[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

John Wooden said, "Champions never complain, they are too busy getting better."

The only thing complaining changes is your attitude and for the negative.
• It brings stress.
• It brings negativity.

Focus on what you can control.

Complaining isn't a solution, it's a distraction from action, gratitude, and growth.

Anyone can complain, but great leaders rise above complaining to find a way.

5 Phrases to Choose Instead of Complaining👇
1. "What is within my control in this situation?"
By focusing on what you can control, you take ownership and responsibility to make meaningful changes. It shifts your attention from external factors, over which you have no influence, to your own actions and decisions. You start to focus on where you can make a real difference.

2. "What can I do to make things better?"
This question encourages proactivity. By asking yourself what positive steps you can take, you move away from a passive stance of complaining to an active role in improving the situation. You choose to focus your mindset on productive thoughts.

3. "I accept the circumstances, but I won't let them consume me."
Acceptance is not about resignation, it's about acknowledging reality and your environment. Once you accept what you cannot change, it frees up mental energy to focus on what you can influence. This mindset helps you focus on what matters and reduces your stress and frustration.

4. "I am going to take action; complaining won't change anything."
This is about recognizing the futility of complaining. Taking action, even in small ways, leads to a sense of accomplishment and ownership. It can actually bring about change, unlike complaining. This mindset helps you focus on action instead of stagnation.

5. "I choose to be grateful for what I have because in another life, I might not be that lucky."
Living with gratitude means choosing to focus on what you appreciate. Gratitude shifts your focus from what's wrong to what's right in your life. Recognizing and appreciating your blessings, no matter how small, can significantly improve your overall sense of well-being and happiness.

"Complaining is one of the ego's favorite strategies for strengthening itself." - Eckhart Tolle

Remember that the games cannot be played without our Officials. They are as much an integral part as the Coaches and the Players that compete in all sports. Shortages occurring in every sport, if you have the time, sign up and help be part of the solution. #NYSPHSAAOfficialsDay

[NYSPHSAA @NYSPHSAA]

Two more days of #NYSPHSAA Officials Appreciation Day(s).

Say thanks to the people who make playing interscholastic sports possible. #NYSPHSAAOfficialsDay

[Coach Trim @Coach_Trim16]

This is a big first step. It’s now in the hands of the Counties and Districts throughout the State to decide.

[Jon Campbell @JonCampbellNY]

NEW: As of Feb. 1, Cuomo administration will let local health departments decide whether moderate- and high-risk sports (football, hockey, basketball among them) can play games.

Huge implications for high school sports.

From the updated guidance:
