Clark Lea says the essence of life is that it’s challenging and one of the biggest problems he found when he arrived at Vanderbilt was people trying to be too supportive, staff members were creating soft spaces that reinforced a victim mindset
“There was a real mentality here of victim. Somehow the universe was against us, which isn’t true. We had almost become numb to the control we did have. Losing becomes like a plaque that just kind of covers everything. My job early on was jackhammering it away.”
“Change the people or change the people. Meaning, help them change, or eventually change who is in the organization. What you need are people that are fighting for the program in all the corners of the building.”
“What I learned was some of the support staff roles were among the worst with respect to creating soft spaces for these players. They were really reinforcing this victim’s mindset. ‘Oh, I’m so sorry that you can’t take this class because football practice.’ ‘I’m so sorry that you’ve had to endure all these injuries and you haven’t gotten anything out of it.’ Well, I just don’t believe that to be true.”
“I think the essence of life is that it’s challenging. Struggle is actually what makes life worth living. When you struggle through something, there’s always some value inherited at the end of it, no matter the outcomes that we face. If they’re not willing to change and take on the new vision, and not just take it on, but take it on as their own, then it’s time to change the people.”
I’m so fucking happy for Kornet man. Bro really put the series away with that block. Just a DAWG from Vanderbilt. I just know his old man Frank is over the moon right now. Don’t ever forget where you came from.
@avygal@MortweetsC@StepOnThemQuee1@grok he's a middleupper class white gay liberal in seattle, he literally can't conceptualize of Muslims or Brown people being/doing bad despite tying his political identity to victimhood, oppression + inequality
@MortweetsC@avygal@StepOnThemQuee1 Will do, just take 2 minutes out of your gay extravaganza of a life in Seattle to read about something 99.9% of Somali girls go thru. They’re a part of the same oppressed 🌈 mind you
@MortweetsC@avygal@StepOnThemQuee1 You realize 99.9% of Somali girls in MN all undergo genital circumcision as infants while your MAGA girls thing is just a fantasy
@bri451973@SethDavisHoops I'm very interested to see how you handle FL's size. Vandy is so small this year but our guys are big bodied and athletic. You have some size but a whole lot of white guys. I think you at least keep it close, beating FL this year all comes down to their shooting/streakiness
@painfulant @HuskerZone@SethDavisHoops lol https://t.co/PsktQs9pun says I sent that tweet 48 minutes ago, was a brutal loss but i'm just fine. imagine projecting though and having "Mikel" as your name irl holeeee
