SHOCKING: A growing number of middle school athletes — mostly boys — are intentionally repeating 8th grade to delay their start in high school, giving themselves another full year to get bigger, stronger, and faster, which in turn dramatically boosts their chances at elite high school spots, college scholarships, and massive NIL deals potentially worth millions.

William La Jeunesse: “Of 8M high school students in sports only 7% will play in college.”

“On the other hand, the [likely] number one pick in this year’s NBA draft, [AJ Dybantsa], did 8th grade twice.”

CRAZY IDEA: How about we let more kids be kids!

I asked Wayne to give me a short list of things he wanted to work on.
One of those things, in his words, was “lift.”
“When I miss, it’s short.”
So we set out to find a feeling.
I used the tee earlier in the week with another player for different reasons, but it felt like a simple way to help Wayne experience getting under the ball differently.
It also became a reference point.
Something we could keep returning to as we explored other movements.
Sometimes that’s all it takes.
I love the simplicity of something like a tee.
Beginner’s mind.
Something kids use that we can return to.
I make shooting simple. Follow me.

Dabo Swinney said, "It's the optimists who change the world."

Success starts with your mindset and what you do every single day.

A bad attitude holds you back.
A great attitude takes you forward.

"The only disability in life is a bad attitude."

Complaints don’t just express unhappiness; they prolong it.

Mack Brown shares a can't miss message on habits and success.

"If your habits do not lead to your dreams - change your habits."

"If I'm not doing the things that I need to do to be successful out here, figure out why and do it. You wanna do it. It's easy to do."

Then he delivered the real truth:
"It's not what you're capable of doing. It's what you're willing to do."

"You are all capable or you wouldn't be here. Every one of you. All of you are really good or they wouldn't have brought you in."

"But what are you willing to do?"

Many are capable, few are COMMITTED.

"Now you should make the choice to be the best you can be and do what you were brought here to do and be a great teammate."

You win through your habits and how you show up.

The first choice is to show up. The next choice is to commit.

Commit, show up, do the work, and stack the days.

Coach K on accountability and holding everyone, including your star players, to the standard.

"It's called accountability. Holding a player accountable to play up to their individual potential."

You can't hold someone to a standard you and they haven't defined.

You don’t hold players accountable to you. You hold them accountable to the version of themselves they said they want to become.

Step 1: Define who they want to become.
Step 2: Create a shared agreement on the standard.
Step 3: Then coach them to it, every day (not just when it's easy).

Kobe Bryant on how he used the Compound Effect to inevitably become one of the best in the world at his craft:

✖️The Compound Interest equation is Reps multiplied by Time (Reps x Time = Growth). Improvement is quite early and obvious late— as you put in more time and reps. Most people quit in the silent phase, early on, not realizing the results were already building beneath the surface. The key is starting as early as possible and putting energy toward that improvement, because you can’t ever get TIME back, no matter how many reps you plan to do in the future.

🐍 Kobe didn’t just wake up at 4am for discipline, he did it to create separation between him and his opponent. The edge wasn’t intensity, it was timing. While others were still asleep, he was stacking deposits. By the time they caught up for their first session, he was already on his second, compounding effort into distance.

⛄️ Growth doesn’t just come from working harder, but can also come from working earlier AND more often. Kobe didn’t chase overnight success, he built a schedule that made exponential improvement inevitable and catching up to him nearly impossible.

Design a system where TIME works for you, so every REP doesn’t just add up, it multiplies and makes it harder for others to close the gap.

I admire atheists a lot for their level of FAITH.

If you really think about it, watch this video, & are honest with yourself being an atheist requires a million times more FAITH than believing in God.

The smartest guy I ever met in real life, I played poker against, & he was the lead engineer on the mission to land a rover on Mars.

He said he was an ATHEIST, but since studying the universe he came to the LOGICAL CONCLUSION there must be an intelligent designer.

He told me MOST of his colleagues were the same - the deeper they went, the more likely they were to say without God the odds of everything we see working in order is 0.00%. Impossible.

The deeper you dive into how complex & vast the universe is, the MORE FAITH it takes to believe it all came from nothing & is random.

Most atheists just want to be atheists because if there is no God, they can be their own god.

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge".

-Psalm 19:1

What a beautiful thing to say and how lucky we might be to have parents who believe in us.

Since seeding began in 1975, a No. 1 seed has won the Super Bowl 27 times.

Only one of those No. 1 seeds had to beat three 12-win teams during that playoff run: the 2025 @Seahawks.

From seeing ghosts to seeing silver and his reflection: Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is now a Super-Bowl winning quarterback.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

The Seattle Seahawks are world champions.
