@coachdeesmith Man, she's looking at a location that would rival any place in country for prices.
Go inland a couple of miles and she'd find some.
For example, this is found in that same search area. https://t.co/pwgQVHKQzm

🏈To the coaches out there:
What’s the realest advice you’d give?
Not the cliché stuff.
The hard truth.
The kind that reminds you:
•Show up early. Stay late.
•Don’t beat the kids out the door.
•Earn your keep.
•Support the head coach — in public and behind closed doors- your philosophy doesn’t have to be his, but everyone has to know you SUPPORT his.
•Culture killers? Coaches too cool to work.
•Be the best assistant in the building first.
Drop your best below. Somebody out there needs to hear it.

@NHL @Ticketmaster 2012 Game 6 SCF. Kings vs. Devils. "After 45 years, the Kings can finally wear their crown"
My dad and I were at game 4 of the 2012 Blues / Kings series sweep and it was electric.
Could only imagine the cup clincher.
This by a hair over the 2014 Game 5 clincher vs. NYR.

3. My homegirl Lisa would have been so stoked about watching this chase. Wish she was here.
That's all. Just putting this out there for posterity sake.

Wayne Gretzky will always be the one for me, but was thinking about some of his stats compared to Ovechkin.
1. Who benefitted from Gretzky assists the most? Without looking up I'm guessing Jari Kurri and Luc Robataille are up there.

2. I wonder how much the travel schedule could have affected Gretzky in his playing days. Two of the furthest outposts in the NHL at the time of them playing. Edmonton and Los Angeles. Heck, I even remember the 93 Cup run when the Kings didn't come out of Canada in 4 series.

I just finished coaching my 31st season at the same school.

Now that I'm older and I think a little wiser, having coached for so long, I find game day extremely entertaining.

Why? Because one of two teams and school communities show up.

There is one kind of team with parents screaming at the refs from the stands, coaches losing their marbles over questionable play calls, players lacking self-control and putting on a display of cockiness and arrogance that is disrespectful to their school and the game of football.

On the other kind of team I'm talking about, you see parents cheering their kids on, coaches having fun and kids enjoying the competition while displaying a high level of sportsmanship and respect for the game.

What's even more entertaining is when two of the same kind of teams show up to compete.

When it's two "win at any cost" teams competing it is sometimes athletic but most of the time out of control and difficult (but entertaining) to watch. Sad really. Immature and shallow.

When two of the "Building champions and character development" teams show up. It can also at times be athletic in nature, usually hard hitting and yet respectful at the same time. It's something to witness. Hit or get hit. Pick each other up after the play and do it again all 4 quarters.

The question on the table is which kind of coach, Athletic Director, school community, team are you?

If you are like the first team mentioned, then good luck with that. Your season will end (win or lose) and you will still feel empty and lost. It will negatively impact your school community with selfish and negative coaches and players walking your halls. It will taint your school culture and eventually catch-up with you.

If you are like the second team, then good for you. When your season ends you will feel complete, knowing you gave it your all and that you played the game the right way AND your athletes and coaches are mature and ready for whatever life throws at them. Your school community will thrive since you have young men and coaches that build up and put team and community above self.

True champions and winners on and off the field. That's my kind of team. What about you? Which team are you?

[Mr. Coach Matt Walter @CoachMGW]

@jhwill Yes, yes he did….

Playoff football happening everywhere. I was glued to my seat as scorekeeper until #23 came up with a chance to end the game and 6 run rally.

That’s my favorite 1st basemen!
