The official Twitter feed of the Canadian (Texas) Wildcats & Lady Cats Update & Review on Facebook. Bringing you all of the action from the Wildcat Nation!
@lancelahnert The Box was like a second home during my elementary years into middle school. My cousins played varsity BB for the Quitaque Panthers and we ended up at The Box for the Regional Class B tourney year-after-year-after-year.
@lancelahnert I hate to break this to you @lancelahnert , but those cones aren’t retired, they’re on vacation. They will be back on the job somewhere, sometime soon.
The Choice
To Tear Down or Build Up
Am I a builder as I work with care?
Measuring life by the ruler and the square.
Am I shaping my deeds to a well laid plan?
Carefully doing the best I can.
Or am I a wrecker as I walked to town?
Content with the labor of tearing down.
Get up every day and be the best you can be.
Be the best in the world at giving your all for every second of every minute.
You can do no more than that, never let the music die in you.
We have been given this day to do with as we choose.
Let’s choose to have a positive impact
@lancelahnert Wouldn’t these kids have to 18 years old to enter into a contract? Otherwise, are they willing to bring the parents into this for legal purposes?
You get to decide who you will be in this world.
You are a product of your environment, so choose the environment that will best develop you towards your objective.
Analyze your life in terms of your environment. Are the things around you helping you towards success?

Canadian is a special place in all areas… Great people. Great tradition. Great place to raise a family. Great community that supports all programs & wants the absolute best for all kids. @CanadianISD is at the center of it all.
We have our head SB & assistant SB positions open.
Big news here.. @lamesa_isd has named @Boston_Hudson2 as new boys basketball coach. Hudson leaves Clarendon after four years and two state titles. Here’s the story #txhsbb https://t.co/sLel4yMCOF
@AnneMJackson1@KaleSteed Oh, they’ll be back. It’s just a good thing that the consolidation that birthed Valley High prevents them from trying to pronounce Quitaque.
Mission command continued…
1. clearly defined goal
2. The resources
3. The timeframe
Then it is up to the individuals in the field. A clear understanding of the leaders?intention, & the right training are key to the implementation of mission command.
Then, trust each other.
We live our lives in a VUCA world…
Volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous.
When you are are in a position to see the big picture, most times you don’t have all the details.
Train your people and trust your people to be confident and make great decisions in the moment.

Happy Monday.
Responsibility… Pass the ball… Leaders create leaders.
Work hard to enable & empower the individual by trusting them with responsibility for success of the team.
Leaders create leaders by passing on responsibility, creating ownership, accountability, & trust.
Play with Purpose!
Our fundamental human drive comes from within – from intrinsic rather than extrinsic motivations.
I love this quote… My army won because they knew what they were fighting for, & loved what they knew.
Great teams feel a sense of purpose & personal connection.
Yes…
“It’s hugely important to the current guys who carry the responsibility – because their job is to add to the legacy.”
When you have a group of people who have that stewardship, to Try and make it a better team to pass on to the next generation, that is when you have IT.
Ubuntu…
This African idea is all about others.
It can roughly be translated as “I am, because we are”.
I understand it to mean that any of our individual goals and efforts should be to help our community be better.
That our actions affect everyone, not just us!

Do you have something that gets you up and going every single day?
Maybe suffer some inconvenience?
Maybe sacrifice because it drives you?
What’s that thing?
It is the answer to the question, Why?
Figure that out and let it drive you and then start sharing it with others.
