All I need is a cell phone and @coachdwes watching my back and ANYTHING is possible. Dallas isn’t where we’re from is who we are. Doing daily what many said was “Impossible”.

[Coach Scott X. Nady @CoachNady]

Some guys Coach for the X’s & O’s & some guys are real Coaches who coach to develop men. There is a big difference! My friend Coach Todd @SOCFootball1 is a transformational coach. That’s why Dallas loves him.

Adam Silver says next season’s schedule is on hold until LeBron makes his decision ⏳👀

"We have to finish up the schedule and where LeBron plays affects the schedule ... opening week, Christmas. So I need him to make a decision."

America is a constant work in progress. Every generation must take up the unfinished work of the last and carry it further—protecting what’s right, fixing what’s wrong, and making our union a little more perfect. 250 years later, that’s more important than ever.

To the real MVPs — Happy Father’s Day from UD Football! 💪💙

The Athletic examined “the biggest recruiting finds at every Power 4 school in the past decade” and for the #Gophers they nailed it with @AntoineWJr11! They write:

“Minnesota: Antoine Winfield Jr., S, 3-star, No. 1,392 (2016) — Baylor, Houston, Michigan State and Northwestern offered the undersized defensive back out of The Woodlands (Texas) High School. He signed with the Gophers and became a unanimous All-American in 2019 before winning a Super Bowl and becoming a Pro Bowler with the Tampa Bay Bucs.”

I decided to stay at UD this summer and keep flying. Got to solo today! Not many places you can fly and play football! Appreciate my instructor Armando getting me ready for today! @coachmaiuri @CoachShep3 @DubuqueFootball

This moved me!

Fear is often mistaken for danger.

But sometimes fear is simply a signal that the opportunity is large enough to change your life.

When Coach P. J. Fleck (@Coach_Fleck) was deciding whether to leave comfort for a bigger challenge, his wife asked one question:

“Does it scare you?”

“Hell yeah.”

Her response:

“We’re going.” 🦫

Coach Fleck says there is a difference between making a living and building a life.

A living is what you earn. 💵

A life is what you create. 🏡

The decisions that scare you most often ask you to trade short-term comfort for long-term meaning.

If it scares you, it means it matters.

Growth rarely feels comfortable.

Fear is not always a warning.

Sometimes it is an invitation to build a life bigger than the one you’ve settled for.

@GopherFootball has a great one. ⬇️
