Could I Make America’s #1 Ranked High School?

Could I Make America’s #1 Ranked High School?

this is IMG Academy the most renowned high school in America and last time we were here we were blown away by what they had to offer their students so this time I’m actually going to test my skills and see if I have what it takes to make it at IMG so we decided to come back not only for an updated tour but to find out the truth about what it’s like to go here and answer some of your guys’ questions and if you need a refresher of what they have to offer well this is what they got 56 tennis courts a 5,000 seed football stadium and 18-hole Golf Course six baseball fields two 10,000 ft weight rooms and this time we’re putting all of those facil to use so let’s start by seeing the most insane high school locker room I have ever seen I don’t think that’s how that works you look like it from Star Wars yeah that’s what I was to say line up dude let to run some [Music] routes oh Jersey right here number 17 slide that one off shout out col out of respect they won’t put it on but this is tough oh we got the flag right there so what we’re going to do is like in the five things we do it’ll be me vers him for points today we’re going to be competing with the IMG players in five different sports first we’ll start with football in their Stadium then to basketball in their indoor arena golf at img’s own driving range lifting in their state-of-the-art weight room and lastly wole ball with a special appearance from an MLB Legend and World Series champion who will join us at the very end the teams will be me and Cass versus Leo and Noah in the winning Duo it’s a full shopping spree to the IMG Team Store at the end of the video so first let’s hit the football field what you say brother brother Brotherhood so we got to warm up with a mile right run around the track o I’ll lead you on stretches yeah all right here we go here we go ready reach down get into that H I like starting with hammies yeah I I like start bottom up bottom up just go [Music] highness all right

wins early we’re good that’s one that’s one so how you feeling have to challenge one dude I’m cooked I’m seriously cooked this might go wrong although Leo and Noah took the first win of the day we still have four more challenges to see who gets the IMG shopping spree so our next challenge will be 2v2 basketball in their beautiful indoor arena which sits across campus next to their tennis courts the 56 tennis courts start here right6 tennis what is this isn’t it insane this is a high school this is actually insane I’ve always heard about IMG like I’ve seen like watch like basketball highlights of like IMG players and stuff like that line with palm trees pools everywhere really lives up to the hype um I can’t believe this is a high school and when Matt mentions pools and palm trees he’s talking specifically about their student housing we toured it last time but pretty much a large majority of the students live in this apartment style building with pools basketball courts a smoothie bar and that sits right next to the driving range which we’ll see later for our golf Challenge and before we get in the gym we got to take a look at some of the new displays added since last time we were there oh yeah we’re back here another light up sign oh is the uh D1 wall updated at all no UCLA Pepperdine no this is actually really cool this is the first time I’ve seen it too so notable alumni says it up there and then here’s all the names I mean they they have it next to the players but this is all like crazy the list I didn’t know Zack he was here oh Zack was here yeah Zack I didn’t know that that poster thing was here yo this is crazy they got this turned around quick he just won this you should have seen the game against uh Julian Newman’s team his senior year they had a game against each other and it was just a complete blowout but it was you can see it on YouTube I think the highlights are on there but n but this is so sick that’s crazy yeah going get us a little workout of course they’re going to put us with the Jumbotron up there be so funny if we could like the highlights up on the jumbo ton or something slowmo just falling Y imagine D with the ball yo you

so once for hits yeah on that I’ll be 66 don’t worry now we’re down to real talk real talk we’re the biggest man we are the biggest guys on the court come on let’s just back back let’s play our size all right me and you are just going to pick and go like we are doing just play the paint I don’t care if you have to get an elbow on there body we just got to keep running it running the offense like we are make a couple shots couple going in once they fall our way we’re feeling good about a win need four more points four more oh yeah let’s do it yeah we’re done shooting the ball it hasn’t been working great I don’t think what we over yeah over from the stripes so let’s just play with grp like tough no we don’t lose I don’t lose we don’t care who’s on that side this is a win whistle de all

let’s go that’s two baby that’s two that’s two we like that we need a come back boys hey we let him get the first we’re let them gas themselves out I’m feel great so now to lunch you better fuel up just not just not built for the basketball you know but about a come hey we got golf next got that in the bag that’s going to go really bad I’m going to be completely honest we’re going to have to give that one away Focus for the next thing dude I’m game for giving that one all the way cuz we have 2 baby come on now fortunately I couldn’t get the dub on that one down 02 figure things out and then uh we’ll lock back in for the next three matchups cuz I want to win that shopping spren we’ll win the we’ll win the golf one let’s go yeah we’ll win we’ll win the golf we win the and then the blitz ball I mean that’s money yeah that’s me cuz I’m holding up the champion yeah and then you’re you’re facing the right there and after basketball it was time to fuel up at IMG state-ofthe-art Student Center when we were here in January this building had just opened last time we had the burgers but this time we wanted to try something new so let’s test out the chicken wow after you finish J 8.1 that’s like really good I actually like that a lot yeah 79 it wasn’t as good as W Burgers give him 85 I’ll give like an 82 81 and speaking of last time a ton of you guys had questions about what it’s really like to be a student at IMG so I asked you guys on Instagram to ask some questions for No One Cass to answer during our lunch break so you guys really know what it’s like to go there the attending IMG put a lot of pressure on students to perform both in school and Sports in my opinion no it’s just however the person is able to handle both and balance it out so as long as you find that perfect balance point there should be no pressure on you at all other than do what you need to do on your day-to-day basis yes we do have baseball practice there’s a rehab option at 1:00 where we go see Kelly shout out Kelly she’s like the only trainer that we have that like strictly works with baseball usually 115 or 130 is our movement put up into our teams we have individual defense do whatever we got to do and then right after that we have BP on field Saturday we practice like at 8:00 a.m. sometimes we’ll get it off but majority time we had it every Saturday first in the afternoon is like I saw it like like I saw oh you weren’t speaking English no three casss a day you’ll have six in all May 7 for some people yeah you start from 7:40 you go all the way to 11:20 depending on if you have a a free period at school you’re there for 3 and 1/2 hours 4 practice including the lift and everything on the schedule like what four 5 hours yeah we kind of know that we’re not normal or like we’re not a normal school not a lot of schools have like 3 to 4 hours of school and then in the afternoon it’s just straight sport you kind of learn how to like embrace it the aspect of um IMG trying to prepare you for college just like a College schedule take your class in the morning or whatever schedule we have uh sport in the afternoon and um after it in the in the way room and on the field too so uh the dorms are open for any everyone that’s an option of living on campus or living off campus sixth sixth gr it used to be K but that was before like the whole shout out Stone Russell I know you’ve been here since kindergarten and um you’re probably born in that John Hopkins Hospital [Music] but yeah just another another day I’ve never been on the IMG range this is yeah this is the this is my first time all right you got to win this I do have to win this we’re down 2 and if I lose 3 that’s just embarrassing everything else is for nothing so I want the shopping spree for our golf challenge it’ll once again be me and Cass versus Leo and Noah and this time we’ll take three swings and the average distance of each swing is our team score so pretty much whoever hits it further wins the point for this round so let’s begin woo like a nuke but I wasn’t I don’t know was 179 179 oh yeah shers but 185 nice that was a s that felt pretty good 196 let’s go wow my average was [Music] 186.65 that could have saved her yo we got one more the average oh if you get another like 200 I think you could win I’ll give you a Mullan on that one there you go oh my god4 which brings your average your average was 167 so was that behind you what was his so now IMG [Applause] boys that was pretty good 261 that ain’t bad let’s go let’s do it that’s my partner I think we were good on this one oh yeah I don’t even know that was 24949 uh ah 250 260 hey that’s tough wo i madean 200 I mean the exit speed is still not bad was 190 190 190 dang it two oh yo wait 206 and 142.5 we win two to one oh next is the weight room we’re going to have some fun there said there now and after finally getting the board and golf thanks to Cass we had me and Leo in a weightlifting challenge so we headed over to img’s wait room and Brian Walker their assistant director of strength and conditioning gave us a quick tour of what IMG has to offer their athletes and let me just say they have the most high-tech facility I think I’ve ever seen at any level of sports including a full Gatorade fuel station which we had to check out first up man can I get a protein bar please thanks man yeah have a good one guys me to let’s go these are so good it’s funny like everything kind of Whirlwind especially kind of started with you guys of like worldwind of like people really like dude what do you guys got going on over there cuz obviously everybody sees our weight room there was like a count at one point compared to our waight room to NFL weight room there’s like a Mystique about it you know Absolut I think people also get caught off guard by like actually the number of athletes we have so we have 1500 athletes that kind of come through here we have our other weight room on the other side kind of having that many athletes we need the space that’s connected to the box that actually shoots all that information into the cloud so for me we’re able to be on there and kind of monitor the stuff from our computer it shows the whole workout so it tells them what to do how many reps how many sets and all that stuff yeah without a doubt having all this Tech do we need it no but is it nice that we have it absolutely like he’s at a playground so this is our bubble so the thing that’s nice obviously being like in Florida it gets hot dude it gets super hot so this is probably where people are probably going to get mad as us so this is our third weight room in here we have 18 racks everything that we have back there we got Med balls we got kettle bells we got the same cable machines and all that stuff so I love these kids man I want them to be successful when it comes to work it’s like work hard what you want so for me it’s like having the opportunity to do that every single day dude nothing [Music] better and then in here we have our WHL pool so the thing that’s cool about these we have our cold whirl pool here we also have an underwater treadmill over there so is that a TV in the yeah so the thing that’s cool about that TV is that there’s also a camera underneath looking at the treadmill so you can see how you’re running and you can actually get like the feedback again getting thatc feedback what you guys could do I was thinking a pullup test see how many pull-ups you can get I even know if we can get up there they know when they do a pull up how far do you need to go down all the way down head between the head between the arms and then pull yourself all the way up yeah heck yeah powdered up got the all right here we go let’s go one come on two here we go baby yes sir three oh boy on four get out there come on five come on six one more come on come on a six yes sir number to be six baby let’s go baby come on knock it out one little lower little lower come on baby come on wasn’t full five five full death you got six all the way full he wins the CH that’s a dub it was tough to call but I ultimately came away with the point in round four so going into whiffle ball it was officially 2 to2 so we went over to their baseball complex and met up with a special guest World Series champion and former Red Sox pitcher and caz’s Dad Koji UI har how’s it going I’m Dan good to meet you yeah Dan how’s it going great to meet you meet you it’s a pleasure rules for a wole ball game are simple two innings with Koji as alltime pitcher but he has an option to pinch it if he wants you’ll see when that comes into play later and again it’ll be me and Cass versus Noah and Leo and the winner of this game gets the shopping spree so after we’ll hit the IMG team store but first let’s play ball and that reminds me we’re actually only 50,000 subscribers away from passing the Los Angeles Dodgers on YouTube so if you guys aren’t subscribed already I would really appreciate if you go and just hit the button it would mean a lot to us so with that let’s go finish the challenge oh my God strike was was that’s a big swing ohou foul foul ball foul ball right oh that’s nice oh for one against my pops he’s got nothing he’s got nothing I saw breze back here I suck taking Ki deep first swing oh good swing yeah down the line baby double single single oh oh my God spin it double play one run no no no no that’s that’s a r that’s routine that’s a slow roller hey what Ki said double play he’s alltime pitcher should have been double down the line I’ll say hey should have could have what two outs let’s go is that is that the check swing hit I haven’t had those in a [Music] while with a TR no [Applause] it what a play I’m going over right now I need a hit you got to jump on the ones that they’re slow even if they’re out of the zone oh good you want H Bo I got that oh yeah that’s a double that’s a double Frozen row all right home R come on home [Music] R that’s a big swing that was not a change up oh that’s a run that moves him that moves him it’s up to koi two outs he needs to score run here all about this is the [Applause] story [Music] oh for 95 years the red champion [Applause] yes yes yeah all right so koi just hit an absolute tank to walk it off we win the challenge you already know I guess you guys win and I owe you a shopping spree now rules are 60 seconds to get as much stuff as he want so I’ll start the timer once you grab your first item IMG Academy shirt we all love dry fits timer go so we got an IMG backpack cuz we can’t have gear and not have a bag this is great if you guys can tell right now this is all for you Leo doesn’t need this thank you guys what was your best moment at IMG man best part of IM best moment what’s your best moment it’s definitely like the friends in the group I surround myself with friends definitely feel like family so and then um you know getting taken Deep by my dad on the Little League field that was probably a big memory to have too so you know I’ll always have that in the back pocket at the end of the day koi gave us a signed Blitz ball and a sign card from the 2013 season which
