@CoachJimBoone@thecoachtube I've known Jim Boone for 30 years, and he truly is a coach's coach. In my three decades of coaching, he’s one of the best teachers of the game I've come across.
On the eve of College Basketball’s Final Game; I am reminded of Coach Don Meyers 10 Pointers for a State Championship:
1. GET THERE: Everything you do must be geared to getting there.
2. Once You Get There, Don’t Make it a Big Deal - The Awe Factor
3. Do What You Did to Get There, Don’t get Fancy.
4. But Be Aggressive - Look for Ways to Win, Be Aggressive Early in Game.
5. REST; More Gold Medals are Lost from Over Training, than Undertraining.
6. Prevent Easy Baskets!
7. Get Some Easy Baskets: Running, Rebounding, Getting Fouled, Attack their Best Player.
8. Make Your Free Throws.
9. Make Your Layups: Two Hands & Two Feet, Make Clean Layups in Practice, Shoot Pressured Layups.
10. Give Your Team a Reason - Deserving to Win!
I was fired today. Well, laid off. "Budget cuts," my boss said. I packed my box. I was terrified. I have a mortgage. As I walked to the elevator, the CEO—the big boss who never talks to anyone—stepped in with me. "You're Sarah, right?" he asked. "Yes sir." "You stayed late last month to help the interns fix that presentation. You didn't ask for overtime." I nodded, surprised he knew. "I can't stop the layoffs," he said. "Board's decision. But I made a phone call." The elevator dinged. He handed me a card. "My friend runs a firm across town. He's expecting your call at 9 AM tomorrow. He needs a manager who cares about people. The pay is 20% higher." I stared at him. "Why?" "Because you held the door for the cleaning lady every single morning," he said. "I notice things." Character is what you do when you think no one is watching.

As an AD, we made a rule: if a student-athlete quits mid-season, they can’t join preseason activities or the next season’s team until the season they quit is over. Purpose: hold athletes accountable to their commitment.
Absolutely love this
A lot of times we are so busy looking at the next thing that we take for granted the special we have TODAY

As mentioned on air the other day at @KWCH12, this is my FAVORITE Super Bowl commercial of all time.
I remember when it aired, and I froze.
God made a farmer.
The Lawless family is made of a bunch of farmers. I may not know much about it, but I'm proud to be a part of a community that provides. Cheers to farmers. And cheers to my dad as we'd ride to grandma's farm in Belle Plaine when I was little. We often listened to Paul Harvey. Good day!
