Had the pleasure of hosting @StJohnsBaseball for practice this week before the Super. Their first practice of the week, there was an 8y/o boy watching from the stands. Their head coach, while prepping for a super regional, went and asked the kid if he had his glove, and had him out there for the entire practice. He did all their defensive drills with them, and leaned on the turtle for BP. An experience of a lifetime for that kid. These 2 moments were awesome for those kids, and a reminder that it’s a kids game! While they didn’t have their best showing on the field, I’ll remember how they treated people while they were here, and that was awesome.

Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold:

Two kids. One rich. One poor.

Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids.

The rich kid has two choices.

Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more.

Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater.

The poor kid has two choices too.

Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been.

Or outwork everyone in the room.

Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch.

Same choice for all of them.

Ownership or victimhood.
Fuel or excuse.

The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it.

The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it.

Greatness doesn't come from where you start.

It comes from which kid you choose to feed.

Jaden Ivey blackballed for speaking on his beliefs, Miles Bridges still in the league after brutally beating a woman

NBA continues to be weird to me

[Sam Dekker @dekker]

I have no bias here.

This is a tech 10/10 times. For multiple reasons… it would have lost the game for his team and he would have tried to fight the officials like he did nothing wrong. I just don’t understand it at all.

Also, referees need to grow a spine in instances like this.

We are good! He’s not going anywhere!

Professing Christians who are offended by this are telling on themselves.

Jesus is going to marry a formerly promiscuous Bride.

Some of you are acting like you won’t be part of the wedding.

[Jake Higdon @JakeHigdon35]

Man this is super disappointing. Guy shares his story boasting in Christ's redemption for his wife and is getting destroyed by "Christian" accounts. He's literally boasting in weakness (2nd Corinthians 12:9-10) and getting absolutely crapped on but Christians. Crazy.

[Jake Higdon @JakeHigdon35]

I don't understand the best scorer on the team passing the ball away through a ton of traffic on the last offensive possession of the game.

I’m not sure how many players in @AlabamaMBB history are better pure players than Labaron Philon but it would be a very short list.

[Jake Higdon @JakeHigdon35]

This guy is so special. We've had so many DUDES lately (Sexton, Miller, Sears, and more) but I'm not sure any of them can score like Philon

THE WILDCAT WAY has punched its ticket to the final 4 with a 54-47 Win over Thompson to improve to 27-6 on the season. Blessed to lead another great group of young men!!! LETS GOOOOO!!!!!

Death has a record of 92,000,000,000-1.

You won't beat death, but the same power that lifted that One from the dead, lives within you.

Go move mountains.

Have a great Friday.

[Jake Higdon @JakeHigdon35]

Every. Single. Summer. Practice.
Thankful for awesome assistant coaches that help get our guys to and from practice though.

Back when I was a TXHSFB coach this used to make me want to cuss everybody out😂😂😂.
