John Harbaugh using getting fired by the Ravens as past of his commencement speech Saturday at Miami University.
Really great message overall on
the "amazing powers of caring and encouragement." Gives you some insight into how he handles himself as a coach.
30 years ago I was the starting QB at Utah State University. My senior year I got benched. For the next 15 years I walked around feeling like a certified loser. Then I read this quote from Pat Summitt:
'Winning is fun… Sure. But winning is not the point.
Wanting to win is the point.
Not giving up is the point.
Never letting up is the point.
Never being satisfied with what you’ve done is the point.'
It snapped me out of it. If you’re still carrying a sports setback, a benching, a missed opportunity, or any “I’m not enough” story… this is your permission slip to drop it. The game isn’t over. Your story is not yet written. You are still a work in progress. The point is you keep wanting it. You keep getting up. And you listen to that quiet voice that says, "I will try again tomorrow."

Never gets old. Still generates goosebumps. The greatest hype video for the greatest rivalry in WrestleMania history. Put this on a loop all day
Everybody wants discipline… until discipline gets loud. Everybody wants toughness… until toughness gets uncomfortable.
Hard coaching isn’t abuse. Hard coaching is correction. Hard coaching is standards. Hard coaching is loving a kid enough not to let him stay average.
If a coach is demanding effort, detail, toughness, and accountability bothers you… that probably says more about today’s culture than it does the coach.
Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.
Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥
You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.
Hard is the lesson.

Incredible take from Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo:
"The media, who don't know anything about sports, say 'Why is he yelling his players?' That's called coaching... if parents & friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents & better friends."
The off-season has officially begun.
This week we avg 64 in attendance with 80+ different players putting in work building towards 2026. The standard has been raised & the grind continues.
252 days we travel to take on the Pioneers of Millbrook HS. The countdown is on 🏈🔥
