Imane Khelif is a biological woman and if you want to protect our daughters, you should protect her. If you don’t do the research to find the truth, then we should be protected from you.

BadAss Head Coaches give praise in public to assistants and players ( sometimes even when losing)and take the blame when things go wrong. They win players and coaches loyalty and trust by being “ stand up” leaders. It’s easy to lead when all is good…Real leaders rise in crisis.

Congrats/You won a huge game/So what/I’m sorry/You lost a huge game/So what/The only thing that ever matters in life is your response…You won? Get better! You lost? Get better! Control what u can control…See the details…Be honest…Fix what is fixable. Then laugh. Life’s short

My kids read every day. They practice music every day. They are expected to work hard and get good grades. Elites who act like such expectations are oppressive to public school students are, frankly, being hypocrites, unless they don’t hold their own children to them.

Happy to help. School choice is a trick in which the best and worst students are sneakily sorted into different schools which then receive credit or blame, respectively, for differences in outcomes that are mainly selection effects.

I would take a job with nothing in place, but with a principal who's willing to do everything in his power to win, rather than a job with everything and a guy who doesn't care. Apathy is man's greatest peril.

We all got into coaching because we love the game. We stayed in coaching because we love the players. Coaching is more than wins and losses, it’s about impacting young people and changing lives. It doesn’t matter if you’ve coached 50 years or just finished your first season,

Billionaires are trying to close our public schools with something called private school vouchers. They say it’ll help poor kids go to private schools. They call it “school choice.” It all sounds so noble. But vouchers are the biggest scam I’ve ever seen.

Hs kids w/offers you should be committing. You have NO leverage right now. You are going against the portal which includes D1, D2, D3, NAIA players with experience, JC guys with extra eligibility. Unless you a 5 star with guaranteed offers & nil plan. You need to lock in asap!

Even so, we need to recognize that most outcomes in education are the result of selection effects. Who your students are matters a whole lot more than what you do to educate them.

It’s very different game now. Kids and parents: do not be deceived, no high school coach, club coach, or street agent can impact the market. If your chasing a “scholarship” or “exposure”, your fooling yourself. Stay in the moment and master that. That’s the only path forward.

This is such an important consideration when thinking about how learning happens. It's not about being a luddite or a technophobe or being wedded to the past, or not embracing change; it's about recognising that handwriting has a markedly different impact on the brain.

I have coached for more than three decades, and I can tell you this with absolute certainty. The greatest win of all is a player who walks out of your program better than he walked in. Not just a better athlete, but a better man. That is the win that matters most.
