Over time, the person who approaches life with an openness to being wrong and a willingness to learn outperforms the person who doesn’t.

One of the hidden truths about building a program that changes student-athletes’ lives.

It builds coaches along the way.

[Teddy Mitrosilis @TMitrosilis]

Jerry Seinfeld was asked about Father’s Day.

Does he do anything special to celebrate?

Any specific festivities with his kids?

You’d expect Seinfeld, a legendary comedian, to respond with a funny quip about being a dad.

But he didn’t.

Seinfeld said:

“I don’t need any special days. They’re all special. We spend a lot of time together, and I enjoy every second of it.”

In just a few seconds, Seinfeld explained how to live.

***

Lesson: Find joy in the ordinary

We tend to glamorize extraordinary events.

• Lavish vacations
• Getting a dream job
• Winning a championship

But those events are a tiny part of our lives.

Truth is, most of our days are ordinary.

“I’m a believer in the ordinary and mundane,” Seinfeld says.

There’s joy in ordinary.

There’s satisfaction in doing the mundane.

***

Lesson: Relish the “garbage” time

Seinfeld doesn’t believe in “quality time.”

He thinks it misses the whole point.

“I always find that a little sad when [parents] say, ‘We have quality time,’” Seinfeld said. “I don’t want quality time. I want the garbage time.”

• Playing in the backyard
• Looking for birds at the park
• Watching a movie on the couch

This is “garbage” time as parent.

It’s the absolute best time there is.

***

Lesson: Eat late-night Cheerios

It’s easy to get on the treadmill of life.

Caught up in your goals and routines.

But sometimes, we need to break the rules.

Here’s how Seinfeld described garbage time with his kids:

“You see them in their room reading a comic book and you get to watch that for a minute, or [having] a bowl of Cheerios at 11 o’clock at night when they’re not even supposed to be up. The garbage, that’s what I love.”

Stop optimizing for a second.

Allow yourself to live life.

Eat the late-night Cheerios.

***

Seinfeld is talking about fatherhood.

But he’s really talking about life.

• Find joy in the ordinary
• Relish the process
• Make time to live

Simple lessons for all of us.

What an incredible accomplishment last night! I have loved watching this girl fight through adversity. 2 knee surgeries later, she has put the ball in the back of the net 100 times with a year and a half left to go!

[Westminster Athletics @WCA_Wildcats]

Congratulations to AnnaLi Weekley for an amazing career accomplishment last night in the game against New Hope. She recorded her 100th career goal for Westminster after scoring her third goal of the night!

What an amazing accomplishment AnnaLi! We are so proud of you! #GCG

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

The higher you climb in leadership, the greater the responsibility, the greater the burden, and the greater the demands. You must have thick skin and a big heart. It is not for the weak.

If you genuinely knew the weight of leadership, you would have more grace for leaders.
