're just like their biochemistry is
is a certain it's a certain certain formulation where they're
just like even keel all the time. And I'm sure
(17:33):
you've seen so many different personalities and certain individuals that
are that are like that. But like when you kind
of try to partition at What do you see in
these quarterbacks that lead high level teams?
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Well, yeah, I think you So you brought up some
good points as you were talking about certain guys I
was thinking about to my experience, or guys that I
know that are like that. You know, you see some
personalities like a Baker Mayfield, right, a guy that was
a walk on in college, went to Texas Tech. You
know you can say the bravado. Yeah, the way that
he carries himself, right, you know, Jim McMahon, right, like
(18:09):
they kind of fall they kind of fall into that line.
Some other guys like a guy that's going to be
starting for the Cleveland Browns here at age forty, Joe
Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco is not a loud guy. He
was a very quiet guy. When we were at the
Ravens together. The coaching staff was wanting him to stay more,
be more, be louder. And I remember times that he
would been to me like, why are they trying to
have me do this?
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Like I've never been that.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
That's not going to be me. My teammates are going
to know that's fake. Just let me go about my business.
And one thing about Joe was, here's a guy that
would play in the AFC Championship game like four of
his five first years I think in the league, and
he was just had this way about him where nothing
was too big. He was just always calm handled it.
(18:53):
You know, there's a really great book called called Relax
and Win where they were training guys in the military,
and it was a track coach that the military had
brought in and the military was looking for certain traits
and they were getting it wrong. And they were putting
these guys up in these airplanes and wondering like, well,
we were grabbing the guys that test best on paper,
why are they failing in the air in critical moments.
(19:16):
And he goes, well, it's because you're grabbing the wrong guys.
You're grabbing the guys that get too elevated in those
high intensity moments. You want the guys that actually have
the ability to just have a natural calmness. And he
said it's the brook trout look. Put them into those
really pressure packed, high intense situations and when you look
at that their face, there is no arousal, there's no
(19:38):
heightened pressure or anything from them. They're just handling it
like any other place. And you mentioned that in your
quarterback description, and that's how I view Joe Flacco. Like
it didn't matter if it was practice or the AFC Championship.
Joe literally looked like the same guy you know. And
I think though that there is a natural attraction of
(19:59):
people on it team two certain guys in terms of
that is our leader, and it doesn't mean you have
to lead the same way. But I think there's an
honesty and integrity to your personality style, and then when
that is also teamed up with drive, a willingness to
give a lot, people in the building can sense it
and see it. When you are giving a lot for
(20:21):
a purpose, when you're driven to put in extra time,
when the attention to your craft, players can feel it
and see it. Those things matter probably more than what
comes out of your mouth. It's what you do. And
so I think those are some of the attributes that,
regardless of personality style, have to show up. When people
(20:42):
see an extremely talented guy that carries himself with all
this confidence, and he comes across as super confident, but
he's one of the first guys out of the building.
He's one of the last guys to show up in
the morning, barely before meetings. He's not really studious in
what he's doing, and at times he's making mistakes during
the week because he hasn't studied his game plan. It
doesn't matter how talented or how confident you carry yourself.
(21:04):
Guys just aren't going to follow that. They're gonna follow
the guy who's whose characteristics, his patterns, his behaviors and
habits exude the type of person that they want to
follow on the football field.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Love that perspective that only you can give John Beck
Quarterback Scientists, three DQB Train, three DQB dot com. I
do want to let everybody know that's listening. If you
have quarterbacks within the walls of your home, three QB
has a great in season.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Program for you. If you want to watch film, shoot,
is it only quarterbacks? Stewart?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Do you can you watch film with other kids and
and their parents when they're they're they're struggling with something
hub qub.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
She Here's the thing I will say that I have
had done. I mean, I've done a number of work
with athletes in different sports. I've worked with girls soccer,
girls softball, basketball, baseball, just because of the mental performance
side of things. I love the sports psychology aspect, and
it's just really the experience that athletes go through and
(22:07):
how there's similar things that they experience despite the difference
in sports. So much of what a person feels when competing, participating, auditioning,
those type of things, earning a spot, being benched, being cut,
being told you the basketup, like, there's all this myriaut
of experiences that happen that are so similar across sports.
(22:27):
And so because of that, I'll get reached out by,
you know, somebody that knows somebody that I worked with,
and they say, hey, my daughter is a soccer player,
or hey, my nephew. I was talking to my brother
his son he's going through this. He's a basketball player,
and you talk to his son who was a quarterback.
Is there any way you can talk to him? And
so really it's just it's about everybody can benefit from
(22:49):
the acquisition raiser understanding of what is happening in their
mind and their body throughout this experience of sports, and
as they understand themselves better and what they're experiencing. A
lot of the times it's just being okay with what
you're experiencing is normal. So many kids chalk it up
as I wish I didn't feel like this, or this
(23:11):
must mean I'm not going to perform well, or I'm
having anxiety because I feel this way. Well, the reality
is you're experiencing something normal, that the physiological makeup of
your body, what it's going through, is preparing you to
actually go out and perform. It's not wrong. You don't
need to chalk that up. As I'm feeling feelings that
don't feel comfortable, start viewing those as this is a
(23:35):
normal process. As my body goes into something that I
care about, something that I trained a lot for, so
it feels like a lot is on the line. That's normal. Now,
let's talk about what you can do when you feel
those normal feelings once you've normalized them. Now, let's put
a plan together so you have some tools to now
better prepare yourself for what happens next.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Love that perspective.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Guys, connect with trained John at train three DQB dot
com if you're a quarterback or just looking for that
mental edge. I got one last thing for John before
we let you go. I'm writing a piece I'm gonna
publish at ksel dot com. I also put out an
ex tweet about this why I believe bear Bachmayer has
a good chance, a solid chance of being successful in
twenty twenty five. And then I want you to reflect,
(24:20):
as I'm going through all these components, if you could
go back in time and take one or two of these,
what would have been the most impactful for you to
be successful immediately as a true freshman when you had
to lead BYU once upon a time.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
So this is what I said.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Four star recruit nationally recognize he had offers from E
lead purpose. He's got good clay Right Alabama, Georgia, Michigan,
Notre Dame, Oregon, Texas A and M Stanford Utah VYU,
amongst others.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
He's got dual threat ability six two to twenty five.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
He's got a good build, comes from a football family,
high football IQ that means something gained early college experience
at Stanford during springball, giving him some familiarity with the
personnel and base schemes of Stanford.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
That's game two. That's a nice notch at his belt.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I guess described as brilliant for Aaron Roderick and his
high school coach said, he's got a photographic memory. First
six games are all winnable. MBA should be favored actually
needs matchup. Three of the first games. First six games
are at home in Lavelle Edwards Stadium. Week three by
allows for maybe early adjustment, correction and recovery, avoids immediate
(25:22):
matchups against the toughest Big twelve defenses that are on
that seven, eight, nine, ten, You know game weeks supporting
cast l J. Martin, Sioni, Moa, Chase Roberts, Parker Kingston,
Jojo Phillips, Cody Hagen. You got Carson Ryan and keaneid
tenured offensive line with multiple returning starters. You have a
projected top twenty five defense, projected top twenty five special
(25:44):
teams unit. You have Kilane's culture and consistency, allowing for
more stability and less volatility within the team in regards
to their roles identity. Offensive coordinator has a solid recent
track record of developing young quarterbacks within his architecture, continuity
of offensive staff up in scheme, so stability for a
young quarterback is beneficial. Quarterback friendly system with play action, rhythm,
(26:06):
prows and design mobility, Lavelle Edwards always provides a significant
home field advantage. You get six of those new strength
and conditioning program that has helped the team healthier late
in the season. The last two years, you do have
increased depth, I think with the Big twelve brand, and
you've been able to reload, and then you have vet
friend leadership and culture on the roster, creating a supportive
(26:28):
environment for fresh and QB. If you could take a
couple of those from two you can comment on any
of them, But if you could take a couple of those,
which ones would have been most beneficial to you when
you were a true freshman starter coming off of me?
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Well, look, I think those are all great. This is awesome.
I mean, really, what we need to do is say
what a great situation that BIU has provided for a
freshman quarterback. Not all freshman quarterbacks get to come into
situations with all of those things going for them. You
really need to help young quarterbacks by what you have
established around them to assistency, opportunities for growth, help around
(27:03):
them when they might not be at their best or
when they might not see things. So like, how cool
is it that Byu was in a place to help
support and lift up a freshman player? And I believe
bears a really talented kid, and I think it's going
to be a great opportunity for him. When I look
back on my experience as a freshman, there were things.
You know that I missed three football seasons because of
(27:25):
my mission. Ideally we were hoping to only miss two.
But back in those days, you know the whole when
you put your mission call in, when you got your
mission call, Like I was trying to leave the beginning
of August, I ended up getting called for November, so
I missed an additional football season. Would it have been
great to not have missed so much football before I
started as a freshman. Absolutely. I think one of the
(27:48):
things that's been great for Bear. I mean I followed
Bear for years. His stat lines. The kid's been throwing
the ball thirty forty times a game, sometimes fifty times
a game for a number of years. All of that
equals experience in situational decision making. As a quarterback, you
have to know what it feels like to manage tons
of situations with the ball in your hands. I loved
(28:11):
the high school I went to the Mountain Dewtros. We
were a great football team. We had a ton of success,
but we probably only threw the ball over twenty times
in a game. Twice the whole time I was there.
Most of the time, it was between ten and fifteen,
and we had a great running game. So situationally, when
I got to college football, one of the biggest things
I had to learn and I needed to gain more
(28:32):
experience in was those situational decision making with the ball
in my hand, beginning as a passer and managing more
first and second downs and then leading to third down
decision making as a passer. Scheme wise, is another thing,
Like all of those things were very new. So as
I look to the landscape of college football and high
school football and what it is right now, I think
(28:54):
high school football players received such better instruction in terms
of the the scheme and the play that these kids
are running in high school or preparing them to be
able to step in earlier. It's not such a big
jump schematically. I just remember that feeling when I first
got to Gary Croton's offense. I was a I was
so excited because, man, this is amazing. I've always dreamed
(29:16):
in playing of a system like this, but I hadn't
experienced a system like that in terms of what was
being asked of me, and so it was the very
very new. I think bear in this situation is bringing
a lot of experience in a system he ran in
high school and also what he has probably experienced that
at Stanford. That's going to help him be successful as
(29:37):
a young football player. So much of that at quarterback
is about vision. What have your eyes seen, your mind process,
and your body experience in terms of what's happening around you.
You can't just watch it on TV or or look
at a playbook and then drop yourself in there and
expect to do everything right. You have to experience that.
(29:58):
And so when I look back at my as a
young player, it was the need to experience that type
of an offense, all of those things, having really been
out of football for three football seasons.

call is eight oh one eight five zero ninety one hundred.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
That's right, eight oh one to a five zero ninety
one hundred Advanced Windows dot Com. I do want to
ask you a football question real quick here, Nate BYU
is going to be trying out a true freshman quarterback.
Now they project that they have a good supporting cast
around him offensively, defensively, and on special teams. What are
are are our typical characteristics of a successful football team
(32:31):
that is trotting out a true freshman at quarterback.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
How much optimism should there be in provo right now?
Do you think?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Oh, you know, it's always a tough get a lotet
scary position and being especially as a true true freshman
quarterback right coming in. You know, the biggest thing you
do as far as the pass support him is to
keep it simple, right, keep a simple, keep the offense simple,
allow him to go out and execute short game, you know,
execute the run game. But with that, you know, as
(33:02):
a true freshman, you really don't know and see step
on the field and those bright lights are shining on
you and you're you're you're getting live shots from the
defense and things are going one hundred miles per hour.
All you can do is just keep the offense simple
for a kid like that and allow him to go
out and.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Play the games.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Yeah, it's uh, it's tough to try out a true freshman,
even if it is a four star high level three
star quarterback with a lot of talent and a build.
You know, I mean, I think bear six two six
two and a half two twenty five has a dual
thread to ability. Uh, I'm sure a rod's gonna run
up a little bit. You're familiar with how a Rod
calls the game. Why does he like his dual threat quarterbacks?
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Yeah, he loves those quarterbacks that can be versatile, you
know in the pocket when things start to break down,
or you know that can that can just get you
out of situations where if they are bringing those glitz,
that can scramble outside of the pocket and create some
plays on his feet, whether it's you know, finding somebody
deep with the with the deep cross or using his
(34:01):
legs to get that first out to keep the offensive
live alive.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
A Rod does a.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Really good job of just again putting guys in the
positions to be successful. Most importantly, and once you get
a duel certain quarterback like like Bear, I mean, he's
what you're wanting and you're you're licking your tops as
far as hey, here's a kid that can can do
something special for us.

(37:38):
Health mentioned I senscha gamedaymenshealth dot Com. All right, let's
get into a bear bachmeer, Ladies and gentlemen, what was
your reaction when you became QB one.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
Bear, Yeah, I was thrilling. It was a I mean,
it was a great moment. It's any credit waterer to
represent such a profound university, and you know, obviously being
on the football team, it's any credit waterer.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
It's an incredible honor. There's been so many great quarterbacks
that have come through b YU.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
He gets to be a part of that legacy, that
quarterback factor, that QBU factory. What was your confidence level
when you got to BOU that you could win the
job there?
Speaker 7 (38:15):
Yeah, you always want to be confident in yourself and
your ability.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
You know.
Speaker 6 (38:20):
I think I think with the support cast coach Mitchell
and coach a Rod and you know, even the quarterbacks
in the room, elevating everybody's game. But yeah, I would
say that my confidence level was was pretty high.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Look, he was competing for QB one at Stanford. You
could make an argument that he would have beat out
go Branson at Stanford. Of course he came into b
YU thinking he should compete for the job. Now what
expectations has a Rod set for you now that you
are the starting quarterback?
Speaker 6 (38:52):
Yeah, I mean the expectation is to I mean to
win a championship, you know, you know, I think I
think the individual expectation is, you know, we want we
want to complete the ball, We want to put put
the ball in in our playmaker's hands, and you know,
we want to go score touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
You know.
Speaker 7 (39:08):
But the Bengals is to win a championship.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Win a championship, a Big twelve championship. What's the level
of optimism and kugarnation right now that Bear Bachmeyer can.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Lead you to a Big twelve championship.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
I think cautiously optimistic is an accurate depiction. Now moving
on to number four SoundBite. When the team was told
you were going to be the guy, can you describe
that moment and what reaction there was from the team?
Speaker 7 (39:37):
Yeah, the support has been second to none.
Speaker 6 (39:40):
I mean when when you know the quote unquote leaders
of the team are are you know, happy and and
you know just gravitating towards you and you know it's special,
you know, and we got a great team and I
think we're gonna go really far.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Hey, Uh, optimism hope runs eternal in provo, even with
a true freshman quarterback. And you're hearing uh this uh,
this optimism even coming from the locker room and from
your QB one. Now take us behind the scenes. Bear,
when you were named the starter, who was the first
person you called? Did your phone blow up?
Speaker 2 (40:15):
By chance? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (40:17):
I mean it was It was a surreal moment. You know,
it was very special.
Speaker 6 (40:20):
I kind of stayed off my phone that whole day,
and and we we just finished practice, so kind of
getting getting my cool down on and uh, you know,
getting in the tubs. So I mean, I wasn't really
looking at my phone, but I probably probably called my
dad after and you know, told him the deal.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
So was cool.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
So I find this is a this is a case
study for high level behavior of high level athletes. The
fact that Bear did not engage in any interaction apart
from his call to his father, I think speaks speaks,
(41:05):
you know, so much to.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
Who he is as a football player, who he is
as a as a leader.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
Many people would go right to their phone and begin
responding right social media text messages.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
The phone's blowing up.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
He distanced himself from technology, went into recovery mode, got
in the cold, bat did some recovery at the training room.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
You know, probably got some food in his body.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Level set didn't get enamored and infatuated and entrenched in
all the likes, all the congratulations.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
It's just a part of who he is. I think
that's a fantastic sign.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
I am an individual even though I have to reside
in social media with my platform, and I use it
a little bit differently than I would say maybe a
student athlete would, right, And I have some you know,
some some experience under my belt. But like I am
of the of the opinion that student athletes, more often
than I should not be on social media, should not
(42:09):
be over really engaged in technology unless you can outsource
it entirely so you're not having.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
To be distracted by it.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
And I don't think bear Bachmeier is distracted by all
of those yeah, all the pop circumstance hype that surrounds
him within the fan base on social media on the outside. Either,
that's a good sign. In fact, I think it's a
fantastic sign of things to come. Now, if you were
able to announce to Kugarnation, how how would you introduce
(42:40):
yourself to the fan base and what's your go to tune?
Speaker 2 (42:43):
By chance?
Speaker 6 (42:44):
Bear, Yeah, I like the like the thing. I'm I'm
a pretty outgoing guy. And and I like playing the guitar.
So I just I like having fun, and uh, you know,
I like the thing. I'm a good football player too. Yeah,
I like playing the guitar and just just having fun,
fun with the guys. So I think, yeah, I didn't
think that's that. That's that wagon wheel. I like playing
(43:04):
that one.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
I just think it's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
He's got this aw shucks attitude that we discussed yesterday.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
Low key nice guy. Like playing Settlers of Katan Katan.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
I don't know what it's called. I've never played it before,
Like playing my guitar. A good football player, that's me.
Has your older brother Hank given you any advice? Moving
on to number seven? Here has Hank Bachmeyer, the guy
that threw for I think over eleven thousand yards, is
a college football player giving you any advice since you've
been named the starter bear?
Speaker 7 (43:41):
Yeah, especially especially my brother.
Speaker 6 (43:43):
I mean he's he's played college football for six years
and he's got a lot of experience. So just being
a sponge with him, you know, I'm very fortunate to
have him, And yeah, he's he's helped out immensely. And
and yeah, the support of my family is second to none.
And I mean, I love him so much and just
trying to make them.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
Gotta make them priude to you.
Speaker 1 (44:02):
It takes a village, It takes a lot of mentor's case,
a master sometimes to bring you along at a more
advanced pace. And I think Hank and obviously bears family,
the rest of Sambit's father, et cetera, have aided.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
Him in that effort.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
So number eight here, you've only been on campus since
June or July. How are you able to learn the
playbook so quickly? Were there late night cram sessions.
Speaker 7 (44:27):
It was a big test.
Speaker 6 (44:28):
It's a big testament to coach Mitchell and and coach
ay Rod. I met with coach Coach Mitchell. I mean
almost every day, you know, install one, Install two, and
so three and so forth. So I think me learning
the playbook, you know, I give I give a lot
of credit to Coach Mitchell because I mean he taught
me the whole playbook and you know, a month, two months,
(44:51):
and and you know, just yeah, and then I had
extra hours to kind of memorize and regurgitate the information.
But I mean I I test, I test the learning
process to Coach Mitchell. He's he helped out immensely.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
Matt Mitchell.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
Tom Homo responded to a video I believe posted by
Sean Walker of KSL dot com, one of the co
host contributors here on our platform, and he said, uh,
remember the name, And I said, eminem.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Before it's actually a fort minor. Remember the name. I
didn't want to jump in and correct you, but I
didn't want to make you look bad. But I I,
you can correct me. No, you shouldn't correct me. Sounded
very similar. Remember the name was actually fort minor.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
Yeah, and that came out I think like like two
thousand and six or something like that. I should know
that I shouldn't have messed that up. But yeah, remember
the name. Uh oh my, that was a big swing
and a miss for me.
Speaker 4 (45:54):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Uh, Matt Mitchell, remember the name? Who is he?
Speaker 1 (45:59):
The assistant quarterbacks coach for the Cougar football team. He's
been with us since well, he's with us in twenty
twenty and made a little bit of cash, a little
bit of hay over at Baylor and then came back
twenty twenty two to President. Matt Mitchell typically behind the
scenes but doing great work for the Cougars and Bear
Bachmeyer gives him a tip of the cap for getting
(46:21):
him up to speed on the playbook. All right, last thing,
you've worked with John Beck in your high school career.
Who asked this question, what has he done to further
your game in high school and your time at BYU.
Speaker 6 (46:37):
Yeah, he's done a great deal. I mean, he's such
a great resource to utilize. Yeah, I started training with
him when I was in seventh grade, and I don't
want to nerd out, but you know, we get into
the weeds of biomechanics and you know, trying to refine
my kinematic sequence. And actually just just called him last
week about you know, his process going into going into
(46:58):
game days and you know what it is from Sunday
to Friday night. And so yeah, he's just been in
a great resource and very grateful for him.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Have it.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
That's look and look we had have made that announcement
weeks ago that Bear Bachmeyer had been training with John
Beck throughout his young young teams and into young adulthood
throughout high school. And so that boat's well for for Brigham.
That boats well for why you should be optimistic about
(47:31):
Bear Bachmeyer as your as your starting quarterback.
Speaker 2 (47:35):
In the weeks to come.
Speaker 1 (47:36):
So we'll see how twenty twenty five plays out with
Bear at the Helm. But that's a little player profile,
little get to know you with Bear Bachmeyer. Great segment,
and you know, we appreciate Bear hopping up to the
mic and you know, hitting some home runs. I thought
there were some great quotes from Bear. You know, I
wouldn't say he's he's one that wants to be in
(47:58):
front of a microphone, but he feels perfectly comfortable being
in front of the microphone. So get into the game

Now, Nate, I do want to talk football with you today.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I chatted with Shad O'Connell, I chatted with Spence Checkings
about this.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I asked Spence recently.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
If he thought that Kyle would retire before beating the
BYU Cougars one last time, and he said he didn't
think that it really mattered, right whether or not a
win came at Lavelle this year. He did predict though,
that this is his last year, or at least his
insiders have told him that this is Kyle's last year.
(01:29):
What do you think Do you think Kyle will will
hang it up before beating BYU? Do you think that
even matters? Do you think this is his final year?
How many years does he have left?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
No, you know, at the end of the day, I
think he had obviously such an amazing career as a
coach and has impacted so many players and has a
strong impact in the community. But at the end of
the day, I think this is it right He's I've
seen him and been around him personally to understand that
he's yearning to be with the grandkids and charis you
no more time with his children. He's missed out on
(02:00):
a ton of that. But I feel strongly like this
could be it just given you know the way he
went out last year and then kind of his message
going into this year. But this could be coach wits
last ride and I'm looking forward to seeing how this
one plays out against Yu.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, it's a big one, no doubt about.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
It could be his ultimate send off if he gets
a w over the coops at Lavelle Edwards Stadium. I
remember like one time after a win. I can't remember
what year it was, but he was like he was
going through the tunnel and he like flashed I don't know,
maybe it was like four or five in a row.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I think maybe six in a row.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
He's like he flashed the number to a fan that
was talking mess Do you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Do you remember that video that popped up?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Yeah, he wasn't messing around. He had to let him know, Hey.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I'm just grateful. I'm personally grateful.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I'm too and oh against Wit and the utes, I
still have that as bragging rights. Before you know, Kyle
was able to take on that Pac twelve brand and
maybe even recruit at a higher level and have additional
resources to hire some great coaches.

We got John beck On LiLine John, How theck are you, buddy?
I'm doing good, Ben, how are you doing fantastic?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Week zero is under our best? Else what did you
make of Week zero college football? Did you get to
watch any games? Did you get to evaluate any games?
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Only a little bit? Last week? It was a pretty
big busy weekend for the beck House. I mean I
got to catch a little bit. I was kind of
following on some of the games, especially the ones of
teams that Buyu was going to play, and so I
was paying attention to, you know, the Portland State game.
I was paying attention to the Stanford game, and so
just looking ahead to those future opponents the BYU has
in week one and week two.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
What conclusions did you come away with from the Portland
State game and the Stanford.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Game that BAU should be two to zero. So, I mean, look,
I think that way you think about Buyu starting a
freshman quarterback and understanding it's somebody that you know, this
is going to be his first ever time running out
onto college football field and he's going to be the starter,
first time throwing a path in a college football game.
(05:53):
He's doing it as a starter. There's going to be
a lot of first, and you know, young young players
have to go through learning experiences, and so to be
able to go through that against teams that, if we're
just being honest, probably aren't that great of football teams
right now, that should help a young quarterback have success.
You want a quarterback to go through successful periods while
(06:17):
also receiving enough learning experiences, but in ways that it
still can be like a successful overall experience. So what
I'm trying to say is let them go through learning situations.
But it would be so great if those learning situations
don't impact the team in a way that it ends
(06:37):
up losses because of the quarterback play. I've seen it
a number of times. I've seen quarterbacks similarly go through
learning experiences and in one situation, that player's team, player A,
still finds a way to win because either the opponent
isn't that great the team around him can make up
for his mistakes. It doesn't they're not as costly. And
(06:58):
then you go to player B an other sit situation,
maybe they're playing against much tougher opponents, maybe their team
isn't quite as good around him, and then when he
makes mistakes, those mistakes are compounded those mistakes are more meaningful.
So it's going to be great for Bear, a young
player who's still going to have to learn some things.
But I believe it's going to be an environment where
there's going to be far more success and it's still
(07:20):
going to equate to wins rather than any mistake that
falls on his shoulders ends up really hurting the team.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, two and OHO is an expectation right now. Do
you have a prognostication. I know you have been able
to watch any of these other teams yet the UCUS right,
Colorado all on the dock, at U of A, et cetera.
What do you think Bli's record will be through six
games with a true freshman quarterback that has a robust
(07:50):
supporting cast they have Bear has continuity of scheme and
coaching and culture Kalani A Rod J Hill, K Pop.
There's a good support structure around Bear. What do you
think be what you can be in their first six games?
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Well, by us not rebuilding. BYU has a huge core
of players that are back as starters. It's the coaching
staff that's been together for a long long time. You know.
Really this was a year where BYU was expected to roll,
especially if you know, with like before Jake Redslaff left.
(08:25):
So I look at that team and I look at
the other teams that BYU has coming up. Outside of
the two weeks spoken about ECU, nobody's counting them as
a super tough opponent. West Virginia rebuild, right, They're bringing
in Rich Rod, a new like, new staff, new everything.
Then you go to Arizona, they lost some key pieces.
(08:45):
Colorado before that, they lost a lot of key pieces.
You know, they're having to start a new quarterback, They're
having to rebuild in a lot of areas. I can't
sit there and say that BOU is get to be
undefeated because it's college football. You got to go out
through every Saturday or Friday night and you got to play.
You got to find a way to win. And every opponent,
I would imagine, is viewing BYU as what great opportunity
(09:06):
for our football team to go out and have a
staple win, a big win for a program. You know,
a West Virginia team, that would be huge for them
to be by U, East Carolina, Colorado, Arizona. I mean
you can go down the list of all these teams.
It would be a huge thing for their program. To
get a win against BYU. So everybody's going to be
gunning for him, and they also know how talented BYU.
(09:28):
So look, do I think BYU should have a winning record? Absolutely?
Do I think they have an opportunity to win every game? Absolutely?
I bet BYU is going to be favored in almost
every one of those games that we just talked about.
Now again, it just comes down to playing football on
Saturday and Friday and finding a way to play your
best when your best is needed.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
What words of advice would you give Bear if you
were consulting with him in preparation for his first start
as a true freshman and going into this slate of
games that are winnable, right, but there's going to be
some formid here by week four you do go on
the road versus East Carolina, but you know you has
lost in the past too East Carolina on the road,
So there's some some definitely some trials that are going
(10:09):
to be on the horizon for Bear.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
You know, I would say to trust his instincts. He
has played a lot of football over the years. He
I think he has great instincts, and so it can
be sometimes you feel like, oh, now I'm a college player.
I have to level up. Truthfully, you level up by
the more experience you get. Just trust your instincts, play
(10:35):
what you see, you know, and also because he's a
guy that can take off with his feet and make
the play happen. It's okay if you don't see everything perfectly.
At the end of the day, not every play is made.
Because the quarterbacks see things perfectly and executes every play
exactly how it's drawn up. Sometimes you don't see it perfectly.
Sometimes you're ayas in the wrong spot, but you can
go create a play. That's why coaches sometimes will pick
(10:57):
a starting quarterback or lean on a guy just has
the ability to create. And Bear has that ability. So
I think the big thing for him is just playball
the way you've always played and then let things play out,
let the chips fall were they made, and if mistakes happened,
just just move on. There's nobody in that building that's
going to be questioning give you pick the right guy.
(11:17):
There's no good like, there's not going to be anybody
that's super disappointed if he makes a mistake. It's just
all part of the process for a young quarterback, and
to just go out and just keep playing, keep slaying them.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
So John this.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I wrote a kind of a long piece of why
I think Bear Bachmer has a good chance to be
successful in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
What does success looks like? Look like?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
If you're a true freshman quarterback this season? Would you say, like,
you know, what are some of like objective data metrics
that you would say, Hey, ideally this is what success
could look like for Bear?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Well, I'm probably not going to jump into data metrics
because a lot of that deals with numbers and outcomes,
and sometimes that's stuff that's out of his control. The
thing I think is he's on a good football team.
So to me, it's going to be the balance between
making some special plays which he's capable of, and balancing
(12:18):
that with being smart and limiting the bad decisions at times.
Young quarterbacks when trying to create plays, they're used to
being able to make certain plays against the high school competition.
Right well, the competition is going to be a bit
better right around on the defensively, guys that he's going
to be going against, and so it's just it's managing
(12:40):
some of those situations within a game of do I
need to try to squeeze this ball in right here?
Or am I in the situation where I just need
to get down, get out of balance, throw the ball
away and allow my team to punt the ball to
them and flip the field. Like it's those type of things.
It's not always about having to make special and plays
(13:00):
all the time. Sometimes it's about managing the situation of
a game and limiting the really costly turnovers or the
bad decisions. And so like I think for Bear it's
gonna be him just understanding the type of team that
he's on and the situation that he's playing in. This
is not a team that is having to go into
games and say, all right, we're gonna have to create
(13:23):
a lot of plays for us to find a way
to beat our opponent. It's gonna be about executing the offense,
understanding the game plan. When the shot opportunity is there,
take it, and when it's not, be smart with the football.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Bear is an interesting personality. I actually chatted with the
Max Hall about the dynamics of personality in the key
leadership position quarterback, and I look at Max and your personalities.
Two different types of players, two different types of personalities,
two different types of skill sets that led by U
two double digit wins and iconic seasons. When you look
(14:03):
at the expansive personalities that have led BYU over the years,
the Aweshucks, Ty deptmer right, the Taysom Hill personality.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
You go back to.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Gifford and Robbie Bosco and all these things, Like what
do you learn?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
You know, what perspective could you provide us?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
You know in regards to the personalities and the skill
sets that lead BYU at the quarterback position and how
that impacts maybe the surrounding play of the team.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Well, you gave a good point of all the different
personalities of all those guys, right, You don't have to
be a certain way. There isn't a formula where you
have to shift your personality to be something you're not,
or you have to be somebody else did had a
lot of success. I mean, just to look at the NFL,
(14:53):
there are tons of quarterbacks that have different levels of
success and like great quarterbacks, and they're all different personality wise,
you know. I think the big thing that they probably
all carry though, that is across the board very similar,
is competitiveness. I think every single guy you named right there,
(15:14):
the ones that I know well and the ones that
I kind of know. I would say all of those
guys carry a level of competitiveness that is very, very high.
So even though the personalities might be different, the competitiveness
is always there. And so for a guy like Bear, Look,
Bear's a bit on the quiet side. He just is,
but I know he's a very very competitive guy, and
(15:36):
he's gonna lead in his own way a lot of
the times. What I've learned about quiet guys is when
they do speak up, everybody's listening. Sometimes the loud guys,
the raw raw guys, always have something to say. Truthfully,
not everybody's listening to everything because they're so accustomed to it.
So sometimes that quiet guy that just goes about his business,
(15:58):
when he does open his mouth and say something, everybody
is listening and keenly aware. And I think that's probably Bear.
Bear is gonna be a bit on the quiet side,
but I know he's super competitive. I know he's very driven,
and I know that when he opens his mouth, the
guys you're gonna listen.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yeah, what's interesting.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
So I've kind of fractured or partition like the three.
I don't know if it's personalities, but three like main
kind of tenets to the personality that I've seen work
at the quarterback position.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I feel like there's there's.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
One personality that's a little bit louder, bodacious, like just
kind of rambunctious. They have like the superiority complex of
like I can do anything. Like they have this this
belief in themselves and they let everybody know about it
in almost an abrasive way. And then you have like
the repetitious individual that is so detail oriented and and
(16:51):
so like judicious about their own individual organizational design and
habits that they repped things out so well and have
you know, failed along the way and had success along
the way, and then they just become desensitized to like
the the moments, right, these big moments, and they're just
(17:12):
so well prepared. And then you have like these emotional
like stoics that are just naturally like not deterred by
these high moments, right. They're just like their biochemistry is
is a certain it's a certain certain formulation where they're
just like even keel all the time. And I'm sure
(17:33):
you've seen so many different personalities and certain individuals that
are that are like that. But like when you kind
of try to partition at What do you see in
these quarterbacks that lead high level teams?
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Well, yeah, I think you So you brought up some
good points as you were talking about certain guys I
was thinking about to my experience, or guys that I
know that are like that. You know, you see some
personalities like a Baker Mayfield, right, a guy that was
a walk on in college, went to Texas Tech. You
know you can say the bravado. Yeah, the way that
he carries himself, right, you know, Jim McMahon, right, like
(18:09):
they kind of fall they kind of fall into that line.
Some other guys like a guy that's going to be
starting for the Cleveland Browns here at age forty, Joe
Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco is not a loud guy. He
was a very quiet guy. When we were at the
Ravens together. The coaching staff was wanting him to stay more,
be more, be louder. And I remember times that he
would been to me like, why are they trying to
have me do this?
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Like I've never been that.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
That's not going to be me. My teammates are going
to know that's fake. Just let me go about my business.
And one thing about Joe was, here's a guy that
would play in the AFC Championship game like four of
his five first years I think in the league, and
he was just had this way about him where nothing
was too big. He was just always calm handled it.
(18:53):
You know, there's a really great book called called Relax
and Win where they were training guys in the military,
and it was a track coach that the military had
brought in and the military was looking for certain traits
and they were getting it wrong. And they were putting
these guys up in these airplanes and wondering like, well,
we were grabbing the guys that test best on paper,
why are they failing in the air in critical moments.
(19:16):
And he goes, well, it's because you're grabbing the wrong guys.
You're grabbing the guys that get too elevated in those
high intensity moments. You want the guys that actually have
the ability to just have a natural calmness. And he
said it's the brook trout look. Put them into those
really pressure packed, high intense situations and when you look
at that their face, there is no arousal, there's no
(19:38):
heightened pressure or anything from them. They're just handling it
like any other place. And you mentioned that in your
quarterback description, and that's how I view Joe Flacco. Like
it didn't matter if it was practice or the AFC Championship.
Joe literally looked like the same guy you know. And
I think though that there is a natural attraction of
(19:59):
people on it team two certain guys in terms of
that is our leader, and it doesn't mean you have
to lead the same way. But I think there's an
honesty and integrity to your personality style, and then when
that is also teamed up with drive, a willingness to
give a lot, people in the building can sense it
and see it. When you are giving a lot for
(20:21):
a purpose, when you're driven to put in extra time,
when the attention to your craft, players can feel it
and see it. Those things matter probably more than what
comes out of your mouth. It's what you do. And
so I think those are some of the attributes that,
regardless of personality style, have to show up. When people
(20:42):
see an extremely talented guy that carries himself with all
this confidence, and he comes across as super confident, but
he's one of the first guys out of the building.
He's one of the last guys to show up in
the morning, barely before meetings. He's not really studious in
what he's doing, and at times he's making mistakes during
the week because he hasn't studied his game plan. It
doesn't matter how talented or how confident you carry yourself.
(21:04):
Guys just aren't going to follow that. They're gonna follow
the guy who's whose characteristics, his patterns, his behaviors and
habits exude the type of person that they want to
follow on the football field.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Love that perspective that only you can give John Beck
Quarterback Scientists, three DQB Train, three DQB dot com. I
do want to let everybody know that's listening. If you
have quarterbacks within the walls of your home, three QB
has a great in season.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Program for you. If you want to watch film, shoot,
is it only quarterbacks? Stewart?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Do you can you watch film with other kids and
and their parents when they're they're they're struggling with something
hub qub.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
She Here's the thing I will say that I have
had done. I mean, I've done a number of work
with athletes in different sports. I've worked with girls soccer,
girls softball, basketball, baseball, just because of the mental performance
side of things. I love the sports psychology aspect, and
it's just really the experience that athletes go through and
(22:07):
how there's similar things that they experience despite the difference
in sports. So much of what a person feels when competing, participating, auditioning,
those type of things, earning a spot, being benched, being cut,
being told you the basketup, like, there's all this myriaut
of experiences that happen that are so similar across sports.
(22:27):
And so because of that, I'll get reached out by,
you know, somebody that knows somebody that I worked with,
and they say, hey, my daughter is a soccer player,
or hey, my nephew. I was talking to my brother
his son he's going through this. He's a basketball player,
and you talk to his son who was a quarterback.
Is there any way you can talk to him? And
so really it's just it's about everybody can benefit from
(22:49):
the acquisition raiser understanding of what is happening in their
mind and their body throughout this experience of sports, and
as they understand themselves better and what they're experiencing. A
lot of the times it's just being okay with what
you're experiencing is normal. So many kids chalk it up
as I wish I didn't feel like this, or this
(23:11):
must mean I'm not going to perform well, or I'm
having anxiety because I feel this way. Well, the reality
is you're experiencing something normal, that the physiological makeup of
your body, what it's going through, is preparing you to
actually go out and perform. It's not wrong. You don't
need to chalk that up. As I'm feeling feelings that
don't feel comfortable, start viewing those as this is a
(23:35):
normal process. As my body goes into something that I
care about, something that I trained a lot for, so
it feels like a lot is on the line. That's normal. Now,
let's talk about what you can do when you feel
those normal feelings once you've normalized them. Now, let's put
a plan together so you have some tools to now
better prepare yourself for what happens next.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Love that perspective.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Guys, connect with trained John at train three DQB dot
com if you're a quarterback or just looking for that
mental edge. I got one last thing for John before
we let you go. I'm writing a piece I'm gonna
publish at ksel dot com. I also put out an
ex tweet about this why I believe bear Bachmayer has
a good chance, a solid chance of being successful in
twenty twenty five. And then I want you to reflect,
(24:20):
as I'm going through all these components, if you could
go back in time and take one or two of these,
what would have been the most impactful for you to
be successful immediately as a true freshman when you had
to lead BYU once upon a time.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
So this is what I said.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Four star recruit nationally recognize he had offers from E
lead purpose. He's got good clay Right Alabama, Georgia, Michigan,
Notre Dame, Oregon, Texas A and M Stanford Utah VYU,
amongst others.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
He's got dual threat ability six two to twenty five.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
He's got a good build, comes from a football family,
high football IQ that means something gained early college experience
at Stanford during springball, giving him some familiarity with the
personnel and base schemes of Stanford.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
That's game two. That's a nice notch at his belt.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I guess described as brilliant for Aaron Roderick and his
high school coach said, he's got a photographic memory. First
six games are all winnable. MBA should be favored actually
needs matchup. Three of the first games. First six games
are at home in Lavelle Edwards Stadium. Week three by
allows for maybe early adjustment, correction and recovery, avoids immediate
(25:22):
matchups against the toughest Big twelve defenses that are on
that seven, eight, nine, ten, You know game weeks supporting
cast l J. Martin, Sioni, Moa, Chase Roberts, Parker Kingston,
Jojo Phillips, Cody Hagen. You got Carson Ryan and keaneid
tenured offensive line with multiple returning starters. You have a
projected top twenty five defense, projected top twenty five special
(25:44):
teams unit. You have Kilane's culture and consistency, allowing for
more stability and less volatility within the team in regards
to their roles identity. Offensive coordinator has a solid recent
track record of developing young quarterbacks within his architecture, continuity
of offensive staff up in scheme, so stability for a
young quarterback is beneficial. Quarterback friendly system with play action, rhythm,
(26:06):
prows and design mobility, Lavelle Edwards always provides a significant
home field advantage. You get six of those new strength
and conditioning program that has helped the team healthier late
in the season. The last two years, you do have
increased depth, I think with the Big twelve brand, and
you've been able to reload, and then you have vet
friend leadership and culture on the roster, creating a supportive
(26:28):
environment for fresh and QB. If you could take a
couple of those from two you can comment on any
of them, But if you could take a couple of those,
which ones would have been most beneficial to you when
you were a true freshman starter coming off of me?
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Well, look, I think those are all great. This is awesome.
I mean, really, what we need to do is say
what a great situation that BIU has provided for a
freshman quarterback. Not all freshman quarterbacks get to come into
situations with all of those things going for them. You
really need to help young quarterbacks by what you have
established around them to assistency, opportunities for growth, help around
(27:03):
them when they might not be at their best or
when they might not see things. So like, how cool
is it that Byu was in a place to help
support and lift up a freshman player? And I believe
bears a really talented kid, and I think it's going
to be a great opportunity for him. When I look
back on my experience as a freshman, there were things.
You know that I missed three football seasons because of
(27:25):
my mission. Ideally we were hoping to only miss two.
But back in those days, you know the whole when
you put your mission call in, when you got your
mission call, Like I was trying to leave the beginning
of August, I ended up getting called for November, so
I missed an additional football season. Would it have been
great to not have missed so much football before I
started as a freshman. Absolutely. I think one of the
(27:48):
things that's been great for Bear. I mean I followed
Bear for years. His stat lines. The kid's been throwing
the ball thirty forty times a game, sometimes fifty times
a game for a number of years. All of that
equals experience in situational decision making. As a quarterback, you
have to know what it feels like to manage tons
of situations with the ball in your hands. I loved
(28:11):
the high school I went to the Mountain Dewtros. We
were a great football team. We had a ton of success,
but we probably only threw the ball over twenty times
in a game. Twice the whole time I was there.
Most of the time, it was between ten and fifteen,
and we had a great running game. So situationally, when
I got to college football, one of the biggest things
I had to learn and I needed to gain more
(28:32):
experience in was those situational decision making with the ball
in my hand, beginning as a passer and managing more
first and second downs and then leading to third down
decision making as a passer. Scheme wise, is another thing,
Like all of those things were very new. So as
I look to the landscape of college football and high
school football and what it is right now, I think
(28:54):
high school football players received such better instruction in terms
of the the scheme and the play that these kids
are running in high school or preparing them to be
able to step in earlier. It's not such a big
jump schematically. I just remember that feeling when I first
got to Gary Croton's offense. I was a I was
so excited because, man, this is amazing. I've always dreamed
(29:16):
in playing of a system like this, but I hadn't
experienced a system like that in terms of what was
being asked of me, and so it was the very
very new. I think bear in this situation is bringing
a lot of experience in a system he ran in
high school and also what he has probably experienced that
at Stanford. That's going to help him be successful as
(29:37):
a young football player. So much of that at quarterback
is about vision. What have your eyes seen, your mind process,
and your body experience in terms of what's happening around you.
You can't just watch it on TV or or look
at a playbook and then drop yourself in there and
expect to do everything right. You have to experience that.
(29:58):
And so when I look back at my as a
young player, it was the need to experience that type
of an offense, all of those things, having really been
out of football for three football seasons.

call is eight oh one eight five zero ninety one hundred.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
That's right, eight oh one to a five zero ninety
one hundred Advanced Windows dot Com. I do want to
ask you a football question real quick here, Nate BYU
is going to be trying out a true freshman quarterback.
Now they project that they have a good supporting cast
around him offensively, defensively, and on special teams. What are
are are our typical characteristics of a successful football team
(32:31):
that is trotting out a true freshman at quarterback.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
How much optimism should there be in provo right now?
Do you think?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Oh, you know, it's always a tough get a lotet
scary position and being especially as a true true freshman
quarterback right coming in. You know, the biggest thing you
do as far as the pass support him is to
keep it simple, right, keep a simple, keep the offense simple,
allow him to go out and execute short game, you know,
execute the run game. But with that, you know, as
(33:02):
a true freshman, you really don't know and see step
on the field and those bright lights are shining on
you and you're you're you're getting live shots from the
defense and things are going one hundred miles per hour.
All you can do is just keep the offense simple
for a kid like that and allow him to go
out and.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Play the games.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Yeah, it's uh, it's tough to try out a true freshman,
even if it is a four star high level three
star quarterback with a lot of talent and a build.
You know, I mean, I think bear six two six
two and a half two twenty five has a dual
thread to ability. Uh, I'm sure a rod's gonna run
up a little bit. You're familiar with how a Rod
calls the game. Why does he like his dual threat quarterbacks?
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Yeah, he loves those quarterbacks that can be versatile, you
know in the pocket when things start to break down,
or you know that can that can just get you
out of situations where if they are bringing those glitz,
that can scramble outside of the pocket and create some
plays on his feet, whether it's you know, finding somebody
deep with the with the deep cross or using his
(34:01):
legs to get that first out to keep the offensive
live alive.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
A Rod does a.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Really good job of just again putting guys in the
positions to be successful. Most importantly, and once you get
a duel certain quarterback like like Bear, I mean, he's
what you're wanting and you're you're licking your tops as
far as hey, here's a kid that can can do
something special for us.

(37:38):
Health mentioned I senscha gamedaymenshealth dot Com. All right, let's
get into a bear bachmeer, Ladies and gentlemen, what was
your reaction when you became QB one.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
Bear, Yeah, I was thrilling. It was a I mean,
it was a great moment. It's any credit waterer to
represent such a profound university, and you know, obviously being
on the football team, it's any credit waterer.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
It's an incredible honor. There's been so many great quarterbacks
that have come through b YU.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
He gets to be a part of that legacy, that
quarterback factor, that QBU factory. What was your confidence level
when you got to BOU that you could win the
job there?
Speaker 7 (38:15):
Yeah, you always want to be confident in yourself and
your ability.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
You know.
Speaker 6 (38:20):
I think I think with the support cast coach Mitchell
and coach a Rod and you know, even the quarterbacks
in the room, elevating everybody's game. But yeah, I would
say that my confidence level was was pretty high.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Look, he was competing for QB one at Stanford. You
could make an argument that he would have beat out
go Branson at Stanford. Of course he came into b
YU thinking he should compete for the job. Now what
expectations has a Rod set for you now that you
are the starting quarterback?
Speaker 6 (38:52):
Yeah, I mean the expectation is to I mean to
win a championship, you know, you know, I think I
think the individual expectation is, you know, we want we
want to complete the ball, We want to put put
the ball in in our playmaker's hands, and you know,
we want to go score touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
You know.
Speaker 7 (39:08):
But the Bengals is to win a championship.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Win a championship, a Big twelve championship. What's the level
of optimism and kugarnation right now that Bear Bachmeyer can.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Lead you to a Big twelve championship.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
I think cautiously optimistic is an accurate depiction. Now moving
on to number four SoundBite. When the team was told
you were going to be the guy, can you describe
that moment and what reaction there was from the team?
Speaker 7 (39:37):
Yeah, the support has been second to none.
Speaker 6 (39:40):
I mean when when you know the quote unquote leaders
of the team are are you know, happy and and
you know just gravitating towards you and you know it's special,
you know, and we got a great team and I
think we're gonna go really far.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Hey, Uh, optimism hope runs eternal in provo, even with
a true freshman quarterback. And you're hearing uh this uh,
this optimism even coming from the locker room and from
your QB one. Now take us behind the scenes. Bear,
when you were named the starter, who was the first
person you called? Did your phone blow up?
Speaker 2 (40:15):
By chance? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (40:17):
I mean it was It was a surreal moment. You know,
it was very special.
Speaker 6 (40:20):
I kind of stayed off my phone that whole day,
and and we we just finished practice, so kind of
getting getting my cool down on and uh, you know,
getting in the tubs. So I mean, I wasn't really
looking at my phone, but I probably probably called my
dad after and you know, told him the deal.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
So was cool.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
So I find this is a this is a case
study for high level behavior of high level athletes. The
fact that Bear did not engage in any interaction apart
from his call to his father, I think speaks speaks,
(41:05):
you know, so much to.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
Who he is as a football player, who he is
as a as a leader.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
Many people would go right to their phone and begin
responding right social media text messages.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
The phone's blowing up.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
He distanced himself from technology, went into recovery mode, got
in the cold, bat did some recovery at the training room.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
You know, probably got some food in his body.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Level set didn't get enamored and infatuated and entrenched in
all the likes, all the congratulations.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
It's just a part of who he is. I think
that's a fantastic sign.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
I am an individual even though I have to reside
in social media with my platform, and I use it
a little bit differently than I would say maybe a
student athlete would, right, And I have some you know,
some some experience under my belt. But like I am
of the of the opinion that student athletes, more often
than I should not be on social media, should not
(42:09):
be over really engaged in technology unless you can outsource
it entirely so you're not having.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
To be distracted by it.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
And I don't think bear Bachmeier is distracted by all
of those yeah, all the pop circumstance hype that surrounds
him within the fan base on social media on the outside. Either,
that's a good sign. In fact, I think it's a
fantastic sign of things to come. Now, if you were
able to announce to Kugarnation, how how would you introduce
(42:40):
yourself to the fan base and what's your go to tune?
Speaker 2 (42:43):
By chance?
Speaker 6 (42:44):
Bear, Yeah, I like the like the thing. I'm I'm
a pretty outgoing guy. And and I like playing the guitar.
So I just I like having fun, and uh, you know,
I like the thing. I'm a good football player too. Yeah,
I like playing the guitar and just just having fun,
fun with the guys. So I think, yeah, I didn't
think that's that. That's that wagon wheel. I like playing
(43:04):
that one.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
I just think it's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
He's got this aw shucks attitude that we discussed yesterday.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
Low key nice guy. Like playing Settlers of Katan Katan.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
I don't know what it's called. I've never played it before,
Like playing my guitar. A good football player, that's me.
Has your older brother Hank given you any advice? Moving
on to number seven? Here has Hank Bachmeyer, the guy
that threw for I think over eleven thousand yards, is
a college football player giving you any advice since you've
been named the starter bear?
Speaker 7 (43:41):
Yeah, especially especially my brother.
Speaker 6 (43:43):
I mean he's he's played college football for six years
and he's got a lot of experience. So just being
a sponge with him, you know, I'm very fortunate to
have him, And yeah, he's he's helped out immensely. And
and yeah, the support of my family is second to none.
And I mean, I love him so much and just
trying to make them.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
Gotta make them priude to you.
Speaker 1 (44:02):
It takes a village, It takes a lot of mentor's case,
a master sometimes to bring you along at a more
advanced pace. And I think Hank and obviously bears family,
the rest of Sambit's father, et cetera, have aided.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
Him in that effort.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
So number eight here, you've only been on campus since
June or July. How are you able to learn the
playbook so quickly? Were there late night cram sessions.
Speaker 7 (44:27):
It was a big test.
Speaker 6 (44:28):
It's a big testament to coach Mitchell and and coach
ay Rod. I met with coach Coach Mitchell. I mean
almost every day, you know, install one, Install two, and
so three and so forth. So I think me learning
the playbook, you know, I give I give a lot
of credit to Coach Mitchell because I mean he taught
me the whole playbook and you know, a month, two months,
(44:51):
and and you know, just yeah, and then I had
extra hours to kind of memorize and regurgitate the information.
But I mean I I test, I test the learning
process to Coach Mitchell. He's he helped out immensely.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
Matt Mitchell.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
Tom Homo responded to a video I believe posted by
Sean Walker of KSL dot com, one of the co
host contributors here on our platform, and he said, uh,
remember the name, And I said, eminem.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Before it's actually a fort minor. Remember the name. I
didn't want to jump in and correct you, but I
didn't want to make you look bad. But I I,
you can correct me. No, you shouldn't correct me. Sounded
very similar. Remember the name was actually fort minor.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
Yeah, and that came out I think like like two
thousand and six or something like that. I should know
that I shouldn't have messed that up. But yeah, remember
the name. Uh oh my, that was a big swing
and a miss for me.
Speaker 4 (45:54):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Uh, Matt Mitchell, remember the name? Who is he?
Speaker 1 (45:59):
The assistant quarterbacks coach for the Cougar football team. He's
been with us since well, he's with us in twenty
twenty and made a little bit of cash, a little
bit of hay over at Baylor and then came back
twenty twenty two to President. Matt Mitchell typically behind the
scenes but doing great work for the Cougars and Bear
Bachmeyer gives him a tip of the cap for getting
(46:21):
him up to speed on the playbook. All right, last thing,
you've worked with John Beck in your high school career.
Who asked this question, what has he done to further
your game in high school and your time at BYU.
Speaker 6 (46:37):
Yeah, he's done a great deal. I mean, he's such
a great resource to utilize. Yeah, I started training with
him when I was in seventh grade, and I don't
want to nerd out, but you know, we get into
the weeds of biomechanics and you know, trying to refine
my kinematic sequence. And actually just just called him last
week about you know, his process going into going into
(46:58):
game days and you know what it is from Sunday
to Friday night. And so yeah, he's just been in
a great resource and very grateful for him.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Have it.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
That's look and look we had have made that announcement
weeks ago that Bear Bachmeyer had been training with John
Beck throughout his young young teams and into young adulthood
throughout high school. And so that boat's well for for Brigham.
That boats well for why you should be optimistic about
(47:31):
Bear Bachmeyer as your as your starting quarterback.
Speaker 2 (47:35):
In the weeks to come.
Speaker 1 (47:36):
So we'll see how twenty twenty five plays out with
Bear at the Helm. But that's a little player profile,
little get to know you with Bear Bachmeyer. Great segment,
and you know, we appreciate Bear hopping up to the
mic and you know, hitting some home runs. I thought
there were some great quotes from Bear. You know, I
wouldn't say he's he's one that wants to be in
(47:58):
front of a microphone, but he feels perfectly comfortable being
in front of the microphone. So get into the game
