Kids AND Parents: Please do me a favor…

Click the video and watch the players, the emotion.

Click the video and listen to the announcers.

Read the shared Tweet/X post from the Chicago Blackhawks, one of the most iconic professional franchises in the world.

You don’t have to specialize in one sport.

You don’t have to skip high school.

You don’t have to play for this club or that club or else.

Kids AND Parents: This goes for ALL sports. Mason was a first-round NHL draft pick this past June.

If this doesn’t get your attention, I don’t know what I or anyone else can do to make you realize this is about YOUR life, YOUR lifelong memories - not another adult’s decision for YOUR future.

Very few things stronger than the bias the @D2Football playoff committee has for Mankato State.

Along with their hatred for Minnesota Duluth. A one loss conference champ in the NSIC shouldn’t have to play on the road in the first round.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

I keep coming back to this question:

Are you willing to sprint when the distance is unknown?

In 2021, Georgia Tech strength coach Lewis Caralla delivered this epic speech to the football team.

If it doesn’t light a fire under you, check your pulse…

He starts with a series of brutal truths:

• Winning isn’t loyal to you
• Winning doesn’t care about you
• Winning doesn’t care how sore you are
• Winning doesn’t care how hard you work
• Winning doesn’t care how much sleep you’ve had

But then comes the line that hit me:

Are you willing to sprint when the distance is unknown?

That mindset is rare.

It demands two things:

1. An unshakable belief in yourself
2. A deep conviction in the mission

If you have one without the other, you won’t last.

You need both.

From what I’ve seen, the greatest things in life are built by people willing to sprint when they can’t see the finish line:

The sprint to support loved ones when they need you most.

The sprint to create something meaningful.

The sprint to serve others and leave a lasting mark.

Your task: Identify those rare pursuits worth sprinting for when the finish line is hidden.

That, to me, is what winning really is.

"And why chase winning? Because the only thing that's guaranteed in life if you don't chase it is losing."

New Mexico just released a "Scott's Tots" homage to announce free ̶t̶u̶i̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ tickets for kids under 12 to Lobo football games, and it has to be seen to be believed.

@Coach_Eck is a heck of an actor.

[Brady Goihl @BradyGoihl35]

First off I want to thank god without him this isn’t possible I want to thank the UND staff for giving me this opportunity and I want to thank everyone who has helped me along the way. With that being said I’m blessed and exited to announce I will be continuing my education and football career at the University Of North Dakota!!! GO HAWKS!!

Kirby Smart said, “The disease that creeps into your program is called entitlement. If you can stomp it out with leadership then you can stay hungry.”

Entitlement is the enemy of hard work.

It means you’re not living with a growth-mindset.
