Showing up matters
Body language matters
Doing your job matters
Empowering others matters
Eye contact matters
Firm handshakes matter
Giving your all matters
Keeping your word matters
Putting team first matters

EVERYTHING you do MATTERS!

@SpecialOlympiPA @BestBuddiesPA @SOAllegheny Good evening. As a Special Ed. teacher & father to a son w/ autism, I have always thought about starting an inclusive rugby program. I have a dream of establishing a unified flag rugby program in the Pittsburgh area. DM me for info.

Our organizational goal is to work along side football teams, coaches & players so that there is no disruption to weight training in the Spring, while working on conditioning & a variety of transferable skills on their off days. DM us to open the lines of communication. #WinWin

Congratulations to the Varsity Boys of the @kvrugbyclub on their @rugby_pa 2019 State Championship. Great to see this group of boys win it all again their senior year. Many of them where around on the Junior Team when I coached at KV. #RepTheWest #EarnTheHardware #CanIGetAnOorah

The GOAT never played 7’s. Didn’t know that until today.

We might have to disagree with you on this one Richie 🤔

@PittsburghPG I wanted to check in & see who the best person would be to contact about getting an article out in the paper for our growing rugby organization. @NorthPittUnited is adding a MS Boys & MS Girls team this spring to go with our HS Boys & HS Girls teams.

Read an article about @ClemsonFB Head Coach, @daboswinney, adopting some of the @AllBlacks rugby culture the other day. Just witnessed it play out as he accepted his Coach of the Year Award. So much respect for him to share this special moment w/ his mentor. #HumilityAtItsFinest

[FanDuel Sports Network Southwest @FanDuelSN_SW]

“If you don’t think football matters - are you kidding me?”

@ClemsonFB’s Dabo Swinney gives an amazing tribute to his mentor, Woody McCorvey, after winning Coach of the Year. #BryantAwards

[Coach Danka @CoachDanka]

This is the greatest thing that I have seen in awhile. Cooper Dawson committed to Syracuse, but let his friend announce the commitment. #MoreThanFootball

[ESPN @espn]

This might be the best commitment video you've ever seen 🙌 (via @SEisbergWCIV)

[Coach Danka @CoachDanka]

Not a Duke Basketball Fan, but I am now a Zion Williamson fan. He has a certain sense of humility & is a truly grounded young man. He is the type of player that you wish to coach in any sport. Always looking to be the best version of themselves. https://t.co/9VgCD1HgPR

I cannot praise rugby enough for what it has and is doing for Ellis and us as a family. If you are thinking twice whether rugby would work for chn with autism or other disabilities...read these.

People may forget what you do but people will never forget how you make them feel.

This is a really powerful statement. We must all embody the champion’s mentality and realize that every moment is an opportunity grow.

Loser's Mentality: "I have to practice"
